Get a Rio Selective Trout with Agent X - it's apparently just made with
a thinner braided core so it floats better.




Have you actually field tested this AgentX line? This is the line I'm
leaning towards but I wonder if the "new, improved, highest floating ever"
is just hype. Seems I've heard "best floating ever" somewhere before in the
last 35 years, they all float well straight out of the box G



Hey Larry,

I'm a little late to the party, but I have tried a few of the new Grand
lines, and the tips float as well, or better than anything i've used.
I've been using a WF5 for a while now, and the tip is still floating,
without any care/cleaning whatsoever. I did notice a cut/crack, but i'm
not sure it's a user fault or durability issue. I also like SA's Trout
Taper, but have limited use on it right now.

Hi,
....and then there are some of us who use WF because we like the action
at more than 40-50 feet, right???
:-)
I have been using an Orvis Wonderline for a couple of seasons on both a
5 wgt and a 4 and like the line very much.
