You might try Steve Parton but I'm not sure he would have anything less than the equivalent of a 10wt shooting head.

Alternatively, you could try and get hold of Jim Teeney's lines - he does a range of 'Chuck and Duck'! lines that might fill the bill -

Jim Teeny Fly Lines

The lead core line will certainly get down, but it can snap easily and be difficult to join - it will also slice off your ear with a badly timed cast

I would stick with the T 14 line, made by Rio and although not readily available in the uk, you should be able to get some from sagefly on this forum.

IMHO a better option, but I'm sure there are some who would disagree

Geordie, thanks for that, unfortunately due to complaints by some trade members I have stopped doing T-14 for sale.

I have about 300ft of T-11 left and once that is gone its gone, its a shame that the trade members who complained don't actually stock T-14. Ironic is what I call it politely!

T-11 60p per foot.
