I do not know about you guys, but knowing what line to use at times becomes very difficult for me.\u00a0\u00a0 The standard single handed 9\u2019 rod is pretty easy to understand.\u00a0 I tend to recommend going up a line when you are a novice caster as the extra weight allows you to feel the tug in the back cast. \u00a0\u00a0Then we have the switch and Spey rods which also have their variations depending on whether you are using a standard floating. sinking \u00a0or Spey lines. \u00a0\u00a0This is where it can get very complicated.\u00a0 Floating, Sinking, Nymphing, Skagit, Scandia and Short Scandia not to mention lines that come in rod line weight and also grains.\u00a0 Choosing a line can be overwhelming.\u00a0 Even those who are very knowledgeable can have difficulty in knowing what line to use. There are so many exceptions it is impossible to know them all.\u00a0 You would think a 5wt 9\u2019 single handle rod would use the same line as a 5wt 11\u2019 Switch rod.\u00a0 No, the extra length of the rod requires that you go up 2 or 3wts . As I said very complicated.<\/p>\n

I recently discovered that Rio has an on line \u00a0\u201cFly Line Selector\u201d http:\/\/www.rioproducts.com\/fly-line-selector\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 You can even get a smart phone application for this selector.\u00a0 Thank heavens.\u00a0 I have just started using this site so I am not familiar with the sites and how well it works.\u00a0 My guess is that it is very good.\u00a0\u00a0 I\u00a0 do think it is worth the time to look at when you are considering buying a line.\u00a0 I have always used Rio lines and highly recommend them<\/p>\n

There are some other helpful hints like cleaning and storing a line on this site.\u00a0 Check it out.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps all of you,<\/p>\n
