fishlover Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I enjoy the zoom talk by Ruben Breitkreutz last night. My two cents on fly lines that there are so many tapers and "features" to choose from that you have to cast the line with your rod to know if it's what you really want. I believe you can no longer use the line weight on your rod and match it to the weight on a fly line and end up with combo that you will be happy casting.

I do agree with you to some degree....but...as a fly fisher of over 40 years...don't over complicate things. Often...the "features" are nothing but marketing hype to get $ out of your pocket and into someone else's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Andersen Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I’m with Flymaster, way too many lines for me and only two of them made to the American Fishing Tackle Manufactures Association standards. Shameful. And Sci. Ang. Is no better. Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishlover Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I ran across this video of the owners 406 Fly lines discussing their thoughts on fly lines and why they got into the making fly lines. It a long video but I thought some might enjoy it. http://www.bamboorodmaking.com/VRG/20200808_VRG_Brodhead_Fly_Lines.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
