Neville: They are both floating, w/f line. You’re right, the Orvis will probably out last the no name, (it should for the price difference) but it’s Chinese made too, plus I can buy 5 spools of the cheap stuff for the SALE price of the Orvis. Don’t get me wrong. I’m VERY happy with the Orvis line. But I’m happy (so far) with the cheap stuff too. I’m going to the lake tomorrow I hope and will give a “post fishing” report on both as neither has ever been wet yet. Chuck

Are they both weight forward lines or both double tapers? You can’t really compare if they are not the same. For floating lines, it remains to be seen if they continue to float after normal use. It is not casting distance but overall performace that counts.

It casts great. BUT, that same day, I ordered a spool of no brand of eBay because it was only $5.99 plus 99 cents shipping just to see what the difference is between the higher dollar brand name and the no brand stuff. I stung it up this morning and there IS a difference. And that difference is this. That no name spool outcasts the Orvis line by a mile. I couldn’t believe how that cheap stuff casts both in distance and in accuracy. I highly recommend it for sure. I ordered a 6wt line and put it on a 5/6 wt rod btw.
