Tim Kerr –
This line performs exceptionally well when casting near the bank. The rear-loaded head holds large flies without shifting, and the fine front taper allows for accurate, subtle presentations. I’ve used it for stoneflies and terrestrials with great success.
Charles Baker –
The SlickCast coating feels smooth and doesn’t snag easily. The long back taper helps maintain drifts over distance, and the line is easy to mend when needed. A reliable choice for bankside fishing.
Alan Martin –
I appreciate the precision of the front taper for close-range presentations. The line holds big flies well, though it may be slightly heavier than other options. Still, it’s a solid performer for bank fishing.
