Subject: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Noob Question: Line Choice

Good Morning TPFR,

I'm new to fly fishing, have a 9ft 5WT TFO Rod and TFO Prism reel. The guy I bought the (used) reel from said it had a "standard 5Wt weight forward line," but unfortunately I was not smart enough to ask what kind, or how long it's been on the reel?

It seems to cast reasonably, and I've caught a few bluegill, small mouth, and large mouth bass, but with Christmas a couple months away, I was thinking of making gift giving easy for my wife and asking for a new Fly line.

With that in mind, I see all sorts of WF5Wt options from Scientific Angler, Rio, Orvis, TFO, and others at prices ranging from $29 to $100... Any thoughts on what to buy? If you have a recommendation, would you please help me understand why you recommend A vs B?

Additionally, I've seen some commentary on going up 1 weight and putting a 6WT line on a 5WT Rod? Any thoughts there?

Thanks,

Dave

I apologize if this question is covered elsewhere in the forum and my searches didn't find something that's already posted.
