Summary:
I bought this line at the Flaming Gorge Lodge (recommended by their fly shop personel) the day before my first guided trip down the Green River. I can't understate what a complete disapointment this line was. It was as if the line line was coated with gravel; very rough through my guides, even after cleaning it thouroughly with GLIDE line cleaner. Casting with it was a chore, and greatly detracted from an otherwise great day of fishing. A complete waste of money. FYI, it was a 5 weight line, WF, Floating, used on an RPL+ 9' 4-piece, 5wt, so I figured the line would pair up nicely with my Sage rod. It didn't. Most people seem to like this line; perhaps I just got a bad specimen, I don't know, which is why I didn't rate it a "1" for value and overall. But I'll stick with SA Ultra lines from now on.

Customer Service:
Haven't tried yet. Probably won't bother, I'll just stick with SA Ultra, which I've had very good luck with thus far.

Similar Products Used:
With this same rod, SA Ultra 3 and Rio Classic. Rio Classic was far superior to the Sage line, and it cost only $20.

Summary:
Casting this line in WF 2wt version on my very slow Hardy Perfection Glass rod. It casts nicely and is supple like SA Ultra 3 line. Unfortunately, it does not float nearly as well as the SA line.

Quiet Taper Line

Summary:
I don't own this line but I've used it on a Sage demo rod. It seems very slim and throws tight loops. Smooth easy casting line. I tried the 3wt. model.
