I have used an orvis intermediate line for years and it has held up very well. Does the 300 grain line cast ok with your 6 weight? Is there much of a sag in the depth charge? The Rio folks told me that the six weight deep 7 was lightest weight that they made and because of that the coating was the thinnest of any of their lines . I thought about going up to a seven to see if I could get some more life out of it. The last deep seven I fished from August with about 140 hours on it and you could see the core in spots along with some cracking within 15' of the end. I use the fast sinking line probably more than any of the others but I should still be able to get a couple of years out of one. Thanks for the ideas.
