Maxcatch Trout Fly Fishing Line; Weight Forward, Floating Fly Line (1F/2F/3F/4F/5F/6F/7F/8F/9F/10F)

This weight forward floating fly line delivers accuracy at any distance. Our exclusive high-tech coating makes this line both buoyant and durable. The innovative weight forward taper makes the line ideal for using at a close to medium range. The braided core ensures excellent performance regardless of environmental condition.

• SPECIAL DESIGN - Exergy fly fishing lines are high performance, weight forward, floating lines that deliver long, effortless casts and easy line turnover because of our unique belly design, short front taper and long running line. The lines float exceptionally high in the water and make line control easy.
• PERFORMANCE - Each Exergy fly fishing line is made with a braided, memory free core and uses our silky smooth, KastKote finish that improves performance, casting distance and keeps the line floating high in the water for better fly presentations.
• DOUBLE MICRO LOOPS - All Exergy fly fishing lines include double welded micro loops on both the front and back of the line that make attaching backing and leaders quick and easy. Because of the small diameter of these loops, connections slide easily through the guides without hesitation that can be the cause of lost fish.

• BIOSPOOL - KastKing has always been a Green Company that has fostered environmental sustainability. To meet that expectation, all KastKing fly fishing lines are spooled on our award winning, biodegradable BioSpool, which is made from wheat straw and unlike plastic spools, will decompose naturally to reduce landfill bulk.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have welded loops on both ends
Answer:	Yes, the F at the end of the WF5F means floating.
Question:	What weight line
Answer:	80ft / 24 m
Question:	Looking at purchasing for a 5wt rod fishing mostly streamers. If the line is thinner than advertised would I be better off getting the 6 or 7wt
Answer:	Yes there is.
Question:	I ordered a floating wf6 line and am sure thats what I got, but no where on the box or the line spool does it state a floating line. How can I be sure
Answer:	If you are fishing for anything that can strip line into your backing you will be retrieving/letting out line via the reel. Backing is not very abrasive but any line moving at high speed can burn/cut bare skin. Gloves are always a good choice when chasing big game fish

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the head/body heavy enough to load the rod fast with big flies or is this more of a delicate presentation line
Answer:	Good question. To be honest I couldnt tell you but the way I see it is braided backing is used to build a larger arbor on your fly reel and used as an emergency line if you catch a larger fish than your target species. Braided mainline is a lot thinner and is designed to flow through the rod guides with ease where as braided backing is thicker and not designed to be cast. ie a spinning reel. Hope this helps. Piscifun,Kastking and Reaction Tackle all offer braided lines at an exceptional price!
Question:	Is there loops on both sides? I saw reviews about it having 2 loops and reviews about them having none, I ordered the spring green in wt
Answer:	Yes, 300yd will be good for it.
Question:	is there a 6 wt sinking option
Answer:	its braided just like backing line for a fly reel. I bought it to go around black sipping straws that make slipknots to adjust floating bobbers. They sell these knots in the fishing stores but cost quite a bit and I watched a video youtube showing how to tie these knots onto the straws so you can slip them up your line and adjust the depth of your hook below your bobber. Braided mono no, but you could make leaders out of them they are like braided dacron. Backing of the fly reel is first to go on and then connecting the main floating/sinking/weight forward fly line above the braided dacron. If you only used fly line and had a big fish on you would run out of line fast or have to pay allot of money for a fly line 2/3 times as long to catch the fish - the backing line allows you to fight the fish past the special fly line needed to catch the fish.
Question:	Do you need backing like with this line
Answer:	These are weight forward floating fly lines.

User questions & answers

Question:	Novice question. Why twenty pound test
Answer:	no
Question:	When you attach backing on a fly reel do you start in the middle or side
Answer:	Backing is for when a fish "runs" with your fly. There is not much that is more frustrating than to have finally hooked that huge fish that has been taunting you all day, but then when he runs away you run out of line and the leader snaps when it reaches the limit of your fly line. Backing will add extra length, plus it is easier to tie onto a reel than fly line.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many feet does the 8wt spool have
Answer:	You can use any backing you want but if you do not know what you are going to use the reel to fish for then you would be smart to use a good backing in case you are going to want o go for more than a hatchery raised trout. The 20 pound test only takes up slightly more than the 10 pound . Use what you want you probely will not ever use it.
Question:	Will this fly line in wf7 work well for redfish on my 7 weight rod
Answer:	I'm just a beginner, but I start in the middle, don't know if it's right, but that is where I start. With tension on the spool of backing I use my forefinger to move backing back and forth so it doesn't bunch up on one side or the other. A lot of shops will spool your reel for free if you buy the backing and fly line thru them.
Question:	Is this a good line for streamers
Answer:	That depends on the line weight (based on the weight in grams of the front 30 feet of line - that's how fly line numbers are determined). The heavier the line (front 30 feet) the bigger the number for the ine ... and the bigger that number the heavier weight of fly rod it takes to properly cast it ... AND, the heavier the fly line the bigger or heavier the flies it can cast. All of this is basic fly fishing 101 stuff. So a WF9F in this line should work well with a 9 weight fly rod casting big streamers or poppers.
Question:	looking for 5/6 wt. salt water fly line but cant find it for this price ,what do you think about putting this 7wt. line on my 5/6 wt.reel rod
Answer:	I've bought 5 wt and 4 wt and both had loops on both sides. I cut em off and tie my own knots

User questions & answers

Question:	Are the yellow and orange lines colorfast? The last orange backing I bought bled and stained my flyline
Answer:	Fly line is 100ft. A spool can hold up to 200 yards of backing
Question:	Is it floating line
Answer:	Fly lines are made to match the action of the rod. A seven weight rod will work well with a seven weight line . Your Rio Mainstream WF7 is a fine line for any fish. The critical issue is the leader material and the knots you tie. Those will give way long before any problems with the line. What really counts on the Red Fish you catch is whether you have enough rod to handle a large fish, of any kind.
Question:	what are the diameters (in mm) for each one
Answer:	No, this line is better for all around saltwater use.
Question:	I have 5wt line. Which backing should i get? (20lb or 30lb
Answer:	It depends on the weight and action of your rod. It's fairly common to up the weight of line by one level, but jumping 2 levels could unbalance your rod enough to make casting more difficult. But secondly, putting a 7# line on a 5/6# reel, you may have to decrease the amount of backing. In salt water fishing, you never know what will bite your fly, and if it's a biggie, you may wish you had more backing. When fishing with poppers on a 8# rod/reel, I hooked into a pompano that took me into my backing twice. I don't think your 5# would cut that. I would keep shopping.
