Questions & Answers
There were no welded factory loops on either end of the WF 7WT sinking tip line when I received it. I created a perfection loop and added a 30 mono length to it.
It looks like a camouflage line, with all the colors ranging from light to dark.
I've used Teeny lines before, and this isn't one of them. It has a much slower sink rate and much less weight, so I'd call it a gentle/shorter sinking line. I used it this past weekend on the fast-flowing Au Sable River in Michigan. I think I could have used a little more weight, but I caught a couple of nice Rainbows subsurface with weighted streamers in fast water, and the line performed admirably. This is more of a light sinking line with a lot of control than a fast sinking line. I'm going to Montana with it. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. br>Bob J. is a writer who lives in the United States.
It's about 4-inches long, according to me. 5 inches per second

A area. This appears to sink at a 3 ips per second rate. I was hoping for a little more in the 4-pack. The range is 6 ips. Apart from that, the line is silky smooth, and it casts my woolly buggers and sculpzilla patterns with ease in the 5wt. I got the line tangled up as I was putting it on my spool, but with a little patience and persistence (necessary traits for all anglers), I was able to get it on. With my 5wt Redington, the line casts beautifully. The loops are attractive, and I can easily grip it, giving me excellent line control. The quality of the fly box appears to be excellent. It's ideal because my fly count just went up last week.

I got a 4wt floating and a 6wt intermediate, and they both feel great. Welded loops appear to be of good quality, the butt end is clearly labeled, and the line feels very slick and supple. I haven't thrown them yet, but first impressions are good. I have a 6wt reel with SA Amplitude Trout, which is fairly expensive, and the quality appears to be comparable so far. br>br>They even include a cute fly box! It's difficult to make a mistake in that situation. br>br>My only complaint was that when I tried to spool it, it became extremely tangled. I checked my email after fighting with it and finally getting it spooled, and there were instructions from BFW. Duh. br>br>All right, let's get started. If I had a complaint, which I don't, it would be that the instructions should come with the line so excited man-made. Children, like a greedy child on Christmas morning, muck it all up in the winter. br>br>Aside from that, a big thank you!.
Within 20 minutes, it had completely lost its slickness and shootability. My line weight was off, and I couldn't even load my 7wt. As advertised, the sink rate was good. Even after a thorough cleaning, the problem persists. Unfortunately, I'm hoping it was just a bad batch because the company is well-known.
I was hesitant to buy what appeared to be a good deal on a fly-fishing rod. I was hesitant to give them a chance because I believe you get what you pay for most of the time, but I decided to give it a shot. When I contacted Bozeman, there was a delivery snafu (due to USPS), and They were quick in their response. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with them. I'm blown away by how well the line loads and shoots my rod. I'm going to see what other products they have that I might require.
Adding a sinking leader to the fly to help it sink deeper.
My 8wt arrived in green with a black tip, not multicolored, and appears to be of good quality; I'll put it to the test on some Spring Steelhead and report back; the fly box was a pleasant surprise!.
However, while the fly box was great, the fly line stinks. I bought an 8wt sink tip, but the problem is that it doesn't sink. I tested the line three times just to be sure, and it doesn't sink in the least. I did get a nice fly box out of the deal, but I'll have to replace the line; I sent the company an email, but they never replied. It's a real pity!.
