I have a few and they're very, very good value for money. I recently used a WF8 in Iceland and it bore up well against big fish, big currents and rocks. It shoots well, once loaded (if i could forward a tiny criticism is that it may take longer to load than the 444 i took off the reel) but once in the air casts very well, and was commented on by the ghillie as flying without any loops or crinklles.

Get a few, you'll not be disappointed.

I have several of the lines, including the midge tip.
They are really excellent and are fantastic value for money.
Try them and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Currently I have three, 2 full floating lines and a midge tip.

Excellent value for money and recommended. I caught a reservoir PB of 6lb 10oz from Sutton Bingham in late April on my WF7 midge tip !

just used my first one and it's knackered due to chicken mesh on fishing platforms (whoever thought that would be a good idea????) and it is better than the greys platinum at a fraction of the price, just away to order some tonight, you won't be dissapointed.
