Throwing Feathers with a Teeny

I spent the last few days testing a new Redington Delta 11-12 fly reel and their new CPX 10 wt, 9 foot fly rod. I spooled the Delta with a Teeny Pro Series floating 10 wt Permit line designed by Bruce Chard and Jim Teeny. Well the Delta and the CPX performed flawlessly in part because they are both very good pieces of equipment and partly because of the Teeny Fly Line.

If you are an experienced fly angler you know that having a balanced combo is a must. There are many new advancements in fly fishing gear and it's sometimes difficult to keep up with all of them. As a fly line manufacturer, Jim Teeny has no choice to not only keep up, but to be a leader in the high tech fly line world. And believe me, there is plenty of worthy competition willing to throw big development bucks at new projects to get an edge. We as anglers benefit from this but more importantly is the 'how' Teeny Fly Lines stays ahead of the competition.

Jim Teeny, an excellent world class fly angler, realized that there is a wealth of knowledge available to be found in the great guides from around the world and he works with them to get their insight as to what characteristics would make a fly line great for a specific species of fish. Over the years Jim Teeny has developed some very outstanding fly lines for just about any kind of fly fishing that you want to do and for any species of fish. Fantastic in itself as it is, even better is the performance that he has achieved in his fly lines which leads me to the F-10 Permit line that I used in my testing.

Lefty Kreh told me that you cast with your line hand and that being said, it makes it all about the line and your timing. Precise timing requires a balanced combo and the right fly line for the situation and that is what Teeny brings to the table. I found that the F-10 Permit line is fantastic for throwing big feathers great distances which is required for permit and tarpon alike. Equally important is accuracy that you won't achieve with a lesser line.

Another important characteristic that I like about the Teeny Fly Lines and have done so for many years, is the behavior of the line finish. I use the word behavior because the elements that I fish in can change how a line behaves or casts when it is very hot here in the tropics. I get into the backcountry bayous where the springs well up from the ground at a cool 60 degrees or so. It's 90 degrees outside and the line is going to be subjected to many temperature changes for example. The line never became gummy or sticky and this allows for much better line control and casting. Loop control and roll over are essential elements to good casting and this line is no exception in its performance.

If you are looking for an exceptionally fantastic performing line I would strongly suggest that you try this line from Teeny Fly Lines. By the way, the price is an equally great value too. Check out all of Teeny Fly Lines at www.JimTeeny.com  you'll be glad that you did.
