SF Fly Fishing Line Weight Forward Floating Fly Line for Fly Fishing 3wt 4wt 5wt 6wt 7wt 8wt 100ft Double Welded Loops

Bought a 6 and 7 wt line. Used 6 wt on day. The first impression was suppleness. Excellent. Secondly a mild day and line had little if no obvious memory. Casted extremely well achieving a distance beyond expectation at times into a variable breeze. For a budget line thought was superb value for money. Line end welded loops always useful. Time will tell how long the line will be usable but my initial view is equals if not betters some well known mainstream named lies that cost3 or 4 times more. 5 stars so far.

Quality is excellent. Gave it a gentle stretch and a quick cast. Casts well. Little to no memory. If you told me this was a premium £60-£80 fly line I would be none the wiser. Can’t comment on durability yet but I have confidence it will be fine. Came on a nice big spool so was easy to transfer to reel. Can’t go wrong.

So this line isn't perfect, but for the price is shockingly good! I would normally go for a more well-known product, but to be honest I really wanted a fly line in orange, because it's great for visibility - but so glad I ordered from this lesser known manufacturer. So here's my observations: PROS Incredibly supple. I always stretch my lines, but to be honest this didn't need it. And been using it a few weeks and it stays supple. It's the most supple line I've come across, zero memory, and remains limp and loose like well-cooked spaghetti! Perhaps it's the suppleness, or perhaps my use of a WF4 on a short rod for the river?, but either way the line seems to be great for delicate presentation. I love the way it casts. Very affordable. I'm exploring different line weights so planning to grab a few more of these in WF5 and WF 6. The lines floats really well, very visible, and stays straight on the water's sufrace (no memory) The line has "WF7F" printed at the ends of the line for easy identification. The line is looped both ends, and the loops are very fine, making sure the line loops don't interfere (much anyway) with the dynamics of casting. CONS I did notice after just one session of casting in garden when I first got it, that there are some cracks appearing at the tip of the line. I was concerned this would develop and cause problems, but to be fair I've used it many times fishing and in graden over a number of weeks and this hasn't developed that I can tell or caused issues. I get the sense the coating may be quite soft compared say to a harder Airflo Polyurethane line. This isn't enough to put me off buying again, quite the opposite - but I have reduced it by one star due to this. Also note the line has continued to float at the tip regardless of minor cracking. The line is on a plastic spool and the reel end is conveniently marked but I ended up in a tangle when loading my reel and had to spend a lot of time untangling the line. To be fair this has happened to me with other spooled lines including Airflo, so it's not just this company, and at least they spooled it. All in all I love this line. It's my current favourite and will definitely be back for more!

This is a great product for the price, already used it and had a lovely fish.

Beautiful, looks class in the reel, easy to fit and rolls out lovely, nice feel to it, high quality.

I’ve used this for two seasons. Performs well. Virtually no line memory. When needed will check out their other lines.

It’s great for the price it’s not the best fly line I have but between it and my hundred pound line not a huge difference definitely but again

Bought this line just to give a try i normally go for expensive fly lines and to my surprise what an excellent line very pleased i would recommend this unbelievable priced quality fly line 10 out of 10 from me memory of line very good very easy to cast all in all great line

Shipping on time and great deals and items! Thanks.

Have not used line yet but has the ‘dry’ characters of more expensive lines.

Overall it looks really nice, I'm new this year to fly fishing, so I have been very methodical about upgrading my equipment. As everyone knows, there is a price point that we are all comfortable with, and while I am sure there is much nicer and more expensive fly line than this, it is perfect for me to really get a feel for the fun of fly fishing. Shipping took a while longer than I had hoped, but China is a long way from Seattle, and I am SURE part of the trip must have been made on horseback. But it's here, it's loaded onto my backing, and I am ready to go out tomorrow to give it a try. One thing tho, is that I have read that some people have trouble unspooling it, and this CAN happen, it arrived wrapped on the spool rather loosely, which is fine with a little heads up. Just be careful and patient. My suggestion is that if you don't have all the fancy equipment to load it - just run a pencil through the middle of it and gently unspool it all - it's only 100 feet, and then loosely back stack it, and then tie it to your backing and wind it on. Just takes a couple minutes, and this will avoid a big rats nest of new fly line. It also came with the welded loops on both ends, I read in some reviews that theirs didn't, but mind did, a nice added bonus for someone like me who still has to resort to youtube for line tying knots. But now that I am all loaded up, I should be good to go! Overall aside from the snails pace delivery, which isn't really the sellers fault, and they DID respond promptly when I asked if it would be arriving soon, I am as pleased as can be, having not actually used it just yet, but it is 30 times better than the line I inherited and went fly fishing with the first few times. So I would say that at this price point - just like the new reel I bough last week, it looks really nice. I will attach a follow up after using it if I change my mind, but I am confident that I will be pleased with this fly line until I know more and decide to really soak some money into the hobby. But being I'm all about catch and release, this will be fine. I now have what I consider a really nice set-up for under $100 - my Fishing in the Fly fly reel was about $40, my Rio Dacron backing was $12, this line at $20 and I scored on a nice used fly rod at $20 - and some flies from here and there, and BAM, time to load the kayak and see what's lurking out there! WOOOHOOO - Fish On!

I was a bit disappointed in the packaging but that doesn't make this product any less. I have yet to spool it as "other" duties have pre-empted my Trout fishing trips of late. It looks to be a quality line and is very supple which I think will help in a "no memory" line. Can only give 3 Stars until I actually get some stream time

This fly line performs as described and is very enjoyable to use while fishing .. and in my opinion is an excellent Value.
