Rio Pocket water line

I am building a Dan Craft 6'10 one wt. I have been advised that a Rio Pocket water line is a great line for that rod but that they have stopped making it. .... but that some folks still have some of it on inventory. Any thoughts on where I could still find it or suggestions as to other good lines for this rod would be appreciated. I will be using it for bluegill and panfish more than for trout. Thanks

Steve--Sierra Trading Post has a few left last I checked...and at 50% off to boot! :) Cortland Clear Creek is a similar concept in terms of loading the rod better at shorter distances, and is still readily available. I have a number of both of these lines and can't pick a favorite--they're both excellent.

If you can't find a 1 wt line you might think about a Cortland 2 wt Sylk line. They are smaller in diameter and a lot softer than a normal line. I have a 3 wt Sylk on my Dan Craft Sig III 8 ft 2 wt and it is great. Golden Witch a sponsor on the left has them and you can read what they have to say on their website.
