The rod and reel are only half of the story when optimizing gear. The correct fly line is a must for maximizing the performance of a rod and should be matched to the type of rod being used as well as the type of fishing being done.

 

 

Here are a few guidelines to help you choose the right fly line. First, we will cover the dynamics of a fly line. The change in the diameter of the fly line is called the taper. The taper determines how the energy of your cast is transmitted from the rod to the fly. The longer and thinner the front taper, belly, and rear taper, the slower the line will dissipate the energy of the cast, which allows for greater accuracy and control. The shorter and thicker the front taper of the fly line is, the more energy is transmitted directly to the fly, which will increase distance and turn the fly over quicker. There are several different types of tapers to consider: weight-forward, double taper and specialty (sinking lines).

About fly line construction. It starts with a core material followed by an outer coating. The stiffness of the core material is important to consider in regards to the type of climate being fished. The more supple materials (Dacron) are better for cool weather/cool water environments. When heading to the tropics, a stiffer core is best and will not wilt with the heat, break down in a saltwater environment and will shoot well resulting in longer casts.

WEIGHT FORWARD LINES
Weight forward lines are constructed with the greatest mass of fly line located in the first 30’. This helps to propel the cast outward and will load the rod quickly. These are versatile lines that delicately present to trout or that nasty Barracuda in the tropics. Depending on the application of the line, the length of the head on weight forward lines will vary as well as change the casting characteristics.

Description

Our lines are 100ft in total length and coated with a UV resistant PVC to prevent corrosion. This allows for an excellent formation of the taper and gives the line a low coefficient of friction to improve casting ranges and conditions. The core of our lines are manufactured with a braided nylon for strength. This is also to the advantage for a low line memory.


Weight Forward - The casting weight is gathered in the front end of the line. This taper is an excellent choice for windy conditions or long distance casting.

I will have no hesitation in recommending

Hi Mike, In March of this year I purchased two new fly lines from you, a 5 and a 6 weight, both weight forward and floating; the six weight in particular was to replace a SA GPX line that I had for quite a few years and which, I must admit, was a great line. The reason for purchasing the lines was for a trip to Slovenia this month (April) and I was hesitant in forking out almost $200.00 for one new line, let alone another $200.00 for the second. To say that the performance of the lines was outstanding is an understatement and especially so because of their price and being so impressed, I had to contact you to let you know of my experience. Both lines performed well in 30 degree plus temperatures during the first week and then 5 degrees during the second week and I found that with my casting style and my Loomis rods I could not fault them - the Loomis MAY have suited a 1/2 or full weight heavier, but from swinging streamers to delicate dry fly presentations to wary Marbles, the lines did it all and they appear to have little or no memory. I suppose I should not have been so apprehensive, as I purchased a saltwater line from you ten years ago to chase Bones in Los Roques and that line still works well and is in excellent condition despite a lot of use; I also have a 3 weight double taper line from TROUTFLIES as well. The fly club of which I am President (Illawarra Fly Fishers) always has members seeking advice on a new fly line purchase and I must say I will have no hesitation in recommending those distributed by TROUTFLIES. Kind regards, Neil Nelson
