Guideline Experience+ WF Fly Line

Guideline Experience+ WF

Experience+ line for every fishing situation and casting style! This line allows for precise and delicate presentations regardless of casting distance. A long belly, or casting head, is followed by a 1.5-meter "handling line" section, enabling smooth casting while keeping the head entirely outside the rod tip. When starting a cast, you usually have to pay attention to which part is at the tip of the rod. This feature is quite essential when offering a fly to a wary fish that roams further away from your position. However, length is not always crucial; the line is perfectly suited for shorter casts as well. Speaking of efficient line shooting, this line releases easily from the tip – you don't need to let out much line from the tip ring to succeed with a quick cast. The short rear taper makes the line so-called fast, which is a key attribute for an excellent all-around line.

The line's profile is constructed from a four-meter front taper, a 6.9-meter casting head, and a 1.5-meter rear taper (#5). This design allows for easy pickup from the water to make another cast, making it well-suited for switch and spey casts. The 1.5 m handling section lengthens the part of the line that is outside the rod tip for better control during powerful casts.

Compared to the previous Experience line, the Experience+ line features a slightly shorter and lighter casting head, while the handling line and running line are thicker. Hence, the line is easier to cast without losing the familiar Experience functionality. The weight of the casting head is a step higher than Guideline's recommendation for their rods. However, this doesn't mean you should choose a significantly lighter line. For all of Guideline's rods, you can confidently opt for a line marked with the same weight class. However, if you prefer a lighter feel, you can choose a lighter line according to your taste – a one-weight lighter Guideline line pairs still well with a Guideline rod. Generally speaking: for medium, medium-fast, and fast action rods, it is recommended to select a line with the same weight class marking, while for slow action blanks, the safest choice is a line one weight class lighter.

Experience+ is a three-color line; the casting head is "pale olive", the handling line is orange for easier visibility during casting, and the running line is "bone white". Experience+ WF is constructed over a braided multifilament core, which means the line exhibits minimal stretch. Additionally, small factory-made loops are located at both ends of the line. For these reasons, the feel for the fly is excellent! Near each loop, the line's surface features laser-engraved ID markings, allowing you to distinguish your line from others. The fly line spool and box are environmentally friendly and recyclable.
