DT Fly line for a slower action rod.
On Dec 5, 2:05 pm, wrote:
I built a 6wt rod and it has a slower action. In fact it throws a 5wt line much better, I learned this by trying a wf5. I wanted to buy a dt line for it and was wondering if there were any that compliment slower rods more?. I know that there are wf specifically designed for fast rods but wasn't sure about double taper line. Yes there are lines that compliment slower rods better, Some you might want to look at are the Rio Selective trout II (not sure if it is shipping yet), The SA Mastery trout tapers or SA XPS lines, the Cortland Classic 444, or the Classic Slyk. Another line that would be worth trying on that blank is Wulff LB 6wf. It's kind of a hybrid wf/ dt line and seems to work really well on slower rods.
