Jim Teeny WF Floating Fly Line Review

Trident Fly Fishing is a full service fly shop. We spend a lot of time testing gear and writing shootouts to give you all of the tools to make your next trip a success. We are not a blog, or a review site. 100% of our funding comes from your gear purchase, so if this shootout helps you on your next fly fishing adventure, support us by buying your next fly line (or better yet, your next rod and reel), from us. This post is part of our Fly Line Shootout, so if you haven't read our main post, you probably want to check it out.

About Teeny Fly Lines

Jim Teeny, Inc. was started in 1971 by (as you might assume) Jim Teeny. He started out making and selling flies - specifically his patented "Teeny Nymph". By the early 1980's, he was producing one of the first integrated sink-tip lines. The now famous T series is accompanied by a full range of floating, intermediate and sinking lines.

The Review:

Teeny WF Floating

Price: $62.00 The Hype: A comfortable high performance fly line that will do all that you would expect from a weight forward floating line. Taper Diagram:

Casting Notes: While SA may have stopped making their popular GPX fly line, Jim Teeny has not. When we cast this line, we were surprised at just how similar it felt to Sharkskin GPX. When we compared the tapers, it turned out that it's virtually identical (see below). So, if you're interested in how it casts, just click here and read our review on GPX. The only real difference between this line and GPX is the weight – Teeny WF Floating is a heavier line. This is consistent with what we've found with all lines made by Cortland.

Sometimes being the same is bad. This time, it's great. You can now get this awesome line at a lower price than you could ever buy SA GPX. Just be warned that the extra weight means that it won't perform as well on softer rods. Want more info? Read about GPX here. Pros:

• Excellent performance across the board in every category.
• Great Value

Cons:

• Heavier than SA's version of GPX.

Bottom line: One of the best all-around lines in a non-textured version

Our full range of fly lines is worth a look if you're still comparing.
