Default Cortland Clear Camo V's Cortland Blue

Hi All,

I need to replace my Cortland Clear Camo and I'v heard great reviews about the Cortland Blue. They are advertised as having the same sink rate. Have any of you tried out these lines against the Clear Camo, if so what are your opinions????

Thanks in advance
buzzr

Default blue vs clear

i have had both these lines and my experience was that the blue line performed better than the camo. shooting much better from a redington fsf 9foot #6. the camo #6 almost felt like a 5. if your after a line though dont overlook the pirate, his lines are easily a match for the "big names" at a much more appealing price and youll have it spooled an out the rings within days

take it easy

Cortland Blue for me, but the Old one not the lighter coloured new Cortland Blue.... Wish I could find an old one, WF7 preferably.

I do have the Camo one too, but prefer the 'Blue'

Sorry for throwing a spanner in boys.............

I never liked the blue............. but the Aiflo olive 0.5ips does it for me.

Super line.

Clear camo for me - the best clear intermediate I have used and I have had great success with it. I would buy another tomorrow.

Cortland 333 pro clear intermediate for me, cheap aswell. I like the olive 0.5 airflo line in sixth sense too.
