I'm looking to replace the line on my 9' 5wt x-axis and a shop recommended going with a 6wt Wf hardy horizon line. 

Does anyone have any experience with this line?

Personally I've never heard of it but he swears by it. 

I'm replacing the current SA GPX 5wt Wf 

Thanks Wayne

Yeah I made that mistake once when a shop swore that a Loop Line was the best line ever! .  Turned out to be the crappiest line ever!!

Go with what you know!!

About 5 yrs ago I picked up on clearance a DT Hardy Marksman 4wt line that I fish and abuse a lot. I finally reversed it on the reel last yr and don't expect I'll need to replace the line until 2020. Quality line, I wouldn't hesitant to buy another Hardy line.

Ask them if they will spool it up for you and let you test cast it a few times.  It might be the best line in the world for the casting style of the shop guy but you might not care so much for it.  Remember one man's gold is another man's garbage.
