Just a reminder that there are about three different manufacturers of clear mono floating lines. Some are labeled tropic or coldwater.

In my previous post, I pointed out that the line marketed by Monic is a nice, supple, no-memory, excellent casting line. The one marketed as a Cortland 555 clear floater is simply garbage. Stiff, lots of memory, and probably casts like crap.

The same clear floater material is used as the end of the Cortland Ghost Tip 555 line. Avoid it. Oddly the Cortland Ghost Tip 444 has a clear INTERMEDIATE as the tip end, not a floater. Talk about confusion. I like the 444, as a special purpose line.
