I seldom use a double taper line, but they perform well, especially at the typically shorter distances encountered in stream fishing. But I like to use a smaller reel size, and a double taper takes up a lot of room on a reel!
But after all is said and done, you really can't go wrong with any of the premium floating lines.

and is a floater and highly visible. Within those parameters, please tell me
what you think of the WF versus the TT, versus the ????. I have one of the
Airflo multi-tips and won't go that route again, so no need to mention those.

line.]
I'd also like to pick your brains on the differences between the different
manufacturers of lines. Had a lazer line when they first came out--loved it
till it cracked. Don't know about the differences between the 444s, 555s,
333s, etc.
What about these new ghost tips? Anyone tried them? Hear that the Wonderline
is nice and slick but retains memory (unlike me!). LOL Don't want that
memory!
Anyway, you get the idea...I'm on a learning quest here and frankly know very
very little about lines. Have focused most of my fly fishing knowledge base
to flies, so am eager to learn what I can about the other aspects of our
marvelous passtime, and at this junction in time, it is lines. :)
