Stumbled across this in the garage. Must be about 10 years old. Hopefully its still ok to use, will spool it up and see. Fred you dont have any floaters left do you?20240608_115445.jpg

The line might be OK Scott but the plasticisers in the coating may have dried out.

No lines left I'm afraid!

I fear it may degrade quickly once spooled

Worth a try though. I used the same line at The Backwater 2 years ago and it was OK if not really brilliant. Old lines can get a bit wiry. When new these intermediates shot well.

I'm still fishing with two grey ones, different rods, and I am sure I have a grey and a white one in my bag somewhere too :)
Don't worry, be happy.

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

I have a grey one on an old reel. Its knackered though. The floaters were ace

I think the company that made them went belly up during Covid

I'm still using DT floaters in 3 to 6 and still working well.
Did you ever sell a DT hover /slow sinker in a bluish green colour ? I'm trying to identify the line that I use quite often.

Not mine Vaughan, just grey, white and sage green in my old range.
