- We are always looking for something that is better and value for money.
Every thing that we review is an honest review and tried by all levels from novice to professional. We are not obligated to give a good review.
Lines like rods are a subjective choice with just soo many variables to take in. What are your objectives and purpose for that line? Distance, profile, presentation of what types of fly. Are you needing inch perfect on target short range casts on a chalk stream. Or to cover multiple situations from a boat on say Rutland. What is the experience and skill level of the angler. Combine with even slightly different rod actions. Ten different anglers with similar or widely different experience/skills could and would find completely different responses and reactions. Yes a nightmare. Your approach to this problem was right on the money. From a good experience and skill set. Multiple lines on different rods. With multiple anglers. All gave their honest and unbiased opinions. Overall this was one of the best reviews I have ever seen on this platform. I found it a refreshing change from the oh look at me buy this adverts. Just a guy who loves fly fishing with good friends, just enjoying the day by the water. A great way to show everything positive about our beautiful sport.
Hi Michael, its been a while. But very nice to hear from you again. Hope your keeping well. Yes like most things fishing, a lot of if's and buts. To be honest when trying these things its good to have the boys around. No good me doing this on my own, as I cast and fish differently to most. And like you say we are all different. But I think most people will be happy with this line. What is the best line out there. Its the one you are most happy with. Thanks for another amazing comment. Take care Michael. Shaun.
Thanks Shaun, for those of us who know nothing about fly fishing, this is great information. Appreciate the honest review.
Thanks Sean, bit like me watching your channel. Just spent 5 days on a lake fly fishing and one of the boys Sam does a lot of pike fishing. Told him about your channel and about all the jigs you use. Was telling him about the ice fishing you were doing. He would love to do that he said. But we don't get ice like that. Thanks again mate. Catch up soon.Shaun.
Bought one of the floating lines from rede river a couple of months ago. Have used it on three trips , the best one to Ellerdine fishery. I can cast approximately 28 yards at the moment and it shoots out beautifully. Took 7 fish on it at Ellerdine,, I am really impressed. When I need a new line it will definitely be from rede river.
I have no doubt as regards the performance of the Rede River line. It fishes really well too. And at this price I am happy to replace every year. Bare in mind I fish a lot. Sounds like Ellerdine is fishing well. Us boys are looking forward to our next trip there. Thanks for the comment Sam. Every comment helps the channel. Take care mate. Shaun.
Following watching this first time round tried to order the Rede River line, but found they had sold out. Power of UTube !! However wasn’t long before they had some more in and I bought one. Used it a couple of times now and really pleased with it, as it does what you said it does and is half the price I paid for my last line. I have also purchased hooks from this company and they have been very good also. Please keep making the videos as they are really helpful.

Nice one Phil, I am glad you stuck it out to get your line. There are so many good things about this line. Yes it casts well. But it fishes even better. I hope you have many enjoyable fishing trips with this line. Thanks for getting back to us. Take care mate. Shaun.
Hi Shaun
Purchased the floating line was so impressed I have brought both the sink tip and the intermediate both great
Highly recommend
Cheers Nigel
Thanks Nigel, appreciate the business.
Purchased a Rede line from your honest review . Great line that'd oes everything you said .I',m a beginner fly Fisher and reviews like your are worth their weight in gold and fish . Thank you . Please link the tippet / leader you mentioned. Thanks tight lines and wet nets . Brian
For the money its great. We have no idea how long they last mind. I have been made aware of a few niggles. But for the thousands that have been sold, it is a very low number. Very normal in this market. We have been messing around with a load of different tippet materials. Looking for that bargain. But we have got nowhere with it. Honestly its a mind field. But we have discovered paying big money on those big brand names. You ain't getting your moneys worth. But leaders, the boys and myself use the snowbee tapered braid. Some people don't like them, or more to the point don't understand the benefits. The one we use most is the intermediate. Slow sink some times and floater some times. But never the sink one. The sink one is pointless. I do mention the benefits to using these at times. They can help with turn over being they are tapered. And when we have flat calm, they help get the tippet under the surface. And can save on buying a sink tip. But there is a lot of reasons why we would want a leader. Hope this helps Brain. Take care mate. Shaun.
Yes thank you Shaun a great help as always . Enjoy 2023 fishing and looking forward to more helpful videos . Tight lines and wet nets.
