Newbie advice needed

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.


I believe the Prestige Plus WF floating line is good enough. There are
rumors Cortland makes the line.
If you decide you enjoy fly-fishing, you could upgrade to a better line and
keep the Prestige Plus for practicing
your cast. I use Orvis Wonderline DT (yellow) to practice. I purchased the
line by using the $25.oo off coupon. Yellow is good to see the line roll
out. Practicing will wear the line out. The good thing about DT (double
taper) is you can reverse it. I use Scientific Anglers Trout DT (willow
color) when fishing.

Thank you Tom. That sounds like good advice.
