I had Monic on my Tarpon rod but couldn't get the curly out of it. So i got some Courtland Liquid Crystal more curl. I did all the suggestions on here to stretch it but it still curled. I have some Dacron core on my 8 wt. And no problem. My last Tarpon guide said that line was curling because it was solid core.
So now I need some floating weight forward 12 wt. Who makes Dacron or Braid core fly line

Airflo

For floating lines, I have had great success avoiding the dreaded tangles with Rio and Scientific Anglers. Horrible luck with Airflo.

Was it the new Monic Henley line? I've noticed less memory in the new line than in the older Monic clear.

He chimed in on the Monic Henley thread about how the Monic line he used in the past had too much memory and I asked if he had tried the new Monic Henley clear. I use it and it barely has any memory compared to any of my other lines including SA Grand Slam Mastery and Tropical Punch. Maybe he didn’t see the replies after he post.

I have had pretty good luck with RIO Flats pro.

The new Monic Henleys, SA Amplitude Smooth, and even the new Cortland Tropic plus line seems to behave the best for me. Probably in that order as well.

Rio lines have never coiled on me. The Cortland LQ lines do coil up sometimes, that being said I still prefer them over Rio.

 

[Steve_Mevers]

They all have coil to some extent. RIO bonefish was the worst for me, Cartland 444 was not as bad, and now I am using Airflo Punch and I like the way it cast, but it has a little memory you have to deal with.

Now I'm confused so I'll look up Monic Henely and see how much it is. Then look at Rio, SA
Wait some of you don't like those

You can call Monic and talk to an actual person and not a secretary, an actual guy that knows about the products they produce and sell. I’m very happy with my Monic Henley in 8wt and also their customer service.

I put Monic Henley 12wt. In my cart at Amazon. Haven't ordered it yet waiting for more post

Buy it directly from Monic so you support the business and not the middle man (Amazon). I got mine in three days.

That's how it works, you order it, then send your old line in with your order# and then get a credit. You may still be able to do it depending on when you ordered it.

Cool I’m going to do that

SA Tarpon taper is a great line, I have been using it for years.
The clear lines are the ones that can be curly. I was told not to stretch them.
I used Cortland LC this past season and it Didn’t tangle too much.
I just put a Monic Henley on my 8. We we see.

If I ever get wind tangles, Ill drag all the line behind the boat for 100 yards or so with no fly on it.
This helps if you get in the bad habit of pushing the fly line around on the deck with your feet or you put the line on the reel the wrong way.

Hope this helps.

Do you have to recycle the same wt line ?

I do not believe so...may want to call and verify first though to be sure.
