![]() ![]() ![]() While there is a standard for fly lines, it's no longer that relevant (if you want more history on fly lines, I’d recommend reading “America’s Fly Lines” by Victor Johnson). Second, there's a tremendous amount of variation among lines. the number of lines balloons into the 100s, and that's just for 5-weights! When you add in DT, color variations, specialty lines, different sink rates, etc. We tested 43 weight-forward 5-weight floating lines in this test, which is probably somewhere around a third of the WF5F lines on the market. Why are fly lines so tough to understand? First, there are a TON of lines out there. As far as trout lines were concerned, it was RIO Gold, SA GPX, and for lighter rods, RIO Trout LT. In fact, when we started this project, we too knew very little about fly lines. As we continued to scour the web for new ideas, it was pretty clear that the most talked about and least understood part of our equipment was fly lines. It all started with the first ever fly reel shootout way back in 2013. When we first started testing gear, we knew that we had to do things differently to make a difference. 100% of our funding comes from your gear purchase, so if this shootout helps you on your next fly fishing adventure, support us by buying your next fly line (or better yet, your next rod and reel), from us. We spend a lot of time testing gear and writing shootouts to give you all of the tools to make your next trip a success. Trident Fly Fishing is a full service fly shop. ![]()
