What would you recommend for a "moderate action" rod like the 3 Forks?


The Scientific Anglers "Concept" is a nice casting line which sells for
under $20.
It's a 60 ft. line, where most lines are 90 ft.,
if that makes a difference to you. (If you're a beginning caster, it
won't make any difference for years, trust me.)


I sort of disagree with this, as you can learn to cast greater than 60'
with-in two years.
It depends on the individual and how much time they spend practicing. their
casting skills.
I've seen some fly-casters throwing nice loops of 70' in a year.

Seems logical to stay with the Prestige Plus Line, oh btw, I looked up the
line in my Cabela's catalog
last night, it's good enough. Also I would get some line-cleaner. A dirty
line becomes abrasive and will eventually wear out the guides on your
fly-rod, especially the tip. It's good to keep any casting line clean.

i haven't looked at the catalog. cabelas isn't my preferred catalog
since the time i bought wading boots and they sent me one size 10 and
one size 11 boot. but, if the prestige plus is the white line sent with
the economy combo package, it's junk. have you tried it? it's not "good
enough" unless a bad line is acceptable. and trust me, my standards in
ff stuff aint too high.
