What would be a good WF 3?

One of the best examples of how the industry is f***ing up the sport in
order to sell more stuff is the line manufacturers' screwing with line
weights (i.e., producing lines whose first 30 ft is not standard). A
very good summary was put together by Chuck Stranahan (Caddis Variant)
in his posts on this thread on the VFS forum:

That may well be true JR (and I'll read the article later) but the
Cortland Quiet Taper WF3F I use has been a very good small stream line
that has a much shorter forward taper than most. That being said I
bought it knowing that after talking to the Cortland rep so there was
no false advertising involved. I don't think it roll casts as well as a
DT but it handles any wind and larger flies better than others I've
tried.
