    Like JC said . I would use WF-4-F. I have Scientific Anglers Ultra Tan DTT-4-F on mine but I only use it for small/tight creeks with little or no wind and I only fish it with mini-poppers when I use poppers on it. I mostly use dries, wets, and nymphs on it since I originally got it to fish for Georgia mountain trout more than bream. Its only a 6ft. Kunan graphite rod . Not really meant for larger waters.

    You might try a Teeny First Cast WF4F, if you can find one. First Cast lines are designed for beginning fly casters and have more weight up front than most WF lines. Shorter and cheaper, too. I love them on a short bamboo rod on tight little streams, since they load the rod so well. Plenty of punch for poppers or other wind resistant flies.

    I use the BassPro Shops CV2 line in a 4wt and a 3wt. I like it a lot and you can't beat the price!
