gramps50 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 I have 2 Cabela's RLO combos, a 5 wt & a 8wt I don't think these combos come with good line so I'm looking to replace it. The 8 wt I will be using for bass fishing throwing streamers & poppers etc the 5 wt more for trout & pan fish. The local fly shop is having an open house in 2 weeks and one of the specials is bring in your old line & get $20 off any Scientific Anglers line. My problem is with so many choices what would be my best bet?
Lancer09 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The GPX's are sweet, I've always liked the Rio lines I've casted. I want to say both SA and Rio have some sort of low stretch "in touch" line that doesn't stretch like a normal fly line. Maybe try casting one when your there. All depends on what you can cast well.
Big Brown Trout Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 i just bought cabela's house brand (forgot the name) wf6i and i really love it. Personally i prefer it over my scientific anglers line. plus it was only 50 bucks. Let the summer of Carp, begin.
Jason R. Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I have bought a bunch of lines lately and honestly- as long as I get a weight forward line that is from a decent company I have been happy. I even like Cortland 333- which I have on my 7 and 8 weights (cut off about 2-3 feet to make the taper shorter). Cortland's pricier lines are nice too. You cannot go wrong with Rio or SA. All their lines that I have tried are great. I've got GPX Textured on my 5 and it is money. I don't like the Sharkskin lines- only because of that annoying noise they make. http://flyinthesouth.com/
Ill Trout Bum Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I'veal ways had great luck with Rio Gold line. Casts great and is long lasting,especially when cleaned regularly. Scott
