alhuger Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 Can anyone give me a good suggestion for a single handed floating line that deals well with cold weather? By cold I mean in the -10 +10 sort of range. I am looking to buy it for a 6 weight rod, pretty fast action. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote
walker1 Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 SA GPX Great in all conditions. Low memory and I have fished mine for many winters without problems. Quote

bulltrout Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 my cortland 555 is still kicking after 2 full years of heavy use year round... Quote
ogilvie Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Ask Colin or MAx if they have used the Snowbee Two Colour line this week...that will tell you C Quote
Lawrence Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I've used that snowbee line so far in temps ranging from 0 to -10 and so far no problems! Great line Quote

admin Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 RIO has a few coldwater specific lines like the clouser that works very well for streamers. Quote
Lawrence Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I picked it up at the show, PM Islandguy and he'll be able to hook you up Quote
Glenbow Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Sharkskin is really amazing in below freezing temps. I also like Rio Windcutter a lot. I recon you can't go wrong with either one. I own & fish both & really like both. Quote
CDone Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I picked it up at the show, PM Islandguy and he'll be able to hook you up You can also get in touch with me and I can get some sent out here, I've got a 5wt you can try out if you want. Colin Quote
hydropsyche Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Cortland 444 (never tried 555). Cheap and easy. Absolutely no memory. I fished it in minus 15C. Only worried about eyes icing up, not loops at my feet. Quote