I've been using the Rede River line on both 6# and 7# for around a year now, I've had to replace the welded loop which originally came on the 6# with Roman Moser loops but the 7# came with an exposed loop. The line is still looking good, no cracks and performing just as well as the first day I used it!
Its crazy that a line this good and for that money has not had the publicity it deserves. Myself and the boys had never heard of Rede River. But we are very happy to know of it now. Myself and the boys have hammered the line for the past few weeks now, and it is a great line. Actually I am ordering one for myself. I think it will be a great line for the buzzers as its memory is so good. And I straight line. Great comment Simon, and I hope you get many more fishing trips with your lines. Oh watch out for our tippet recommend if it works out. We have been trying it out for the last week or so. So far so good. Great price too. Take care mate. Shaun.
Cheers Shaun, I'm all but wiped out of floating lines now! Ha! I'm on the case to get an emergency order pushed through so I can keep on top of customer requests, but think I'm going to have a lot of stock notifications come in before my next batch is ready. 7wt lines are on their way right now for anyone waiting on them.
Lovely line and so is the sinker.
Thank you Alan for making this great line available. It really does make the fishing so much more pleasurable. I can say as I have cast and fished probably more lines than most. This is one of the best. I will be purchasing a few more from you soon. Thanks so much. Shaun.
Hi Shaun my first trip out with the rede river floating line and it’s awesome
Good recommendation Thanks Shaun
Sorry Ian for missing your comment. Yes it is a great line. And I think its going to be a hard one to beat. Even the top end lines cant compete. I have cast and fished so many. And for those who have not got this line, don't know what there missing. Nice one Ian. Shaun.
Really impressed with the Rede River floating line, just purchased the intermediate as well. Quality lines for the money. Thanks for the review Shaun.
Stevie mate, sorry I did not get back to you. I really did miss this one. No problem mate, if ever there is something worth its while I will announce it. But its got to be good. So lets see how well it holds up as the months go on. I would expect a few hick ups for that money. But I think a lot of people will be very happy.
@@shaunfishes101 No worries Shaun, no complaints so far. Both lines have been excellent. Paid more than double for lines that have not been as good.
Enjoyed that, Shaun. I’m so glad you enjoyed the line. I knew you would anyway after a few casts of it myself, it just felt great. You’re right, it just comes in a small bag on the spool, no box. I’m taking it to Pennine on Thursday so hoping to test it with some big fish. I also use 6 weights all the time, they’re the sweet spot for me. I have a 10ft 7w for Brenig but I mostly fish with Greys GR60 9’6 6weights. All the best, mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We have cast and fished this line for the last few weeks. and it has had a real good hammering. We were on an international water for 5 days last week and the line was no problem. To be honest all the boys wanted to fish with it. I never fished with it once. And when it comes to rods, my experience of 5 and 6# rods was old rods. to soft. These modern mid range and higher are just amazing. Even thou I have my McKenzie, I go for the Hardy Demon 9' sintrex 330 nearly every time. The boys and myself even rate this more than the upgrade Hardy ultra light. BC I have to thank you again mate, for the recommend. You will make a lot of people happy. Thank you and take care mate. Oh might have a good tippet material for you soon. We are trying out some now, and its looking good. And yes well priced. Shaun.
Cheers for the tip shaun.. moved down from a seven wt my self a few years ago now i use a 10ft 5 and a 9ft 4wt all year .. tight lines mate 👍
If you end up getting this line David, I promise you will love it. I wish I had purchased a few more. As I can not get to fish it. The boys are almost fighting over it. And yes its a different world with these modern lighter rods. Loving it. Thanks for the comment David. Shaun.
Bought a Rede Floating line and have to say it was brilliant. Now have their intermediate line and looking forward to using it.
I am sure you will be happy with it. I have had good reports on this line.
I've missed a few episodes Shaun! I hadn't seen anything posted in awhile! And I finally seen something. I've always wanted to try out a nice few different lines. Being that I've only fly fishing for about 4 years. I've only tried a few different lines. But everytime I purchase I try something different. I'll probably have to make a purchase on this line for sure. Great video ! And take care Shaun!
I hope you can get it. This is a really good line. I have a load of lines and over the years tried even more. But I will say this is the best line, and considering how much it costs. Its well up there. And hey, no bother about not watching. Do you think I watch all of yours. Honestly I don't watch much in the way of fly tying. Its got to be something very special for me to watch. I have watched I think two of you tying flies. Good luck on the line. Your going to love it. Shaun.
