John, the standard airflo cold saltwater floaters are excellent lines, real slick and they dont kink also since it is not pvc, so it is not affected by bug juice or sun screen. I use an 8,9 and 10 with my Stick and am very pleased with thier performance.

Come on! I'm user friendly! Thanks for all your comments you guys. SAX, you got an 8 wgt. Stick? If so, what is your favorite weight for the rod? I like to be able to mend my lines back in the tidal flows. Sounds like the standard SW Airflo will work for that application. What about out on the beach in the waves and the wind?

Yes, 8wt stick and I love the 10 on it. I am told it will cast a 12 like a rocket and look forward to trying that this year. You cant go wrong with the airflo cold salt water, I cant find any negatives with the line in all fishing situations. I can also highly recomend thier multi-tip line, a floating running line with four interchangable 12' tips. A floater, int med sink and fast sink. It casts just like a full line and very versatile.

This is just pure BS. Manufactures calling lines an 8 when they`re really a 10. Just so they can spout some PR about how shootable thier lines are. Any rod would cast like a cannon if you overline it by 2 sizes. Wake up man! Just another instance of playing the public for suckers!
