Price Paid:  $25.00 at Cabela''s... duh!

Body of Water:
Lakes and Streams

Favorite State:
Colorado

Summary:
I fished lakes and streams with a WF 5wt on various 5 wt rods. For
the price, this is a very very good line and fantastic to start out with!
The higher priced lines I have tried aren't really much better than this
line, and for the money, this may be a best value line.
My overall rating would be 4.5

Strengths:
Very supple line with very little memory
Casts well long and short distances and in moderate winds
Cast well on a number of different rods
PRICE, mine came as part of a combo package.
Did I mention PRICE!

Weaknesses:
Didn't float as high on the water as some
of the other lines I have used. Line prep
after the first year seemed to keep it
performing like new.

Customer Service:
Cabela''s has been no problems in the 5+ years I have dealt with them.

Summary:
excellent for the money and for the beginner with the points listed above, for themoney you cant beat it. Obviously it is not the caliber of the SA GPX or similar lines, but given the company and their reputation and lines attributes it is one of the best values on the market

Strengths:
for the beginner this line is great, it casts well, has leader loops on it, and with a multi color to it gives the beginner casterthe ability to quickly judge how much line is out

Weaknesses:
None

Customer Service:
fabulous that is where they got their name
