What type of flyline is best for large flies such as those for big trout, smallies, and largemouths? I'll be pitching zonkers, 1/50 and 1/100 lead eyed clousers, big buggers, leeches, and a few bassbugs...I was thinking of just getting a 7 wt. bass bug taper or maybe a WF but there are these others like Rocket Taper (Cortland 555) and Orvis Wonderline and Longbelly Line, so there are almost too many lines to chose from and I can't decide.......Any ideas?
For heavy small stuff, a bass bug taper would be fine. For large stuff, like wind resistant pike flies, something a little more extreme, like a Cortland Pike taper, or a SA Pike/Musky taper, basically bass bug tapers with the weight concentrated in a shorter, thicker belly, are more comfortable (relatively speaking...)
