Line for H&H 6'6" 2 WT

[Eric-WD]

My Son (FAOL James-FS) is busily building his first rod. My question for those of you who have built/fished this rod is what line do you recommend, I was thinking of a DT 2 wt. any comments suggestions etc. Anyone tried the H&H double taper store brand?

thanks

I use a Cabelas Prestige DT-2 wt on mine and I love it. Have not tried the H&H DT lines...have a WF-4 and no complaints so far.

I use a WF4 on the 4-piece 6'-6" 2wt, and it casts like a dream. Tried a WF3 but did not like it,so the 3wt went onto my 1wt rod. Oh, I never did buy a 2wt line from the git go.

Confused enough?

I use the Hook & Hackle line 2wt. THIS IS AN AWESOME OUTFIT!!!!!

I have Rio's Trout Line DT-2 on my H/H 2wt. works very well.

I'm with Joe V. - I overline my 2wt with a WF3 or a DT4. Seems to cast much better . . . like a dream, actually!

Try overlining and see how you like it. Sometimes those real light rods need a bit of extra help.

Make sure to bring it to the MIFI for the 2wt shoot out.

It might be just my casting but I ended up putting a 3wt line on the 6' 6" 2 wt I built. I tried a 2 wt Wolf Triangle Taper, WF, floating line and couldn't cast it.

this is just a question, not a judgement, but if you put a 3 or 4 weight line on a 2 weight rod, doesn't it defeat the purpose of buying a 2 weight in the first place?
