Thread: New fly line

I have a 6 weight floating Rio Gold that I am happy to give you for free. It is a line I have used and has a few years under its belt. I think the tip may sink a little but otherwise is in OK condition. The Gold taper is nice for most rod actions and would be good to practice with at least. I think the Back Packer is a short 6 weight?
As far as casting help goes try your local clubs. Most have casting clinic days and there are usually guys willing to help. Im like a lot here. Fished since I was a nipper but still could do with assistance for better casting.
Solid brands for lines are Rio, Scientific Anglers and Airflo. A lot of current lines are quite aggressive tapers with +0.5 weights and may not suit a slower action rods.
I may also have a near new 5 weight Rio Mainstream floater up for grabs too.
