Default Is a Rio WindCutter a good alternative for WF3?


Thanks for your reply. This narrows it down and pushes the
WindCutter out of the picture. I do need stealth.


Greg I wouldn't rule out the Windcutter, because he has it backwards
Greg (or maybe he's confusing the spey windcutter with the wf
Greg windcutter). He said that "...it has much of its weight
Greg towards the tip of the line." It's actually the opposite: the
Greg first 18-odd feet are lighter than normal.

Don't know the actual profile of this line, but from my personal
experience I also would not rule it out. I've used my 4wt Windcutter
on a couple of occasions, for example last week on a small pond and a
very small stream. Seemed to be just fine for stealthy fishing.

On the other hand, if you are not short of reel space, I would
recommend a DT line over a WF line in small-scale fishing. (I use the
WF occasionally on my small large-arbor Loop reel, since it can not
host a full 4wt DT line).
