Fly Line Costs
Outlined below are current fly line price ranges. They are provided as a guideline only. We recommend that you purchase the best fly line that you can afford . . . after you have learned how to cast. Before, or during the process of, learning basic flycasting skills, if you purchase a rod, reel, and fly line "package", we suggest you use the line that the manufacturer/dealer provides as part of the outfit price. If you buy your first line separately/independently of a fly rod, get the least expensive double taper or "beginner's" weight forward line to match the weight rating of your rod. This should take you through the learning process. Once your casting skills are "honed to perfection", then you may elect to discard your "learner line" and move up to a more tailored line style.
As notable from the chart, fly lines are not inexpensive. For the most part they are reliable tools that do not require a lot of attention to maintain in satisfactory condition. However, they are not "maintenance free", and do require some routine care to prevent potential problems and to prolong their usefulness.
