Hello everyone, I am curious if anyone can tell me about Aquanova brand fly lines? Any and all oppinions are greatly appreciated. In addition I am going to be needing a line for a Pac Bay tradition 8'6" 5 weight. If anyone has any oppinions on a line that works extremely well with this blank please let me know. Cheers, Jeff Re: Aquanova fly lines

Aquanova flylines: just on a lark I tried it because it was so cheap. I was dis-appointed. My verdict: doesn't "shoot" as well as others, doesn't float as high and doesn't hold up as well. Seems to attract dirt and grime like a magnet. That was all for me. I went back to using what I normally use: S.A. GPX. IMO, S.A. GPX would work well with your Pac Bay. Re: Aquanova fly lines

Paul, I guess the old saying, "you get what you pay for", applys here. I hope that you were at least able to get you money's worth out of it. Thanks for the heads up on them, 'cause I've been tempted myself. As for what I usually use? Jeff, Cortland lines have always served me well. Tight Lines, Tim Re: Aquanova fly lines

Jeff, I use an Airflo polyfuse 7000 WF5 and it fits the 8'6" 5 wt 2 pc Tradition perfectly for trout fishing. Thanks, Rick Re: Aquanova fly lines

Cheap! too soft, poor coating (collects dirt easily) and not slick enough to shoot well. In a years time, you'd probably go thru 4 of them. For the same cost as 4 or 5 Aquanovas, go get SA's GPX, GPS or Trout line. FAR BETTER! RB Re: Aquanova fly lines

may absolute favorite line is a "rio grande" four wt. this line is slick and shoots like a sun of a gun. seems to work well with rods slow or fast. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
