Folks - for a new 'toy' :cool: I'm hunting out #3 wt fly lines (DT or more likely a WF) and one I have read next to nothing about, other than the information on Snowbees own website, is the Snowbee XS-DP.
Anyone tried one or got one :?:
I'm hopefully going to get my mitts on a couple of other lines to try out :z3 but the Snowbee line intrigues me and possibly offers something the Partridge Dry and Delicate doesn't...... I dunno :z6

I was looking at that on paper the other day too.
I believe Magnus has tried the 5wt version and its pretty good, just have to watch FF&FT for a review.
I know the rod it's for,so wait and try the new addition to the Mallard range, it was designed on the rod's very similar cousin :wink:
They should be here soon.
Mind you i'd like to try the DP too, i reckon the my 5wt would love it.Nice pale olive colour too.

Unfortunately I've not used the line - just looked at the spec. & it does appear interesting.
I do however use Snowbee XS floaters on my 4 , 5 & 6 WT rods and would 100% endorse these - casts well & arguably the 'straightest' line I've ever used (garage is full of lines that didn't jive in one way or another).
If you do try it, I for one would be interested in your verdict.
Happy casting

..... and then again where do you get one :?: No-one seems to list the XS-DP online :shock: I'll maybe email Snowbee :idea: see if they've got one for testing purposes :wink:

You can buy them direct from the Snowbee site. You wont get then any cheaper anywhere else as they do not let people discount their lines, even on e-bay.
