Choosing Fly Line 

Start with the rod and fishing job. Match the appropriate line class to your setup, then consider the flies and rigs you need to cast, the water you fish and the presentation you need to make. 

Taper and mass distribution affect how a line casts and turns over different rigs, while density affects where the line fishes in the water column. The line-weight label is a starting point—not the entire decision.

Not Sure Which Fly Line You Need? 

Choose your line around the rod, flies, rigs and fishing job rather than the label alone.