Was about to buy another line then saw your review Shaun took a punt and WOW what a line very little effort to get it out , I'll be fishing with it on Monday .
For the money it is a great line. There are 4 or 5 of these lines on our water at the moment and all happy bar one. Justin had an issue with his. The loop. Told him to get it sorted. But he can not be bothered. Mind he has a load of lines. I am sure as the rest of the boys require a new line, they will go with the Rede Line. Now we never covered the Intermediate line. But every body including Justin loves this line. But the Rede floating line is a great fishing line as well as a casting line. Good luck for Monday mate, Hope you have a great day. Take care. Shaun. Oh really nice to hear from you. Thanks for the comment.
Well done mate very informative video. Wow you and Justin can cast some distance. Its amazing how far you have come along with the camera. Its a really nice line to cast and better still hardly any memory and I used it for 5 days straight lol.
Yes I have been telling every body on hear that I have hardly used the line. Would have liked too, but could not. HMMM.
Yet again shaun. Another brilliant video. You have a natural gift for teaching. I always learn something new, each time I watch your videos. What's worse It me the urge to drop everything and head down the lake. Thanks and Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much mate. I don't like to be to direct, like do as your told. Its more like make your own mind up, but here is a clue. I still have not much idea on rods. But I have an idea. Why don't we ask every body what the best budget rod is. Just see what we get back. I will ask on the next video, which I will sort soon. Thanks for the comment. Shaun. Oh at least you know what line now.
Just discovered your channel, really impressed with what you do and say. I will be going back through your videos with great anticipation.
Hi Mike this is not unusual, but strange. I often put Fly Fishing UK and Still Waters. I have had several people say they have only just found the channel, and that they nearly always put in this heading. But it appears TH-cam would rather my videos be somewhere else. This is very annoying as I can not target where the video goes for the people who would like to watch. As I am on here now I will tell you that this channel does not post on a weekly period. I would love to, but can't. But anything that goes out will be honest and the best I can do at the time. It will improve as I learn editing and photography. If you are going to view the channel you will certainly notice the improvement over the time. Hope to hear from you again Mike. Thanks. Shaun.
Top job Shaun - looking forward to watch the antics of the fishing trip!
It was great, but went too fast. And yes antics is the word when Steve and Sam get together. I had to take handle of my door just to sleep. We thought we had a good idea. the word is Pizza. Will have to wait now to find out why. Catch up soon I hope.
Just bought myself this line after seeing this video cant wait to give it a cast 👌🎣
Its a great Line for the money Alan. You will most definitely notice the difference casting. And really good fishing line, good contact. Take care mate and enjoy your fishing. Shaun.
excellent video,i couldnt agree more.i bought the rede river line a week or two ago.ive used it on 2 fishing trips and to be honest its the best line ive ever used and seems to give extra feet when you cast it and less false casts.ive tried lures and even dry flies which have caught with it.ive been using it on airflo super stik 11 10ft comp special
Hi Tosh mate, I can't see how anybody can run this line down. I love it. Its so easy to cast as you say, but also very delicate. And when fishing you get direct contact and a great feel to it. We had a whole week last week on Garnffrwd water. Book a lodge on the water. Great time, loads of fun. But I did not fish the line once. The boys were fighting over it. Going to get me one for my self now. I have the airflow stick 11 but not comp. Have heard the comp has a lot more power in it. I was done when getting mine. They should have sold me the comp. Its OK but not good. Nice one Tosh mate. Take care. Shaun.
seriously good video mate! will certainly invest in that RR line. Great idea to get the other guys involved in testing - hard to buy that consumer feedback. Cheers matey! Best, Max
Honestly Max this is one of the best lines I have used. It casts and fishes so well. And maybe after all this time and money looking for the line. This could be it. Be very hard to beat mind. I will be ordering a few more soon. Every body is saying the intermediate is as good. c u soon. Shaun.
Rede river lines are absolutely AMAZING.....no question!........and now they own Bloke rods !
I have cast and fished so many lines, more than most people will do in a life time. This line is at the top. And matched with a modern 6# was bliss. More people need to experience this. Far to many out there with the old rod from twenty something years ago. Thanks for the comment. Shaun.
