        <![CDATA[ I&#39;m contemplating trying a Rio Gold WF-5-F fly line to use on my 8&#39; &amp; 8.5&#39; 5-weight bamboo rods (Grangers, Phillipsons, Para-15, Reams, Kenney,
Jennings), but I haven&#39;t had the opportunity to try one.  I usually fish DT lines, but I have a reissue 3&#39; Hardy St. George that would struggle with a
DT-5 line so I&#39;m thinking about one the Rio Gold WF lines.  Has anyone fished one of these lines on their bamboo rods?  What did you think?  Any pros and

			<description><![CDATA[ I have been using the Rio Gold in 7 and 8 wts for Steelhead fishing on bamboo Salmon rods.  I absolultely love this line.  It&#39;s an excellent fishing line. 
This is the best overall fly line that I have tried for fishing multiple methods (nymphs, dries, floats, etc.) on any given trip.  For me, a fishing trip
typically requires multiple methods and that is where this line excells as a fishing line.  If you fish only dries, then this line is not as subtle as others. 
Overall I liked the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I fish one whole line weight up on my Wayfarer and a half line weight up on my Granger. Sounds like you found the right line to work with those rods. On my
rods and my casting style (and I use the term loosely) the Gold feels like it falls half way between the designated weight and a half weight up, i.e., a 5 is
like a 5 1/4 wt. line. But that&#39;s getting pretty nit picky and limited in practical application. Though, if one is looking for a line to use with a given
rod within a specific... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just returned Saturday from spending 4 days on the spring creeks of s.w. Wisconsin. I purchased a 5wt. Rio Gold WF for my Redington Wayfarer &amp; loved it
on that rod, so, I got out my GV8642 Granger &amp; put the reel on it with the Gold &amp; tried it. I loved it! I usually fish a 6 WF Sylk on that rod but
after trying the Gold I don&#39;t think I&#39;ll ever go back to the Sylk. I&#39;ll be buying another Gold to put on my Hardy LRH for the bamboo.

			<description><![CDATA[ Graphite rods appear to allow for more fiddlin&#39; with moving the weight closer to the tip or overall trickin&#39;. I mean, you can make a given line work to
do certain things with given rods to a greater extent than one can with bamboo. My sense is, with cane, there is much less latitude when it comes to matching
lines with rods. If you want more from a rod that works well with a certain line when fishing boo you probably would be better off setting up a whole
&#39;nother rig to do it.... ]]></description>

how it behaved on a few different plastic rods.

			<description><![CDATA[ There seems to be a split here on preference with regard to posts thus far. The nays seem to have issue with finesse. I&#39;m in that category. But, I&#39;m an
Eastern angler and find myself casting relatively short throws to a fish, even when sight casting. I can imagine for a Western angler, the thicker, heavier,
more aggressive taper may work even when sight fishing (I understand they use clip on binoculars rather than clip on magnifiers).<img... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Interesting question. I tried my wife&#39;s Rio Gold line on a couple of rods before we received a couple of more inches of white &quot;spring&quot; yesterday.
I didn&#39;t care for it. Then again, when I tried the Rio&#39;s ST II DT line on her 8&#39; BIIx, I liked it. I like the DT&#39;s turnover and smoothness over
the Gold.

			<description><![CDATA[ SA came out with the Sharkskin GPX this year that is a half weight heavier, but I think that the original Ultimate Trout Taper Sharkskin is a standard weight

They also came out with a Sharkskin DT this year.

			<description><![CDATA[ I haven&#39;t checked weight charts or weighed them myself but, I think that may be why I have had a lukewarm response to the Gold while liking the Precision
Trout. The Precision Trout comes in half weights, i.e., 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, etc., and allows closer fitting to the rod. One can choose to go heavier or lighter
than the designated line recommendation for the rod. And if the rod is a 5/6, one can go with a 5.5 rather than having two lines and not being fully satisfied
with either. I think the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Harry,
<br>
You might be right. I thought SA&#39;s Sharkskin lines were made slightly heavier to fit those fast graphite rods folks use today.
<br>
I&#39;m almost certain that the Rio Gold lines are slightly heavy for their line size. Obviously staying in the bandwidth of the line weight rating. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ ibookje,
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m not certain about the Rio lines, but the Scientific Anglers Sharkskin lines are not 1/2 size heavier. That&#39;s a different SA line. The Sharkskin
lines are held closely to the IFTA standards.

you could probably still get away with a DT in one of those lines. I&#39;ve got a Gold and have tried it on several rods - feel lukewarm about it. If you are
considering the color as one of your determinants, you might want to look at a Cortland Precision Trout. Similar golden hue, though somewhat subtler --- and
