Default Royal wulff fly line

Has anyone tried royal wulff triangle taper line? I have been having a bit of a challenge finding 2wt line and thought I may give it a try.

Had the 5wt on a 4wt dragonfly ime perfect line great turnover for delicate close work yet could cast for the fences. Only draw back I encountered mending was deadend at the rear of the taper. Imo great line.

Thanks for the info, I was planning on going with the 3wt line for my 2wt, I've read some reviews about over lining by one wt with this line.

If you like supple line get the orange one, green is a little stiffer, never tried ivory, from what I read on Internet seems most people favor orange. Apparently orange is easiest to cast...

I appreciate the help, I guess wulff changed their line designation from tt2/3 to either 2wt or 3wt. I've decided to go with the 2wt line, orange is the colour they had in stock so that's what I ended up getting.....now just have to wait for my new reel to show up and give it a try.