I have followed your review of Rede River Fly lines and am delighted with the value and performance of their lines. I have been Fly Fishing for nearly 50 years and have used most makes of lines in all their guises. I am currently looking for a DI5 line. Rede River don't supply, as yet, sinking lines other than an intermediate line. What would you suggest looking at. It needs to be AFTM6.
Hi Mike, in my experience we don't have half the problems with sink lines as we do floating lines. I my self don't use sink lines. But Justin and a good few of the boys use Airflow. If I was to need a sink line this is where I would start looking. Justin him self has several of these lines. And being that he is a welsh International I would guess he has the most experience, as these lines are used often from the boat. Sorry I can't be more exact. Take care. Shaun.
A brilliant explanation of this line ,plead continue manythanks Des
Thanks Des, Most people look for one thing in a line. How far it can cast. But we need to fish them. Therefor we need to know a bit more. How it presents, how it feels, can it detect the slightest of knocks. This line for the money does appear to be a good bet. How it fishes with time we will find out. Thanks again Des. Shaun.
Great product review , I like the way your mixing the videos up a bit now 😀
Thanks so much Allan, The videos are mixed up a bit like my head mate. After all this time I still struggle with editing and the whole video stuff. But I am determined to keep improving and hope to be going in the wright direction. Thanks again mate. Take care. Shaun.
I use airflow g3 8lb fluorocarbon 6.99 for 50 meters I love the stuff no better leeder in my eyes all the best mate and tightlines.
I wish I could settle on a leader. Sorry tippet. I have tried all sorts. Can never make my mind up. A lot of the carp main lines are pretty good mind.
Ordered a 7#intermediate to try hope it’s as good as the floating line to get me some distance thanks for sharing your time on the water
I no nothing of the Intermediate. We only tested the floater. However the feed back on the Intermediate has been as good. I think your good.
Good video again shaun looking forward to the upcoming ones, i have been using the rede river from the start of the year and have had no issues with it, i am going to pick up the intermediate and try that out aswell. Speak soon mate tight lines
Oh thanks for telling me you had such a good line. Anyway I don't care as mine is newer than yours. Oh our fishing trip was amazing. And can you believe the little blue was hammering the fish on day one and two. But I think the fish had words, as they went of it day 3, 4 and 5. Struggling a bit at moment, as I am renovating daughters house. So videos and fishing is going to be even slower. I now how can it get any slower. Take care Scott mate. Shaun.
@@shaunfishes101 i will keep that in mind next time i find a bargain shaun haha if you get the fish in the right mood with the little blue it is a fun days fishing it is still one of the first flies i go to in my box.
@@scottdocherty2921 Oh the intermediate is as good, I am told. During our fishing holiday I was messing about with the little blue. You will be pleased to know we have a few more variations based on the little blue. Cracking flies I have done well on them. Will sort some out for you soon.
@@shaunfishes101 no worries mate thats brilliant always look forward to trying some of your flies out the only one i still have not caught on yet is the mongral but to be fair i haven’t fished it as much as I would like due to it being buzzers and beetles the fish are constantly smashing at the moment.
@@scottdocherty2921 No I would not be using it much now. Will have to sort one of the floating Damsels for early to mid summer.
Hope they come back in stock. I’ve bought a ballistic fly line off eBay £15 + £2.75 postage came highly recommended to me by Matt from fly n lure he described them as a total bargain, he said he was putting out 10 yards of backing out, they are made in Reddich England not Chinese. He as a video on Facebook of us son putting out a full line with two false casts. Maybe you could do a review Shaun?
Hi Trevor, we have experienced some really good casting lines. But sadly they don't all fish very well. A lot of them are to aggressive. I will check to see if we have this line. We have tried so many, but my memory is not as good. I will ask the boys. If we have not, then at that price its worth a go. It may not get onto a video, unless its that good. The Rede Line will be in stock again. Be patient, its very worth the wait. Take care mate. Shaun.
Cheers Shaun. Really like these tell it how it is reviews.
I think we have all been done by these duff reviews at some point. I hate it. And as soon as I see anybody that harps on about a product that seems to be of the same brand all the time. Well you know then they are on hand outs. Pity as they never get the chance to try other products. So how can you rate something. Rant over. But honestly mate this is a really good line. We are looking at tippet material next. And this could be another cracker. Thanks for the comment Dan. Take care mate. Shaun.
