Seeking some input from folks who have experience using lots of different 6 weight floating general purpose lines, with bonus points if you have used them with a Scott Centric. What floating line do you like that is not in the “uplined” MPX/Rio Grand zone?
Context: seeking a new floating line for my 6wt Centric. My rough specs are a “goldilocks” daily line with a medium+ length head; not too far above the typical grain weight we would expect for a “typical” 6 weight line these days, but with a bit more ooomph than a technical WF.
I have been mostly using an old GPX line as my daily driver for the rod. I love the rod and it fishes fine with the GPX, but could see loving it even more mated with a sliiiightly different line. Since I need to pick up a new line soon anyway it felt like a good time to solicit feedback.
Wondering whether the SA Infinity Taper is a possible good option: how does it differ from the older GPX lines? Is the Rio Elite Gold, or some other line, something to consider? In the past 10 + years I have been almost exclusively using SA or Rio lines but am open to alternatives.
Thanks for your .02.
