{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fly line conspiracy uncovered -- quick note

I submit this picture to you:




See all that skinny running line to the right?  If you analyze it a bit, you notice that "running line" is actually a buzzword for "cost savings"!  Selling you a WF line with less material for the same price as a DT or level line!  The extra plastic is filling their pockets!

The molded "casting bump" on some WF lines?  Extrusion defects.   "SA Mastery Sharkskin/Textured" lines?  A graduate student was in charge of the finishing on one production run and graduate students are cheaper to employ!  

Using the new terminology, a shooting head is roughly "30' of heavy head looped to 70' of cost savings".  

Gene ("DT >> WF")
