Double Taper Flylines
For nostalgia I am bringing my grandfather's old South Bend model 47 9' bamboo rod out of retirement. It calls for calls for a 7 wt line and he taught me to cast using a DT line so i figured I would try to set it up the same to try staying true to memory.
I am having trouble finding a double taper line anymore, almost everything is weight forward.
Cortland makes a DT 7Wt, but finding someone who deals with Cortland is also a challenge.
There are a number of Euro DT lines but I cannot seem to find a way to compare how they measure the line in mm to understand where they would fall into NA standards of 7 weight etc.
Wondering if anyone here can help out.