I went by your recommended line the reed river floater, and I have to say I hate it.. it feels like your got a lump of lead on the end, the head is way to heavy and dives in the water to soon.. I don’t like that orange length in the line either !
I think it’s a beginner’s line..
I would agree with you being a beginner line. This is why it is so popular. It will handle a lot of different patterns. But if like me fishing mainly lighter smaller patterns, this line is not going to be my go too. But for so many they rely on lines like this to get there cast. It sounds like you have your casting in good order. Can I ask what line you have been fishing with. Thanks for the comment. Shaun.
Good video again sir wad having a look at there lines a while ago but wasn't sure about them have bought beads and hooks from them and they were fine so might have a look at the lines
Neil honestly, your going to be over the moon mate. Just check out some of the comments you will see how many have already got the line and what they think. Its a great line mate. Tell you what. When you get the line, which you may have to wait for now as they are going to sell like hot cakes. Let me know how you get on with it. Take care Neil. Shaun.
Excellent informative video as always Shaun. Some interesting points about tip action and fly lines. Very few reviews seem to mentiion this, and as you say it can make a huge difference when loading the rod. As for possible future reviews in the budget class, is the hype around the Maxcatch Gold fly line really warranted? Take care mate and keep those videos coming. There are many people who appreciate them :)
Hi David, I can't believe so many have this line, and yet the boys and myself knew nothing of this line. Nice line mate. I know I should have done something on the maxcatch. Not sure which it is that one of the boys has. I did try it on his rod which is the vision onki. The line was ok, but just like a lot of the lines out there. Top heavy. It did not have the same feel. Far too many people are to keen to reach distance without learning to cast, and the manufacturers are on it. Producing lines to overload the rod for the purpose of getting the fist 60 to 70'. And they all think its amazing. No wonder this country is in such a mess. So many people only consider the cast, and forget about the fishing. Sorry got carried away there. So we were on the line. I will ask Arran which line it is. And give it another go, as I can't really remember much. But it did not get me. Not like this Rede line. Catch up soon mate. Take care David. Shaun.
Great response Shaun. Totally agree about the hype around distance. Learning to cast and presentation are vital. Back to the Rede River line. Is it best suited to a fast tip action rod in your opinion? Also why is there no wf#5 do you think? Take care Shaun :)
@@outdammspot Most definitely the fast tip. This line is fine on a mid tip. As I said before most lines now are over weight, and this line is no different. But its not as over weight as most. This extra weight is working the rod to hard, for a mid tip. The tip action has more beef to cope. A lot of manufacturers are now stating for a fast tip. As they know its over weight. Justin summed it up in the video with his impression of the rod and the Infinity smooth. At some point there is going to be a lot of unhappy people struggling to cast as they have mid tip rods. Which is the go to rod for the novice. choosing a fly line has always been tricky. But its going to be a lot harder, as we try to work out what weight this line really is. But for this line mid tip fine, fast better. And Rede River are moving into 4 and 5# lines soon. Have you heard of Bloke rod blanks before. Its just because they are about to launch these rods at some point. I have heard they are pretty good.
Sorry for the delayed response Shaun. Yes mate. I've heard good things about the Bloke rod blanks. Maybe, sometime in the future, you'll get to do a review. Yes, I know I'm full of time-consuming ideas. ;)
I have a floater and 4 foot tip and can highly recommend them.
ye sounds like a lot of happy people with these lines. And for the money they are good. Twelve months on and I am wondering how these lines are holding out. I have heard nothing. Might have to ask via the channel. I see they have a new line out. wonder if it is as good. Being a new line it should be better. I am sure we will find out at some point. Take care. Shaun.
Try the cortland fair play line it's cheap but it's a good line mate all the best. Tightlines.
Was always a Cortland man on the rivers. Good lines.
Rede river line like shaun has no memory, take care mate👍👍
Shit ye, love that. Hope I remember to tell the boys. I know I will wright it down now. Hold on a moment mate, I am looking for a pen before I forget. Great. Thanks for waiting Ian. Have put it somewhere safe. Your a star mate. Thank you so much. Shaun.
Rede river also do a sinking line which is brown and casts exactly the same. Takes maybe 2 trips before it starts sinking right away. Both excellent lines.
