Being a competitor on the Troutlegend Tour, I came across this startup company out of England that made super thin lines for competing nymphing. A few of the guys I competed against had gotten their hands on their Championship Nymphing Line. After hearing how well it worked I had to get one.
When I got it in the mail I couldn't believe how thin it was,about the size of 20 lb mono. With its mono core it was difficult to attach a leader to but there were instructions on how to do this in the package and on their website.
The first thing I noticed when I began fishing with it was how easily it casted. Paired with my Syndicate Fly Fishing 10' 3wt, it was remarkable that a line this thin would cast so easily. The line has a slight texture to it that keeps it for sliding back down the guides when the rod tip is elivated. The thinness of it makes it super sensitive, almost like using a very long leader. It also allows for a shortened leader to sighter giving better control and feel while casting. This being said I thought it was a great line for my application. I wasn't completely sold until I fished the Troutlegend Cup in Blueridge, GA. The Toccoa River has big deep holes that sometimes will not let you get in a good position to fish a run. So I pulled some line off the reel and cast to a run that was 30 ft away. Even at that distance I could feel the bottom and fish strikes. By the end of my session I was fishing 45 plus feet away and staying in contact with my fly.
This line if truly cutting edge and will up the game of any competitive or recreational nympher.
