One line I have not seen mentioned is the triangle taper. To me it offers the best of both worlds. I do fish #30 patterns with it to raising tout and yet it has the "heft" needed to plunk steelhead flies. Well, I am off with my tri taper to try for more steelies!

Currently I am using a WFF Scientific Anglers that I get from Wally World for under $20.00 ���� I am thinking about trying an Orvis Wonder line ($59.00) or a Cabela's Prestige Plus line ($39.99). Has anyone tried these? What other WFF lines are there for around the same price ($60.00) ���� I was also looking at the Cabela's Multi-Tip line ($89.99)....any comments on that?? ��������� ����� ����� ����� Thank You, ��������������������������������������� Del��� well ive never used the lines youve mentioned. ive used the cortland products on my 5 wts and my 8 wt. and on my 10 wt i have an rio windcutter spey line that i had to modify somewhat. i really think that its a matter of getting the right wt for the rod and your own casting preferences. i.e.� with my 5 wt i like to shoot a lot of line so i can stay off the fish so i drop a wt in line. so i go to a 4 wt. i can cast a good amount of line with very little effort, so i guess youll have to decide whats right for you. hope ive been able to help and let me know how things work out for you.
