The OP is talking about having low end outfits. I don't mean that as a knock. I have a Cabela's 3 weight Three Forks rod that I love. But it's possible that a less expensive, but still capable, line would be fine. Look into the Hook and Hackle lines on their web site. Quite reasonably priced, and they have many fans. Also- Cabela's Presige+ lines are upsized 1/2 line weight, and sell for a penny under $40. Haven't used one, though. Not everyone can handle buying two $70+ fly lines. Just a thought.
