Fly Lines

[wandtheswan]

What fly line is everyone using in bream fly fishing.
i personally like the Striper in scientific Angler range because of the extra length over the bonefish line.

any thoughts?

At the moment I'm using the Rio Quickshooter Aqualux lines, they are absolutley fantastic. Í've used SA Striper and Bonefish lines, and the Rio is way better than both of them, a little bit cheaper too I think. I'm not sure about their availability over here though.

Wandy,

I use an old model SA Striper on my 9wt, the old ones shoot like a rocket compared to the new ones, but they do tend to tangle a little more and I have a feeling that the rough braided style running line might cause a vibration down the line as it is stripped through the guides. Still I love this line and it only gets better in the warm water up north! I wish I had bought a few more before they brought out the new version.

On my 6wt I'm using a Rio Quickshooter like Dunx, they are great lines that shoot real well once they are wet.

I also have a Airflo 6wt sink tip that I use in shallow water, I have heard a lot of sink tip lines tend to hinge where the floating line meets the sinking line when casting but I haven't had any worries with this line.

I'm not sure how the extra length, of the stripper over bonefish helps, unless your in the habit of laying down 120ft casts I can't see the advantage.

Cheers,

Cole

Hi Wandy

im just using a cortland #8 on my #7 rod. i am in the middle of changing over to shooting heads as i can get my hands on dirt cheap DT line.

i would go a Striper

Hey Cole
I think the differnce in the striper and bonefish is the one can be used in cold weather and one in hot. Shooting heads are much better for distance althought a old striper can have the head chopped of and used as a running line.
