Looking for a 4/5 wt line

[saflyfish]

My 4wt's are fast rods and dont load great with standard 4wt floating lines.
Hence im looking at a 4.5 or 4/5 floating line.
Any recommendations?

How bout the Rio Grand. Meant for fast action rods. It is a half size heavier than the standard lines.

Sci Anglers GPX lines are 1/2 line weight heavy. I'd go for the Textured version. Contact Frontier.

The new Airflo Super-Dri Xceed are also 1/2 wt heavy, but are not yet in SA.

Sometimes a heavier line might help, but a rod is always going to load regardless if you feel it loading or not. Im not sure if its a feature of a fast rod per se, but a little more weight will definatly help to feel the loading. Your rod might just be less forgiving than you might like. Once you get a few meters or more of line out the tip, you might find it slows down a bit. The other alternative is to take it down to your fly shop, and see if the "expert" can cast it. If he can, then you know that you need to work on your casting. Perhaps you just dont like the rod, or you have the wrong stick for your fishing application.
For what it's worth, I have a 4wt rod which in some applications works best with a 6wt line, and another application I use a 5 wt floater, and even another application, I use a 4wt line......It all depends what you want to do with the rod.
