        <![CDATA[ I was attracted by the low price to an ebay auction for an old level silk fly line that had never been used. It was on a Montgomery Ward spool and was labeled
&quot;Wards Supreme Quality- Japan Silk Fly Line- Level- 25 yards&quot;

It was described as a size C, but when I looked at the photograph closely (I had to enlarge it to see the difference) I realized that it was a size G. A 3wt
rather than an 8wt making it very usable for me.

In any event, I won the auction at $34.50 (shame on me).... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ralph beat me to it. A level silk with a furled leader creates a cross between a WF and a DT. More aggressive than a DT with the short front taper provided by
the leader only. And because of the small size differential, very applicable to light lines. Don ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ What you say is absolutely true..... but.....  The &quot;but&quot; is that for lighter lines... i.e. 4wt and down you&#39;re in good shape... due to the fact
that there is so little difference in weight between a tapered front end and a level mid on say a DT.  But as the line size goes up that differential becomes
greater, and thus more noticable.  You can still get around the problem by the marriage of a silk furled leader and a level line.  I&#39;ve played that game up
