Hi
I am looking at replacing 4 fly lines , slow glass, Di3, Di5 and Di7.
I was going to buy sixth sense lines but just wondered what popular opinion was on them and also on the ridge lines ?
I cant help thinking that ridge lines would wear a groove in the tip ring of the rod ?
What are your views ?

Cheers
Craig

Sixth sense.The 1st versions are going cheap(er) on E-Bay.Recommended.
No idea about the new ones.

Cant comment on the ridge lines as i don't own one ( but i get your point about the rings ).The only sixth sense line i own is a slow int it is a great line real supple,flies threw the rings,next to no memory and does excactly what it says on the tin.This is one of the older versions by the way

Hi. I have been using 6th sense lines following advice on here when I was having problems setting the hook when using intermediate lines.

In the cold I think that the line does not go through the rings as well as my cortland peach floating line BUT the lack of stretch in the line is fantastic and I think makes a real difference when fishing.

the ridges themselves shouldnt wear grooves in your rod rings as the line is much softer than the rings-any grit trapped in the ridges may well have an abrasive effect
as Jim says the old version sixth sense lines are going on e-bay for 17.99 inc postage-great lines , i use the sinkers and inters but not the floaters(never have so wont comment)

all the best Nick

Hello Craig

It seems airflo is a bit of a maze as they keep updating.I am an airflo line user and I think the sixth sense sinkers have a braid core and the ridge slow/fast glass lines have copolymer core.I have never fished with the clear ridge lines just a floating ridge braided core line which does not appear to harm the rings and it is a line pretty well used since 2009.It does however require more attention to detail when cleaning as the ridges do tend to hold crud more than a normal line.Back to the 6th sense slow/fast glass braided core lines which I currently use on reservoirs and to date very happy with.
