Just picked some up in DT couldn't resist the price. I'm a sucker for anything $10 or less, plus it's a shorter length and will take up less space..has anyone tried it before? It was 10$ so I'm not expecting much just enough to get me through the fall.

Brian, I've never used that line before so I can't comment. I do have a SA Air Cel line that I like. It cost me $20 and it cast just as well as a line that costs twice as much.

Jeremy I have some air cel as well and I like it quite a bit.
Yeah Janus, I'v used it, and it does the job, the SA I have also, I like it alot, I think you'll find you prefer the SA, but Like I said, I did have the corland and used it alot, it does the Job, I'v kepted it on back up reels after getting different lines...:)
I've used it but it was awhile ago. It worked fine, but no telling if it has the same formulation now.
Why does it seem that the chaper lines always come in that flourescent green color or is it chartreuse? Why not more dark olives or browns. Are lines cheaper to manufacture in gaudy colors?
The fairplay double taper is white. I can handle that color.
I've always favored muted colors. I figure they don't spook the fish as much when I'm high stick nymphing.
The Fairplay is a line designed for beginners. It has an easier casting taper to it and I think it is 1/2 wt heavier than a 333 or 444. The bright colors on lines are to help the caster see his line while casting. My Fairplay was a tan though. You can get a few seasons out of it but it won't float as high or present a fly as well as a better quality line.
I would not compare the Fairplay to the S.A. Air-Cel. The Air-Cel would compare better to the 333 both were top of the line for both companies for years.
