    Default Sylk

    Just loaded a DT4 onto one of my reels. I have to say it looks superb. Thin, slick, limp. Looking forward to giving it a test drive.

    You'll like it on bamboo. And love what it does with graphite.

    I haven't tried it myself, but the only complants I've heard so far is the tip tends to sink(DT) and it has quite an ability to tangle because it's so limp(again DT). I must say however more people rave about it then any line released in a long time. The Cortland Peach fans love it.

    See, I can take or leave my WF3F Sylk. On one hand, distance casting is very easy due to small line diameter. However, on hot days, I've noticed that this line seems too pliable, and seems to hang up in the guides a little bit, hurting castability. Haven't had issues with the tip sinking, unless my leader loop gets crud on it (hate when that happens...) I have also noticed issues with tangling from time to time as well. But, maybe if I used a stripping basket it would be better. So far, I'm not totally set on this line. Maybe further work with it will change my mind, but until then, for me, Rio Classic is the way to go.
