I bought a rod when I was first gearing up to fly fish and could not find a line it liked, gave up until I learned of this line. Tried it and wow am I glad I did because it really slings streamers. The rod is a moonshine drifter2 in 6wt and this line brought the best out of a rod I once thought disposable and now do not leave without. The floating section is really great to lift, it sinks right down, I have not had to cut any of the tip off as others have stated but I am hesitant to try.
