go to. http://www.3m.com/us/home_leisure/scianglers/about_lines_designing.jhtml look at the difference in the configuration on the WF and DT heads. I am not sure I agree with the softer landing theory, that is a function of the loop and the casting stroke. But, I sure like a DT line on a 3wt or 4wt for casting on a small stream. It does cast easier, less load going back and forth than a WF. Yes/no/maybe ?? JG Jerry Goldsmith Altamonte Springs, Fl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
