fishinweed Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Looking for a 6wt nymph line. I've used rio gold the past few seasons and love it but I'm looking to try something new. What are you casting? Quote
Roast Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I am by no means a pro, but I picked up a rio indicator. Noticed that it opened up my loops a bit and does a good job turning over a rig with some weight. Like you I really like the rio gold and have it on my 4 and 5 wt, but have liked how the rio indictor is working on my 6wt. Another line that has piqued my interest is The barrio slx. It looks like fun: Quote
Jayhad Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 as said Rio Indicator.. I love the indicator, i find that taper really favours big roll casts and single hand spey casts. I have the indicator on my boat nymph rods Quote
fishinweed Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 i can only dream of casting that well. nice vid. never heard of barrio, have you used their line? heard good things about rio indicator Quote
Roast Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I believe that barrio is out of the uk. I have never used one and came across it on a forum. The line got very good reviews however the slx seems more biased to single spey. They range in price from $35 to $55 dollars inc shipping. They might only be available online, just google Barrio. As I said, I went with the rio indicator, but the slx is a bit cheaper... Quote
Guest Grinr Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 6lb Berkley XL with Thill bobber taper. :0 Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 6lb Berkley XL with Thill bobber taper. :0 somehow I knew as soon as I read the title, it'd be you to say that. Thanks for the chuckle LOL I used SA Mastery for years, double taper for the Bow is good when one side gets a bit worn you can do the turn and burn and wear out the other end. Quote
