I recently spooled the Lee Wulff TT in a 6wt on my Sage SP. I really like it. Super suptle allowing really easy meaning especially when nymphing with an indicator for steelies. Probably doesn't cast as far as a stiffer/slicker line but for the type of fishing I mostly do it's ideal.
Just yesterday I also tried a Cortland 555 clear. Perhaps it was the 45F weather but man was that line ever stiff. Sure it shoots great and floats well but I can't but help think that I'm fishing with a steel wire. I presume it softens up a bit in warmer weather.
