Is This The Best Value For Money Fly Line???

[@scot1425]

Great intro to the website. Couple of years ago I bought a Rio Gold for about £100. After about three months it went kind of ‘crinkly’ in the hand when figure of eighting and when you then cast out the memory was horrendous. Replaced with a MaxCatch Gold which casts like a dream and still good to go.

[@johnlaudenslager706]

I had the same problem with a Rio Gold three years ago. No such problem with two Scientific Anglers line after. Friend doing fine with few month's old Maxcatch floating line.

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Cheers Scott. Certainly not suggesting not to buy the big brands I buy then myself and never had any major issues if they are well maintained but for your everyday fishing can’t see past the Maxcatch floating lines and if you damage them or get a wee nick it’s not breaking the bank to replace. 🎣

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

I do like the SA lines probably the best of the Premium options available IMO 🎣

[@davidmcinnes9180]

Been using these lines for years. Great for casting, great value for money.

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Can’t really see past the price point for the quality 👍

[@Flyhightying]

Useful video mate well done 👍🏻

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@Flyhightying cheers mate well worth investing in these lines IMO 🎣

[@brianr9529]

The perception line is outstanding. Even better than the gold. I've got the nano in a 7 weight great rod. Changed over to that from a stillmaniac.

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@brianr9529 nice. I’ve not tried the rods but I will next time I’m up at Skelmorlie Fishery they have them to test. The gold is a good allrounder but also have the perception too 👍🎣

[@neilandrew961]

Good video sir have been using the gold line for a few years now they are great cast great and stay straight far better than most lines

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@neilandrew961 agreed mate. Can’t really see past them for the reasons you mentioned 👍🎣

[@SusanRoberts-m9y]

I actually prefer the eco range they sell under £4 amazing value .i have used the wind cutter very good have bought one for myself the only thing i dislike on them is the dark head is practically invisible to me when wading but they do cast well in wind brilliant value

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@SusanRoberts-m9y hey I haven’t tried the eco range thanks for giving some feedback on it. Will need to give them a go. As for the wind cutter I’ve had a few people recommend it. With regards to the dark head being difficult to see you could potentially add a hang marker at the length of the fly line where you would lift off to cast so when the marker gets to the top eye of the rod you know how much fly line remains. Does that make sense? Just an idea 💡 🎣

[@josephbrownisky9473]

Can’t recommend these floating lines enough, just started using their sink tip which fishes pretty close to a ‘fast glass’ and casts great

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@josephbrownisky9473 they are exceptional lines for the money 🎣

[@SpotsStripesFishing]

I used the max catch gold for a season or two and it was decent. Only thing I found was I needed a #7 line for my #6 rods. It does feel light but for the money it was really good.

[@stef3309]

If you think it's underweighted for your rod I would highly recommend the Maxcatch Single Spey line as they're much heavier 😀

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Was that on a fast action rod you found it needed a weight up? My rods are mid to fast so not had that problem. Most of the time I’m fishing from a drifting boat and short lining so never really have the need to throw a long line. What I will say is they are if anything on the slightly lighter side 👍🎣

[@SpotsStripesFishing]

@@MF-Fly_Tying Yea fast actioned and from the bank

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@SpotsStripesFishing your probably right going up a line size if the line is a wee touch light the fast action rod won’t load properly. alternatively you might need to work the rod a bit harder and add in a double haul. Line up as you have done is probably the right answer 🎣👍

[@SpotsStripesFishing]

@ I’ve moved over to rede river lines now. I absolutely love them. Little more expensive than the maxcatch ones mind

[@andrewsmith1434]

As says in comments above,i go a weight up ,agree with everything you've said Mario

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Might try the 7weight on my 6 weight rod 👍🎣

[@NeilysFlys.]

I'm gonni try the Windcutter mate...it's meant to be a great line 😉👍🥃

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@NeilysFlys. not tried that myself let me know how that goes for you 🍻

[@SRussy4325]

I am waiting for order of gold and wind cutter to arrive for an upcoming trip to NZ.

[@eddieahara6605]

Tried it this year, wave cutter, no problem with it at all.

[@eddieahara6605]

Wind cutter!

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Not tried that one myself will take a look 👍

[@shaunfishes101]

Justin had a load of the avid. Like you he was given loads of extras. He gave me an avid. First thought was the belly was long. But soon got used to it. Spot on with every thing else. Lasted me about six months. But I fish a lot. I have had expensive Rio's, a good few actually. Won't go there again. Apart from the Rio aqua 11 which I love.

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@@shaunfishes101 I believe the Maxcatch range is very very good for the money and for me the floating lines are impressive for a fraction of the price of some others 🎣

[@stef3309]

Hi Shaun, big fan of the channel! Thanks for the kind words, if you're there after any Maxcatch equipment just reach out and I'll sort you out. Thanks 😀

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

@ always look forward to watching Shaun 👍

@@stef3309 Thanks Stef, much appreciate the support, comment and offer. Take care. Shaun.

@@MF-Fly_Tying Thanks mate. Working on one at mo. Think you may like. Shows what can be done with a fly rod and line. hope to be out in week or so.

[@chrissykennedy7502]

I use the eco lines can't fault them also have an intermediate and sinking line

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Nice 👍

[@justinmcquaide4862]

I’ve always found that cheap fly lines work great for a while but they don’t last ?

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

I’ve not found Maxcatch to deteriorate any quicker than the more expensive lines on the market I could be wrong and never noticed. I can be fishing 3/4 times per week and change the floaters once per season unless I damage them myself.

[@randellgribben9772]

i clean my lines at home in the tube.. warm water dawn dishwashing soap in a 5 gallon bucket. then rinse out in the tube.. hang on shower curtain rod.. reel it back onto the reel.. every 4 uses

[@maxjarno7814]

Tried the wind cutter and the blue nymphing line and both of them are terrible... The nymphing line is terrible för nymphing....

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Not tried them so couldn’t pass comment

[@charliehepburn8803]

Tried to order but nothing I chose was in stock.

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

Hi Charlie never had that issue before. There is UK and Factory sections. If it’s not in UK stock and you’re happy to wait a few weeks you can order and it will come straight from factory if that works for you. I’d reach out to Stefan if you’re having any issues. Mario

[@charliehepburn8803]

@ Thank you I’ll try that. I can wait.

[@stef3309]

​@@charliehepburn8803Hi Charlie, the complete range of equipment is in our backorder section 😀

[@JimLittle-i5l]

Only one thing i can say...RIO...so so overated....so will need to try these lines....ps. and the price of the rio lines....RIDICULOUS. 🎣👍

[@MF-Fly_Tying]

I think there is space in the market for all lines at their price point. For me I do use a Rio for flicking very small drys there is a slight advantage with their line over others but I don’t use it for everyday fishing. 🎣
