Never used silk lines on any of my split cane rods--Have I missed out on something? Uncle Ed had a 3 pc. Montague "Rapidan" 81/2 ft. rod, Pflueger 1494 reel RHW-and always unspooled the silk line for the Winter "put-away" and then re-dressed it before the April opener-- I can see a silk line for dry fly work, but for nymphing and streamers, I am not so sure. Even if I wanted to use some, how do you match up a silk line with a modern synthetic line, ie" My favorite dry fly rig is: My Pre-fire Leonard 49- Bogdan reel and a Wulffm 4/5 trtiangle taper line and appropriate leaders. So what scale or chart do I need to match the action I get with that combo-- using No. 16 Adams, and No. 20 midges??RWTF
