I don't really like any of the wulff lines. For some of my slower rods I like 406 WF lines, I tried them out after munsey recommended the 4wt for a leonard letort taper he built me. I now use them on my 2 simroes rods. I like the SA mastery Dt possibly more than the 444s. I have a 5 being shipped now to compare. I like the sylk 444s. I did not like the mastery trout SA line.

I've been using Lee Wulff Triangle-Taper Floating Lines for quite a while and am really happy with them.....
I understand a their new product is Triangle-Taper-PLUS.....which is a half line size heavier I guess, but haven't tried.
