    Default need help with a 6wt bonefish line

    Over the winter I bought a 6wt Scott S3S. It's a very strong rod, and I used it in freshwater this spring lined with a SA GPX 6wt(WFF) with great results. This summer I put an Orvis 6wt(WFF) bonefish line on it with horrible results. It takes at least 35' just to get the rod to think about loading. The rod does do well with a 7wt Cortland clear intermediate. I understand the GPX is about a half weight heavier than marked. Is there a bonefish line out there comparable to the GPX without going to a 7wt floater? Thanx.

    If you are going to be wading 90% of the time I would buy an SA/Mastery "Saltwater" line in a WF7F.

    If you are going to be in a boat 90% of the time I would get an SA/Mastery "Bonefish" WF7F.

    I don't think that they have any Bonefish lines that are a half size up like the GPX and the RioGrand.
