Quick take

Double taper floating fly line with aggressive front taper for dry flies and emergers.

This floating double taper fly line suits anglers who fish dry flies and emergers and want a gentle presentation at the front of the cast. It comes on a 100-foot length in the DT4F size, with a floating PVC coating over a braided core and welded loops on both ends. The fluorescent yellow finish and the freshwater and saltwater use make it a fit for trout, bass and other surface fly work.

Best for

  • Dry fly fishing
  • Gentle presentations
  • Roll casting

Skip if

  • You fish predominantly nymphs
  • You need a weight-forward line for distance

Strengths

  • Double taper allows line to float high
  • Aggressive front taper loads rods smoothly
  • PVC coating provides durability
  • Visible colors aid casting accuracy

Trade-offs

  • Double taper sacrifices distance compared to weight-forward
  • Thicker coating can collect dirt
  • Heavier construction than modern synthetics
