I'm hoping to do a bit of saltwater fly fishing this summer. I've bought a cheap fly rod (abu diplomat 10' 7-9wt) and have an Okuma airframe reel. I have a floating line but want to purchase a cheap 8wt sinking line as the two marks I'm thinking of fishing are very deep. I'll mostly be fishing for Mackerel (I'd love to say Bass but lets not get into the realms of fantasy) and although I realise they can be caught fishing shallow I know from float fishing for them that they run deep at these two marks. The lines I'm looking at on Ebay are:-

Caimore 'Paragon XD' WF8S

Partridge Of Redditch Fly Line WF8XFS

Shakespeare Professional WF8S

IMPULSE HIGH PERFORMANCE FLYLINE WF-8S

These are all 'buy it now' and are under a tenner (there are a few better lines on auctions but I'll stick with these for now). Does anyone have any opinions on these lines, I'm not prepared to spend much more than a tenner as this will only be an occasional foray into SWFF although if it goes well I may upgrade everything.

I've been hunting a reasonable WF8F and the Shakespeare Professional lines seem to get good comments, hard to find over here though. I have a Shakespeare Odyssey and it's prettey nice (same manufacturer as Fenwick lines I think). Can't comment on the others, hopefully someone else can chime in on those.

Thank you that's very helpful. I am bidding on a few higher spec lines but I'll certainly keep the Shakespeare in mind.
