Looking for some 5wt line recommendations
I'm wondering what 5wt line y'all would recommend for a beginner, and also what leader (either specific lines or just good brands). I'm looking for something entry level as I'm just gonna be putting it on a cheap Souyangilang combo I was gifted. I saw Rio Gold WF5 being recommended in some posts I saw while just looking for Google results, but I have no clue about the value proposition of that vs whatever lines exist. If it helps at all, I'm fishing in Southern New England, primarily for trout (rainbow, brook, tiger, etc) and probably panfish as a by-catch. Any recommendations would appreciated, thanks.
