Ok,
So this week I picked up a nice new St. Croix Reign in a 9' 5wt 4pc. I also purchased an Airflo Freshwater Tactical "River and Stream" wf5f line. The line was recomended to me by the guy at the shop. He informed me that this line would suit the rod very well and match up to it's action etc... I own lines from S.A., Rio, and Cortland, but this line feels very different. It almost feels like rubber to me, very fat and even slightly grippier than expected. It seems to shoot ok, but there is a ton of memory from being in the package. Is this line going to keep this memory, like an old Orvis "Wonderline" I once had? Any educated opinions on this would be greatly appreciated. I just may be tempted to return the line and just go for another Rio "Selective Trout" if there are a few bad opinions posted on this Airflo line. Thanks in advance for your help on this matter.
