Never f* mind... just got of the phone with them. Full lines are no more available... very sad day for me as I wanted one to do all line.
Sounds like a cost-cutting measure. I like this company and want them to stay in business No love on ebay or craigslist for full lines? I'm about to pick up a FF45 7/8 570 grain 'head'.
Thankfully, I rather like nylon running lines for 2-handers whereas decades ago I became frustrated with having to constantly change nylon running lines on single-hand shooting head systems and drifted to almost exclusively using coated core running lines. Still loop-to-loop though.
Though I must admit, I don't understand why all the bother to customize the FF45 for sinking tips. Your rods are presumably long enough to aerialize 15 foots tips with no difficulty. Or you do as I do with my 12 1/2 foot Sage TCX and reach into the butt for the power to launch tips longer than the rod, e.g., 14' and 15'?
These days one can easily cut tips at desired length and chosen weight. Why 10' or 15' when just over 13'4" might dial it in?
In terms of fine-tuning the drift: the angle of the presentation, and mending choices along with rod position and the potential to strip provide the angler flexibility that could never be covered by tip lengths choices alone.
Or maybe there is something to keeping tip systems to a maximum length that I am missing?
I like the idea of chopping up expensive lines though. Besides nobody has flow cred until they have chopped up a fly line that cost over $100! :smokin:
Moreover, the buds in the business want y'all to buy more lines, not fewer lines.
