I’m not an professional, shill or honk and don’t endorse any products, I’m just an average guy that loves to fly fish…But if you haven’t tried one of these lines, do yourself a favor and pick one (or several) up. I got one on a whim when they were on sale to use as a cheap line for stillwater fishing. Last week I took it out and used it for the first time and it is easily worth twice what I paid for it! Not only did it live up to it’s name, it out floated two other “premium” lines that I had in the boat. All this in a August, low scummy water, I need rain pond (You Mid-westerners know what I’m talking about!). After an afternoon and a bunch of fish the tip was still floating high and dry. I’ve got an Ozark trip coming up in a couple of weeks and guess which line is going on my 4 weight? Awesome price, awesome product, awesome service and Ron’s a FAOL sponsor, too!
Dave,
I would agree that the H&H HI-Floater fly line is the best value to be found.
I have several and use them often. The olive color is quite nice also.
I’ve been told they are the same line as the Cortland 444, which personally,
I feel is the best plastic line ever developed. I can’t swear they are the same.
I’m not that attuned to two different make lines. The H&H feels slightly smaller in diameter to me.
Anyway, I highly recommend them for the money. Just my opinion.

Agreed. They hold up well too. My lines lay across rocks, get tangled in trees, and go through all sorts of other abuse while I fish my small streams.
I started out with the 444, switched over to Rio for a few years, then came back to the 444s. So I obviously like them. I fish still waters so rarely that I’ve never fished a new 444 in still water. In moving water, though, I’ve never been amazed at the 444’s ability to float high.
What think? Is the H&H High Floater a rebranded 444 or a different line?
Don’t know…That’s always been a rumor. If it is, then it’s a half priced 444. Bottom line is that if you want or need a new line and you don’t want to spend a half a hundred or more it’s a great value!
Another “thumbs up” for the H&H lines.
I have used SA Mastery and Rio lines for several years, with SA Mastery lines being my favorites. When line prices started topping the redicilous prices of 70 bucks, I started looking at other lines. A good friend recommended the H&H lines to me and I bought one and tried it. Then bought another, and another. GREAT lines at a fantastic, reasonable price.
I still have some other floating lines on reels but when they wear out, they will get replaced with the H&H “Hi-Floater” lines.
Thank you for a great line at a reasonable price, H&H!
About the only thing that could make these better would be a welded loop at the end.
Agree about the loops. That would be the schnizit!!!
I doubled it over and double nail knotted it. Then gave it a coat of Loon! It’s not beautiful, but it works just fine. Thanks for the link, I may try that on something else.
Of course then the price would increase.
I wonder if it would be politically correct for Ron just to tell us if it’s essentially a Cortland 444???
True. If it was only $5 or less, It would be well worth it.
I prefer without loops. If they came with one I would cut it off.
make one yourself!

I have have always wanted to try these line out. Anybody use the H&H in the upper weight 6-8wt? opinions? that’s what I am in need of. Most of the reviews are always positive but 5wt and under .
For the price…just try it. 
You really can’t go wrong.
Yep. I fish a H&H WF8F regularly on a Sage RPL 890. The line is fantastic.
I was wondering the same thing. Just bought the WF8F and will get to try it out in about a month on some steelhead.
And since it’s an H&H branded product, if you don’t like it, return it for a full refund…So there’s really no risk!
