    Default Rio Gold versus SA Textured GPX

    So which one of these lines would you choose with a fast actioned rod and why?

    I'd pick a Sci Anglers GPX textured over any other floating line I have fished, including the Sci Anglers Sharkskin.

    Loads fast action rods well.
    Textured surface shoots well.
    Floats well.
    Nice taper design.
    Good durability.

    Doing a trout talk for Central Gauteng FF Union.

    E.Cape was decent. Crappy weather(don't go in early Sept), less fish than April, but bigger average sizes.

    Check what Sage recommends. I know the GPX lines are a half a weight heavier than standard AFTMA lines.