Honestly Brian, I am blown away with this line. Love fishing with it. I have cast and fished so many lines, but this beats the lot. Can't wait to get it back on the water.
@@shaunfishes101 yes it is excellent, lies straight, floats well and hookups at distance aren't a problem. Also shoots out the rings.
Hi Brian, I'd be interested to know where you got a brown sinking line from, could you contact me through the website please? I don't do a sinking line, only an intermediate, the brown sinkers I had as samples I wasn't a fan of so they never made it to market.
Alan
If anyone reads this, just to clarify, I've spoken with Brian, he was actually meaning the intermediate line which is a dark olive colour, I was confused as I did have a brown fast sinking line as a sample, but they haven't been available for sale. Thank you for your time and custom Brian, really appreciate it.
@@rederiver6974 no problem thanks.
Have a look at the Ballistic Pro Performance lines. They are true to weight and go 120’ +.
It is rare to find a true to weight line these days now. So many people can't be bothered to learn casting. And think they are doing well when they put a line on that is miles over the rod rating. I am amazed to see so many on youtube also that struggle to cast a decent line. Manufacturers are aware of this, and you can't blame them for making these lines. they sell. Thanks for the comment. I will have a look at these lines. Do they fish as good as they cast.
@@shaunfishes101 I agree! I believe it’s a general misunderstanding about casting as well. They fish brilliantly, it’s my primary fishing line. The front taper allows you to present a wide range of flies, which is excellent. It has a long head (58’) which casts into the wind exceptionally well and is very good at speys, presentation casts/mends and of course, distance. To get the best out of it you need to be carrying around 80’ with speed. My other favourite line is the scientific anglers mastery distance, probably the best overhead line in the world. Great videos, Shaun. They are fantastic!
@@strikefromthereel1179 Thanks for that mate, I will look the line up, and may have one in a few months time. Have you tried the Rio Single Spey. That line flies. And got a great feel to it. Thanks again. Take care. Shaun.
@@shaunfishes101 No problem! I think you’ll really like it. I have a couple of Rio SHS lines, but they are all overweight. The ‘#5’ is a true #7 for example. They are exceptional for Spey casting, just like the Wulff TT nymph and others, but you can Spey cast any line. The Ballistic Pro Performance is actually one of the best for doing everything. The overhang can be extended with the Rio SHS, which as you know gives you a longer flight time, but there is a limit as the head is short. They do go a decent way, 100’ + (I haven’t actually measured down a tape measure with this one). They aren’t the best casting into the wind, or when it’s flat calm though. Great videos by the way! Take care.
Really enjoyed this, very useful video, more reviews plz!
This is a great line Barry. I have cast and fished so many, but this is the best so far, easy. Yes the reviews are better than ever now, due to the boys helping out. If it was me on my own, then that could be classed as an opinion. And an opinion is not much use as we all do things differently. Thanks for the comment Barry. Take care mate. Shaun.
I think a review on matchcatch line would be good, ive never used this line, but some many people on forums talk about quality for money!
@@barrygrey5119 We have this line Barry. I have used it. And its OK from what I remember. Have been asked about this line a few times now, so I have promised to dig it out and have another go. It won't be for a while, as it takes a bit of time to try it out with all the boys and we have so much going on at the moment. If we were all retired it would be great. But just to say if the line was so good it would have been on the channel. A lot of people only judge a line on how easy they can cast the first 50'. A line is for fishing. And why a product may not go onto the channel, is simply because I don't want to put any negative on any business. We do get asked to review products, and I always tell them that these reviews are Honest and if there are any negatives we will high light these points. It is then there choice.
@@shaunfishes101 yes Shaun, understood,
I like the line but feel it's to soft. Doesn't do well with a airflo polyleader sink tip on it. I bought a cheap line off eBay from a seller called castaway49. Cost £7.75 plus postage. You should try that. Great line 👍
Thanks for the info Benjamin. But we are done with lines for now. Have got so many. But will keep it mind for when we do more on lines. Strange that it struggles with that leader. Is it a fast sink. A lot of lines become awkward to cast with a heavy fast sink.
