I purchased my first fly outfit in December 2013 and replaced the line that came on the outfit with some Rio Mainstream almost immediately. I was just cleaning my line and noticed that the casing at the thicker part of the line where the welded loop begins has broken. Through this break in the outer green layer of the line I can see the inner core that looks like dacron or fly backing or whatever. Should I cut the welded loop off and tie a loop in the end of the line or replace the line? I guess I could also fish it as is but the line would act and bend a little differently at the break.
I'm leaning towards just replacing the line and trying out another line product for comparison. Thanks for suggestions.
