What floating fly line are all the cool kids using these days? Need to pick up a new one for my 9' 5wt setup, and haven't shopped em for about 4 years now. Looking for a decent WF 5wt primarily dry fly use floating line.
Free imaginary points if you can tell me why you think it's the best.

What floating fly line are all the cool kids using these days? Need to pick up a new one for my 9' 5wt setup, and haven't shopped em for about 4 years now. Looking for a decent WF 5wt primarily dry fly use floating line. Free imaginary points if you can tell me why you think it's the best. The one I use on my new 5wt is Scientific Anglers Amplitude Infinity. It is the textured line. Shoots better and farther than any line I’ve ever used. I like that it doesn’t feel too stretchy for the hook sets and such. I have noticed you gotta clean it regularly to keep it floating well, but line management is nice with it. It does well with good size buggers to small dries. I love the line. Close runner up would be the Rio Elite Gold that’s not textured. Great if you don’t wanna listen to the line, but the last foot or so is textured to help keep it afloat. You could put the line through hell and not clean it and seems to float good. Definitely has more stretch than the SA and I don’t get as much speed or distance out of it. I used that line on my old 5wt. and it served me well and still use it on my 3wt. because it’s great for real tight and delicate presentations. Please let me know how many imaginary points this gives me. |

406 fly lines are getting a lot of love around some of the forums. Haven't tried one myself but my son loves his WF5 on his Scott G 8'8 5 wt.
