This time I felt some unsmoothness while I was coating. I had to see a couple of cracks on my line.
This is a 6wt Western Drifter from Cortland. For the past two years, this has been working for me very hard. It was basically with 0X leader/tippet. I could tapered down to anything; 0X to 2X for large streamers, 1X to 3X for nymph fishing (with an indicator), 3X to 5X for dry fly fishing in Madison, swinging soft-hackles, and down to 6X for midge/baetis fishing when I needed to.
I will both thank and appologize to it that it had to deal with some tree branches above and rocks in the river bottom.
I haven't broken my rods yet, which is a good thing!, yet I am thinking about to replace reels/spools along with matching lines before the season starts.
I have several products that I am looking into, but this line served me very hard......Thanks, pal.
ya they say fly line only lasts 60-90 days research that one. open your wallet huh, I beleave that is based on conditions like 60 days of sun, dry climate, and no dressing so one could make it last longer depending on conditions...agreed?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the research. But it might be close because I had not been fishing every day for the past 2 years!Anyway, it worked for me very hard. Am glad that I used its life rather than broke/lost it by acccidents.
