Time for me to get a new 5 weight fly line.
I've been using Airflo Ridge for about the last 10 years now. And like them.
But am considering trying one of these shark skin, wave or whatever lines. Orvis even has one called hydros.
Have read reviews about how well they cast.
But also some negative points:
They're noisy going through the guides.
You can cut you fingers if you're not careful.
They wear out fast.
Another thing I wonder about - seems to me that all that texture would hold a lot of dirt. And probably be rather tough to clean.
Any thoughts?
