im after a #3 line for small rivers and basically looking for a line that does not keep a lot of memory.
have had lines before that keep the memory even though i have loaded the reel to its maximum.
this small river fishing is new to me as i generally fish large waters.
any input would be great------ regards KEV

Pitsford Pirate (see threads and banners on this site) should be able to sort you out or have a look at the Barrio lines.

Don't know why you would want a WF line instead of a DT line for small rivers as the latter is better for presentation, plus, probably of less importance, you can use the other end when the origianl one gets worn - two lines for the price of 1!

Snowbee also do very good lines, but they are more expensive and don't wear as well

Get a DT#3 from the pirate, no memory and floats like a cork.

You wont find a better line for the money

snowbee ,rio,scientific anglers,the best line for zero memory is the cortland silk absolutely stunning, but better used on a middle to tip action not a fast,have one myself in a four

Lee Wulff Triangular Taper. Loads beautifully at short distances and has no memory. Not the cheapest but a cracking line.

At the cheaper end of the market, you will not got far wrong with one of Pitsford Pirate's excellent new delicate presentation models. Dont be put off by the off-white colour, the fish aren't.

I guess it is personal preference, but the majority of people would recommend A DT line for small rivers. Having used both on small rivers and read through a fair amount of articles I would tend to agree.
