Bad Fly Line

Last summer I fished Idaho with Kevin Vang, and we stopped in a sort of
sporting liquidator store. I found a line that interested me for pike
and sal****er fishing, so I plunked down $14.95 and bought a Fenwick
World Class low stretch WF12F Sea Taper line. The front taper was just
4.5 feet, so I thought it might turn over the big bugs nicely.

I tried the line in Florida, and retired it after a couple dozen casts
because it just wouldn't flow through the guides. It hung up in the
tip and just felt sticky and soft. The water was around 70 degrees,
and the air was about the same, so it wasn't the tropical sun causing
trouble.

Has anyone had a positive experience with these lines? My inclination
is to just throw it away, but if others think these are worthwhile, I
might send it back to Fenwick.

Fortunately I brought my SA Steelhead line, and it worked beautifully
as always.
