$30 at MRFC - this is a good deal for a very nice line that zips through the guides
http://www.mrfc.com/MadisonRiverShopping/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=4 check p. 2 if you check on to p.4, they also have Rio Selective Trout DT for $40 - this is another great line.

Have you fished this line Ron? I like the idea of the $30 line, but have not heard good or bad on it.

I got one and made reference to the MRFC sale too. I fished it once and liked it... It's been too cold to fish ANYTHING since. I'm a big fan of Airflo
lines. The one thing that stood out in my mind (asides from the ridges) is it's a fair bit thinner than the older Airflo lines I've fished.

Other than their solid-extrusion slime line (intermediate sinker) I have never liked any other airflo line until the ridge line. The Rio Selective Trout and
Airflo Ridgeline are both very nice lines. I prefer the DTs, but sometimes you have to go with WF just for spool capacity - you can't put a 3-1/2" MW
reel on every rod that needs a 6-wt.
The WF ridge lines have an extremely small running line, which keeps them small on the spool. The DT Ridgelines are larger than either the Selective Trout or H&H (Peach). The new DT tapers, both in Airflo and Rio (selective trout) are almost like a double WF these days. They have a front taper and belly (on each end) with a back taper and thinner line in the center. I have bought each of these lines at retail and like them very much. They float high, they're very thin (except for the Ridgeline DT - but it's still a great line). The Ridgelines go through the guides like a mag-lev bullet train.
