Has anyone used this line before? It costs about $17 bucks. I know that you dont want to go cheap when it come to fly line. One author said that learning how fly cast with cheap line is "like learning how to ride a bike with flat tires."
But 3M claims that the Concept fly line:
Specially designed to make fly fishing easier for beginners, the Concept™ line helps compensate for the casting problems that can lead to frustration. Plus it's an extremely durable line that's available at an exceptional price.
Concept line is ideal for beginners and occasional anglers, with a special shorter taper, shorter head, and shorter overall line that is easier to cast and control. It is general purpose line for all weather conditions and also is extremely durable. The weight forward (WF) taper style has a Short head and taper for quick rod loading. The double taper (DT) style has an extra long belly ideal for short to medium casts and allows excellent long–range line control. The level (L) line is an untapered design with Scientific Anglers™ core and coating technology. The core for all styles is braided multifilament nylon, and the coating is 3M PVC formulated with Microballoons™ for excellent floatability. Yellow color, length 57′, except level line is 50′.
Concept™ Floating Fly Line Weight Forward Taper: Gives beginners an outstanding way to eliminate many casting frustrations that can plague newcomers. Weight forward taper offers excellent fishability from short to long ranges. Easiest to cast--most of weight is carried in the front section of the line.
Concept™ Floating Fly Line Double Taper
Designed to make fly fishing easier for beginners, compensates for frustrating casting problems. Extremely durable line, exceptional price. Double taper line ideal for short to medium casts. Effectively dissipates energy for more delicate presentations.
So what is your take on this line? Which taper should I go with? I have a 8' 6", 6wt rod, Im think of going with the 7wt floating line.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
