Favorite Tropical line?

[Mort]

What is everyone's favourite all around tropical salt water line?
Do you use one line size heavier to help with loading and battling the wind?

Rio seems to be the most popular today.

I belieive they are already a little heavier.....

What rod size for what kind of tropical fishing?

"Favorite Saltwater Line" is a pretty generic question. For fishing in Baja for Dorado, Roosters, Jacks, Skippies and YF Tuna feeding on or near the surface, with out a doubt the best line is a Rio OutBound Short. Floating or Intermediate. It is already over sized by two for you and is ideal for getting your fly in the zone as quick as possible with the least amount of false casts. For getting deep I prefer a shooting head system with Rio Slick Shooter for running line with a T-17 or T-20 head. It gets the fly down faster than any thing else that I have tried. Deadly on YF and Skippies feeding deep.:cool:
Good Luck

9wt rod to fish for permit and reef fish in Belize this June specifically. Would like something that would be useful in other places as well though, like florida. Thats why I was considering a general Tropical saltwater line, like a RIO Saltwater or comparable.

I live in Florida for most of the year and I prefer Wulff BTT lines. It is a great line for distance and accuracy.

Everybody has a different casting style. With that said, I'll have to say that I love the Rio Redfish lines. I like it so much with a TFO 9wt BVK that I just bought another rod and line so I would have two set ups for permit. The 9wt line is a 350 gr line although it really doesn't seem that heavy to me. It will throw everything from snook flies to bass flies.

Right or not, I live and die with Cortland Ghost tips. Tarpon, bones, smallmouth bass. Just not in Baja.There it was a Mastery Streamer Express Clear Tip