@@shaunfishes101 Hi Shaun 👍 it's the 5foot 3 inches per second I usually use. Might just be my casting 😂 great videos 👍 take care
@@benjaminkelly2277 Oh shit that's heavy. I struggle with the fast sink braid on a load of lines. Mind I never use it. Not due to the problem of the cast. Its more that I have no need for it. If I want to fish at those sorts of levels I go straight to my Di 2. Its my go to lines and it covers every thing for small waters. That's the floater with the choice of floating braid or Intermediate, if I need them. And my Rio Aqua 2. Sorted.
Was just wondering if you and the guys ever tried a Sunray line. Seems to have a similar taper.
@@w3bow Spoke with Justin this morning on this as his memory is better than mine. We do use a lot of lines between us all. His reply was. Yes very similar, the rede line seemed a better line with presentation, and a bit lighter when casting. Both good lines a not much between them. From what I have heard the thing that lets the Sunray down, is the very poor after sales service. Many people I have spoken too, have told me they have been totally blanked when calling for after sale service. And that is not just issues with lines.
Nice one for that shaun . I bought the floating line after your review and have to say its a brilliant line im pairing it up with the airflo stik m2 the problem i have is the rod is a 7/8 weight would you buy the 7 or the 8 weight line ?
A lot depends on your casting. The 8# could be a bit heavy and aggressive, but will load the rod a lot faster. The 7# will be a bit more delicate and easy going. So many people think that a line size up gives you bigger casts. It makes casting the first 2/3rds easy, but the rod will struggle to push enough energy all the way through that line for a bigger cast. Line size down and your rod has plenty of energy to push bigger distances. So you know what I am going to say. Yes. Definitely the 7#. Enjoy your casting Jon. Shaun. Oh just to mention, most lines now are over weight. This Rede line is nearer 7# than most lines today.
Nice one for that shaun .👍
Hi Shaun
Can you give me the info on the “reed” line that you were saying is a good line but cheap.
Another very informative video, keep em coming.
Bob.
👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
It’s Rede River long haul floating line mate. It’s on eBay or their website directly
@@CBCB78 Thanks BC. Star man.
Hi Bob, Got to say sorry as I have not had much chance to sort any flies out. Been so busy lately. Got family staying at our home until I renovate there house. Its doing my wife and my head in. Can't even get to my computer to do videos as the granddaughter sleeps in spare room with all my computer stuff. You need to get hold of one of these lines mate. You will love it. Casts a dream but fishes even better. Take care Bob. Shaun.

Hi Shaun, just to let you know that I managed to get one of those Rede River floating fly lines.
Cheers Mate, for the info.
Tight Lines
Bob.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
@@bobturner8323 Great. I think this could be your go too line every time. I can't find any fault. And at this price. I have a lo-ad of lines 5 times this price, but no way as good. Let me know what you think when you get it onto the water.
Hi Shaun , could you recommend a pair of waterproof over trousers that will keep wind and rain out and warmth in. I’ve been looking but i would prefer your recommendation. Hope I haven’t put you on the spot. Cheers mate tight lines
No problem Sam. But as this is an item we don't have loads of, and it takes a very long time to fully test these things out. But for me I will never go for a fishing specific item like these again. I have just recently got a jacket from Trespass. Water proof to 20000, and it has every thing I need. Apart from somewhere to hang my net. Half the price. Funny thing is the over trousers, not just here but a lot of places have only half the water proofing. But I would start shopping there or Mountain Warehouse first. Save loads of money mate. Hope this helps. Shaun.
Cheers Shaun I will try mountain warehouse first as I had my jacket from there. Looking forward to your next video mate, always find them instructive thanks again
Enjoy the videos mate. 👍🏴
Bugger the videos Derek, you need to try one of these lines. Then you can thank me or Bc who recommended it. But really, thank you for the comment Derek. Take care mate. Shaun.
Would those lines be suitable for salmon fishing....?
Not really, the core is too light, we have a switch line available and we have another shorter head switch line on its way which is similar to a skagit, but with an integrated running line. Give us a call during the week if you'd like more info.
better than the your gonna want one ?
In terms of value yes. But the barrio line is totally different. And still has a place in my armoury. It has that little bit more stretch and a very short front tapper. I find when using the fast tip rods and hard hitting fish, the Barrio works well. It gives you that little extra buffer. Thanks for the comment John. Take care mate. Shaun.
Short memory loss ! I know exactly what you mean shaun.
He's here, He's there, He's every where, so be ware. Nice one James. Ye its a bummer. Funny thing is, I often forget what I forgot.
