Fly fishing lines are mainly divided into the following types:
WF (Weight Forward) Weight forward line: The weight of this line is concentrated at the front end, which is suitable for fighting against crosswinds and fishing against the wind. It has strong casting ability and is suitable for long-distance casting and crosswind environments.
DT (Double Taper) Double tapered line: The two ends of the line gradually narrow, which is suitable for medium and short-distance casting, especially for the use of Roll Cast.
Level Line: The line diameter of the entire line is the same, with good linearity, suitable for close-range use, but weak long-distance casting ability.
Shooting Head launch head line: Designed for long-distance casting, divided into SKAGIT and SCANDI, SKAGIT is suitable for small space long-distance casting, while SCANDI is suitable for larger casting space.
Sinking Line full sinking line: Suitable for waters that need to sink to the bottom, divided into multiple levels according to the sinking speed.
Sinking Tip Front Sinking Line: The front part sinks in water, suitable for use in seawater and freshwater environments.
