weight foward line
Question
I just baught a weight foward line, but I dont know wich end to tie to the backing. The tag that says "this end to reel" is gone. I have noticed that one end is narrow and one end is fat. What end do I tie to the backing?
Answer
Scotty,
The weight forward line has a thicker front section that tapers to a thin section. The back 2/3 of the fly line is level. You want to have the thicker section (with the thin taper) be the front end of the line (where you attach the leader.
Hope that makes sense...
