Hi,
I'm interested in Triangle Taper lines, but I am wondering about the line designation... If I want to use a TT on a rod that works well with a WF8, what number should I choose; TT7 or TT8 ??
I found an article on the Net, according to which I should use a TT7 (if I draw the whole length of head); here it is:
Whereas most weight forward lines have a variable taper head, the Lee Wulff Triangle Taper line has a continuous taper from the tip of the line to the end of the head, at 40 feet, and a very short back taper to the running line. The lines used to have a double line rating ie TT5/6F but now have a single line rating. this means that if you are using a TT5F, if you aerialise 30 feet of the line it will perform as a 5#, but if you aerialise the full 40 foot head, it will perform as a 6#
What do you think of it?
