Fly Lines

I tend to use cortland 444 most of the time, but I replace my floating line twicwe a year, intermediate and sinkers every year, fishing from the boats they get destroyed. (petrol residue etc.)

Don't seek a second opinion.

If you want the capability to delicately roll-cast to 40 feet, and cast the whole line with the minimum of false casts, then I recommend the Lee Wulff Triangle Taper. My TT6/7 floater is now 12 years old, and with a little replacticiser I am sure it is going to reach its 15th birthday. I also have or have had in the past a Cortland 444f,and 333f, an Aircel Ultra 2 specialist,Ultra 3 specialiist, several Masterline floaters and sinkers, a Shakespeare Worcestershire fast sink, and the TT is still my No. 1. Expensive, yes, but looked after just goes on and on......

Its funny how we all have our own take on what a qaulity line is the worst line I have used was A lee wulf triangle taper you can get a load of it working in the air but it used to hit the water like a falling log could well have been my casting style although I dont think so ;) .I use a hardy line for all my river fishing wf4 dt4 buetiful hi floating low memory lines may be a bit limp for some poeple but I love em. good old courtland 444 classic peach floater for the lakes. although if the Lee wulf enables me to do a fourty foot roll cast might buy my self another one and start practicing :P

Someone once said to me "Dont worry It could be worse." So I didn't, and It was!

Hi everyone

 

I'm new to the forum. Have a simple question, I have got an old cortland line on my reel, it is pushing on 9 years old and is full of nicks and scratches, basically on its last legs. I have been considering replacing it with the new Cortland 555 clear floating.

 

Having read a few articles it seems many of the reviews rate it very highly, but many come to the issue of tying the leader to the tip and say because the line is hollow it is very difficult to tie a leader to the line and recommend the braided loop. I particularlly do not like the braided loops as I have lost fish in the past due to these not holding, not trout but salt water fish.

 

What are your opions on the 555 and any tips to overcome the tying problems.

 

Also heard the Snowbee lines are fantastic, know their glasses got a pair of those that are also close to 9 years old and still going strong.

 

I will appreciate any help on this.

 

Cheers
