2 Wt Line Recommendations

[Lundvike]

Ok I a tried searching, really I did, but apparently 2 wt is too short. So I bought a 2wt TFO Finesse rod at the sportsmen show because of the smoking deal I got. I was wondering if anyone might recommend a 2 wt line? I would like a floating WF or DT.

A DT would probably suit you well I think as it is unlikely you need great distance but a delicate presentation and the added bonus of being able to reverse ends if one side becomes damaged in some way is a plus too.

depends what you're using it for:

-small creeks...3 wt dt, cut in half (save the other half for later)

-larger creeks, rivers 2 wt dt, cut in half (save the other half for later)

 

get them both to cover all bases and see which suits your rod better.

Lundvike,

 

I use a Cortland 444 DT2F. Works just fine. Two weight gets used about 3>5 days a year for tiny cuts in even smaller streams.

As Bloom says, the rod may function better for you with a slightly heavier fly line. See if you can borrow a 2, 3 & 4 weight and give it a go. Pick what suits you.

 

catch ya'

im rocking to TFO 2 WT aswell and i wish i had put a 3wt line on it. I gan get a 40ft cast at best with my 2 wt but i cant seem to load the rod because the line is soo light.

its a 2wt 420 u wont eb tossin many bombs with it.. i like teh rio selective trout on my 2wt...... double taper

im just finding that it cant make it that last few feet to some of the water i use it on. Would a larger "X" leader add the extra little bit of weight to the set up?

[maxwell]

no but a 4wt would do the job or try shooting your line rather than casting teh head......

One of the nicest 2 wt lines on the world scene is Snowbee's Delicate presentation line...this line has a short front taper(16') , a fairly short belly(16') and a very long rear taper(43)...making accurate casts very fun and bang on... delivering small drys and nymphs has never been so easy.If anyone saw this line at last months show being cast on the pond...it was being cast on a 3 wt. 7' rod delivering bullet sized loops that always rolled out and met the target. What I really like about this line is that it always rolls out perfectly...and thats because of the rear taper.

It does come in a 2wt to 6 wt.
