Yes it is a redfly. I will be fishing of both shore and boat but more boat. I am looking at some very heavy rips to fish this line in. I was using a corland 6-7 IPS sinking line last year and it worked OK but was looking to impruve on performance this next year. I was look at two types of line, both cortland. One had an itermitedate running line and the other had a floating running line. I was leaning toward the intermediate.

When I fish from shore I fish on rocky points mostly. Some sandy beches but I was not going to use this line to much on the beach. I have had good luck on the beach with intermedate in the rivers and marsh. Most of the ocean front here is rocky.

Is 250gr heavy enough for most fishing? I was leaning toward 325gr. Is that going to be to heavy for my rod? I know I should have a bigger rod but it is so much fun on light tackle.

I also have a 7 wt. rod I use sometimes in early season when the scoolies first show. Could I use the 250gr on that also? It is a slower action than the Redfly.

Thanks for the help.
