Are Greys lines not designed to match with Greys rods?

For a excellent general all purpose floating line the Rio Gold takes some beating

I'm using a Scientific Anglers GPX (WF5) which I'm delighted with, but hear very good things about the Rio Gold which I will try next. I think both come with welded loops which are the first things I cut off!

Pitsford Pirate and Bario lines seem to have a good following on this forum.

I have used the Bario GT140 this season for thefirst time and love it.
Im not into top of the range lines as a rule but this line has out performed anything I have used in the past (all be it a small list).
The turnover and presentation is fantastic and if you want a bit of a chuck, the line shoots for ever. At the price it's got to be a must try.
As a balanced view an so as not to sound like I have shares in the company;
Trust it to be a Jock to come up with such a good line for such little money.

IF you can, try a few lines on your rod, one line on a rod may well suit that rod, or casters ability!
I use rio gold lines, snowbee xs lines, and Shakespeare worcester lines!
