My son and I are going to try fly fishing. We have purchased the
Cabela's Three Forks rod that comes with the Prestige Plus reel in a
6-weight with a WF floating line. I've been reading everywhere about
how important the line quality is. Since we're newbies with "starter
outfits" are we ok with the line that comes with this combo, or would
we be better off upgrading the line? We could afford to upgrade the
line to something better if it made a difference. If not, then we
won't bother. Thanks in advance for your help.


upgrade the line... the line they send is awful.

My 2¢... fish with it first. See if you like flyfishing. Then
upgrade.

my 1 cent - the line will affect the experience... the few extra bucks
to upgrade the line are worth the improvement in the experience. trust
me...the line is crap. even i could tell the difference in its quality
and its affect on casting, presentation. upgrade the line...


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


contact walt winter at ezflyfish.com. i like the weight forward rio lines.

but i'd wager any mid-price line would be better than that tomato string
you get from cabelas in their 3 forks packages. i have a 3 forks
rod...like it fine though the reel seat came loose. cabelas sells
lines other than the garbage it ships with the low price combos.
