I have one. For our cape streams I cant say it makes any difference and it is pretty much the same as using a standard fly line. Get to a big river and it is very nice to have. you can fish very far away from yourself and still have pretty direct contact with your flies. The line is very supple and so is effectively an extension of the butt of your leader. If you really can't make up your mind lets go fish a day on the streams and you can borrow mine and make up your mind. My opinion is that it works very nicely for its intended purpose and is much nicer to use than a standard line. Only problem is you cannot fish dry with it which is potentially a limiting factor for comp in SA where the fish are pretty opportunistic and where you find yourself changing from dry to nymph often. I don't fish the vaal but I imagine it would be great for that and it is certainly extremely nice in eastern Europe.
An honest fisherman is a pretty uninteresting person.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and not only is he hungry but broke for the rest of his life as well.
