Peter....
I'll be interested in Tom's answer as well.
My take:
1.) All these are good lines and have models built for tropic use with a UV filter in the coating. I'd also add the Cortland, TROPIC PLUS lines.
In casting the TCR with the Airflow, DELTA-POLYFUSE, I found that it handled well. For average use, I'd have a tough time choosing between the others....a matter of personal preference.
I find that loading the TCR rods with one size lighter line works great for long casts, and OK for short ones, too. If I were in need of mostly short, " quick casts"....as for tarpon which suddenly appear just a few feet away, I'd load it with the size to match the rod......even one size greater.

2.) On the Galway cast, I'd look at it as the double haul.

Hi Tom... You guys are busy with your mail and getting ready for Nov. In case you haven't heard Bob and I will both be there and looking foward to helping out in any way we can. We'll be arriving Wed. evening 11/16th I have a couple of ? for both of you. With the TCR Sage rod what would be your all around 1st choice of floating line for the tropics ...TT,SA,Sage or Airflow...other? I'm hearing a lot of guides preferring the TT.
On the galway cast when you haul with 2 forward cast would that be a single or double haul? Thanks..Peter
