What is a good cheap fly line?
I am a beginnner fly angler and I am going to get a Martin Mountain Brook combo. Is the Crystal River Floating line tapered? I am not going to spend 40 bucks on line so please help.
"Good" and "cheap" are mutually exclusive when it comes to fly line. It's like liquor and women -- the good stuff ain't cheap and the cheap stuff ain't good.
Most people consider the $40 fly line the cheap stuff, anyway. But if you really can't swing that much for fly line, you can get some for around $20 (sometimes less) at Walmart. I think Wally's brand is Cortland, which makes a set of inexpensive, no-frills line. Just be warned -- the Walmart stuff is not for heavy use and it will break down pretty quickly when compared to more serious products. I'm sure it's as strong and weighs the same as better line, but the craftsmanship is not excellent and it's made with materials of lower quality. It will crack, quick floating, and grow stiff faster than high-quality line. If you are an occasional angler (once a month or less), then this may not bother you. But if fish a lot, you'll just end up buying more line, which will cost more over time.
Think of it this way: fly line is not an investment. It's an expense. You will end up paying for the hours that you fly fish one way or another -- either you'll buy cheap line periodically or expensive line less often. It's like waders. You can buy a set of cheapo $100 waders every summer or so (cuz they leak faster), or you can buy a set of $300 waders and get three or four years out of them. You spend the same money no matter which route you go.
If you can go along with me on that, then the next thing to consider is performance. When it comes to fly line, you get what you pay for. Better line means better casting. Line that costs $100 won't turn a sloppy caster into a pro, but spending a little more on line might bump up your performance enough to catch an extra fish or two over a day's time. So, if you're going to end up paying the same money for line, why not get the good stuff and get better performance, rather than the cheap stuff, which has poorer performance?
