I bought this line for my first time fishing in a slow-moving stream. The casting was smooth and the sink rate helped my flies reach the bottom quickly. It’s a great value for someone just starting out.

The front taper works well for quick turnover. I used it in a variety of conditions and found it easier to cast than my previous line. The sink rate is just right for freshwater streams.

Perfect for beginners. The line is durable, easy to handle, and gets my flies down fast. I didn’t need to adjust much during my first few outings.
