SA ultra 4 $47.00 or Rio Gold $65.00? both in wf floating 4 & 6 Weight

Thanks

I have that Rio Gold in a #6 and don't like it at all. It would be a great dry fly presentation line but I didn't like the way it loaded the rod for nymphing or streamer fishing. Very supple line though, and many people really like it.

 

I'll sell you a used once Rio Gold line for $50 if you'd prefer.

What type of fishing are you planning on doing? I haven't tried out the Gold yet, but I do have favour for most other RIO lines like the Selective Trout and the Nymph lines.

I'm w/ rusty, i have a Rio Gold as well, and its an odd line..don't like the taper on it at all

The 4 would be for dry's the 6 would be for streamers or lake fishing

May I suggest the Triangle Taper fly line from Wulff product. I have been using

these lines for about 20 years and I think they are one of the best lines around.

You can buy a TT-6-F at Wholesale for $46.99. Great line !

Any comments on the SA ultra 4?

[maxwell]

i liked the rio gold and will agree with what others said... its a weird line thats forsure... might toss better on my 6wt if i put a 7wt line.... really lightweight with a slight even taper.. the rio grande is a great line tho!... best part was the 2 toned head on teh gold so u know were too stop feeding out line and start shooting the head... i would stick with the ultra 4... have used it in teh past and had no problems with it at all... better yet i love my aircel! still on most of my sticks

i have only really used it for nymphing. but so far i like it alot!

deffinattly no complaints

Don't be scared to try some cheap SA Air Cel line... The WF line casts like a dream...Bout 23 bucks...I'm sold...Never again am I spendin big money on lines...
