I'm another moron who uses regular mono fishing line! Mostly 6-8 pound test.....a strip about 6-10' long depending on conditions and what I happen to pull off that day. I cast it fine and don't have problems turning over flies.
This guy does the same thing, but he may be crazy -- I'm not sure:

Don't take this as argument with the above at all -- I don't have any idea what I'm talking about, especially with fly fishing. The "x" stuff I fully believe is made more precisely and if I were trout fishing I'd use that instead since I'd be using lighter line and the line quality if probably a lot more critical.

Curious if anyone uses spinning line as a substitute for leaders or tippet. Is this fly fishing taboo? It seems about 10x cheaper, and for less picky fish I wonder if it makes a difference.
