Quick take
An economical floating fly line with balanced casting and smooth lifting from the water.
A floating weight-forward fly line in a grass green WF5F, 100 feet long. A welded loop at each end makes it quick to attach backing and a leader, and the braided multifilament core stays free of coil memory. It suits trout and panfish anglers who want a simple, easy-to-handle line for a 5-weight rod.
