I've met a lot of lines I haven't liked. But then again I don't like lines
that can't do anything other than over hand cast, or have to be stripped
all the way in to cast again. But then again I am a picky bugger. I like
the general use lines.
I have found that even in the same weights lines act like totally
different animals and it is not always the rods fault. I have casted rods
that I thought were horrible but when I switch to a different line of the
same weight they improved dramatically.
I have used plenty of intermediates and never found one that delivered
a fly at the surface. It was always just below the surface, which on a lot
of nights makes all the difference in the world, for me it was always the
wrong difference. I bought into the whole you can even fish a popper
on the surface bit with one. After two or three chugs it always went
under. And if you wanted it to sit there for a while; forget about it.
Don't get me wrong sometimes a suspended surface fly is just the
ticket. It just isn't all the time. I have caught lots of fish suspending a
floating bug or fly above a weed line on a hard sinker or just under the
surface by stripping fast. It was always the exception not the rule.
