Postby jack01986 » Fri Jan 12, 2007 10:58 pm

try either of these websites, they usually do cheap fly lines although i would advise you to spend a bit of cash on a good line, it alliviates alot of the heartache of swff.

Check the length of those RT Lines I think they may only be 85 foot long.

Go for a 35 Yard Line for SWFF.

Go for Rio - Scientific- Cortland - Wullf

I used to save money on lines and buy Ron Thompsons etc

Not any more
