I finally got to test my new Hook & Hackle DT-5-F hi-floater line yesterday and today on Taney.

I tested the olive-colored line on both my bamboo and fiberglass rods and it really did well with casting and mending. It was not stiff and flowed through the guides with ease. Not bad for $33.95.

I've read Cortland makes the line for Hook & Hackle. It's no different than a 444 Peach, other than color and price.

I've seen this 30-yard line recommended for mainly bamboo rods, but I'm sure they'll work with any rig.

You can check them out at hookhack.com

Cheers!!!

This is a VERY popular line on vintage glass. In fact, I am grabbing a WF6F for my newest acquisition: 8'6" LL Bean (Phillipson) 3pc 6wt glass rod.

Use that link for the $25.00 'overrun' lines they always have.

Usually do not get a pick on color though. They should always have 4's-5's-6's.

Good lines... sure beats spending full price on a line (which is something I will never do).

Agreed. I bought one as a "junk" line and found out it's better than some of my $50 lines...Absolutely cannot be beaten!!!

watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly

know everything there is to be known.

There was a thread on these lines over on the FAOL forum too. Several posted similar comments saying these were great lines, especially for the price.
