Lines for Bamboo rods

[flyguyfl]

Do most of you when using 4 or 5 wt rods in smaller streams use double tapers, or wt forward lines? Getting back into bamboo....

Weight forward, but it's based on the type of waters I usually fish, rather than the rod material.

The Cortland Sylk lines were designed for bamboo rods. I like the line. It has low memory. Not everyone agrees. There are a lot of reviews online.

I use a Scientific Angler Trout DT line
on my Sharp 7ft rod.

I like the old peach Cortland 333 lines. Generally I like DT, but WF is OK - I'm easy. Not so crazy about the Sylk lines, but I got one of the early ones and I heard that the newer ones are better.
