Yes, completely agree. If I were looking to buy a DT line I'd look at Cortland in either the 444 or 333(which at one time was 'THE' top of the line in the fly fishing world). I'd also email the companies that no longer make a DT and let their customer service department know my displeasure and that, although I prefer their brand, because they no longer made a DT they forced me to buy another manufacturers product.
