Line For Loop Aeg Rod

[fishpro]

Anyone have any suggestions on a good line for my 5wt Loop AEG rod? I'm currently just using a Rio mainstream on it and sometimes it's good, but other times it's difficult to cast into the wind. What are you all using?

Rio Gold, it has a more aggressive taper then the mainstreams.... I've used both and the Gold is far better. The gold will cast indy rigs a lot easier into our wind.

Another vote for the Rio Gold. It's perfect on mine.

I've tried a few different lines with mine and I go back and forth between the Rio Mainstream for longer casts and an Orvis 6wt DT for up close work and nymphing. I was going to try the Rio Gold but I got a sweet deal on the Orvis.

 

I also have a Rio Nymph / indicator line that I really don't care for on that rod, it doesn't seem to load quite right for some reason.

Rio gold, wt6. is what I use.
