My best ever!

I think this fly line is the absolute best I've ever had. I've now bought it for my three favorite reels/rods! I highly recommend it.. :) Ps: I even went up a class on one of my stiffer rods, and it's almost enough with a single back cast to shoot out at least half the reel.. Joy!

Easy to use line, got the first brown trout of the season on the 2. Drift.
Works well in windy conditions, line always lands dead straight.

16 years since I fished a dry fly and using a fly rod. So impressed with how the line performed.

I have recently moved to the EZ Back Cast from the Proline to enable me to cast in the very restrictive areas with limited backlash and overhanging tree in the summer season, at Rockbourne.
What a revolation this has been!
The Big fish hide when pressured and the EZ Back Cast has handed the advantage Back to the me, as you can see, Spartic; 9lb 14ozs, from Rockbourne Trout fishery, superb specimen and a truly super fly line, thank you.

The EZ backcast line is performing well here in the Western Lakes region of Tasmania. I have used it for both wet and dry flies and find it presents well on both methods. However I have now decided to dedicate it to my wet fly rod for its ability to throw large wets in windy conditions.
All in all very with it.

Performing far better than expected!

I loaded up my 6-weight EZ Back Cast expecting to gain some distance and better control of my casts. In many places here in eastern Tennessee, I target some fairly large predatory Brown trout that are tremendously pressured. To say they are spooky is an understatement. Long casts of 50’ or more to get to them without spooking them is absolutely required. Making casts that distance is hampered even further by trees on the back cast.
Using this new line has enabled me to keep my backcasts under 20-30 feet and shoot far more line than I could with my Orvis or SA lines. Reaching the target is one thing, making it land softly and accurately is another. This line takes all the pressure off both of those issues.
Setting the hook on a 24+ inch bruiser is no problem as this line has just enough rigidity to securely hook up and not be concerned about line stretch.
This is now definitely my go-to predator line for big Browns but I’m certain it will also perform even better going after some big smallmouth bass this spring!

Thank you, Sunray!

nothing but praise for your fly fishing lines

Hi,
As I've been a customer now for a few month's and have nothing but praise for your fly fishing lines,leaders,line slick and two pair of your sunglasses, firstly your low light sunglasses are brilliant for overcast days and late evening spinner hatches on penstock lagoon, your fly lines are second to none, but thats just my personal preference and experience over using your fly lines,s in particular the easy back cast and the over hang markers make it all to easy to cast 30m plus with accuracy and with less back casting the better, the less fish you spook the more fish you catch.
Just some more photos of trout caught using your gear
Kind regards, Craig, Australia.

Great line for beginners.

I've only been fly fishing for about two years and always struggled with casting. This line popped up on my Facebook page and after watching a few videos I bought one. It was expensive for me as a beginner but I was able to spread it out over four payments which was great. As for the line, it was a game changer for me. Even in windy conditions I was able to get the line out a good distance. I would recommend this line to beginners and seasoned vets alike. I am about to purchase the bung floating line next and the magnified sunglasses next. Quality hear and highly recommended.

What a great review Michael, it really means a lot to hear that Sunray lines are making such a difference and putting the enjoyment back into the sport. You've found a way to make the art of fly fishing a lot easier. Thanks from all at Sunray HQ.

WOW

I've never wrote a review before but here goes. I got out today for the first time with this line and it is amazing for casting distance. I've only been fly fishing for about 2 years and always have trouble casting. This line does exactly as it says on the tin. You can literally throw the entire line out in one cast. My rod and reel cost less than this line but I swear it's my most expensive purchase I've made fly fishing. It is worth every penny. When I bought the line it let me pay in installments, its like £17 every fortnight. Once I pay this one off I'm gonna order another.

Delighted to hear the EZ Back Cast has made such a difference to you. Thanks for taking the time to leave us this lovely review, from all at Sunray HQ. Email us next time you order and I'll add you a CamoTrucker cap to your order.

More than I expected - a fantastic addition to my fly fishing kit!

I fish the Welsh Dee for Sea trout. I typically use a 10 ft 8 or 7 wt rod - and due to the nature of the river - I need the option of both spey casting and overhead casting. I've tried regular Weight Forwards (Airflo, Snowbee) and Single handed Spey (Maxcatch) - but have been looking out for a line with a good short head that can enable casting with very limited back cast or space for a d-loop. I'm very impressed with the EZ Back Cast - especially when it comes to overhead casting - it just shoots out and although I wasn't convinced about the overhang marker from the advertising, it does make life a lot easier. I had the line down the Dee today and it gave me great coverage - much better than other lines - and I managed a couple of sea trout to christen the line. I was worried it might be very splashy with the short head - but as suggested, the presentation is nice and clean. It even handled a 5ft salmon fast sink poly leader and a 3 inch sunray no bother - turnover was no problem! What a great start. I'd also like to thank Sunray's Customer service, who were very kind to sort me out the line when there was an issue with stock availability -so thank you. All the best, Patrick.

Fantastic review and photo Patrick. Your comments are very helpful to our customers when selecting a line, and very much appreciated by all at Sunray HQ.

I've been fly fishing for close to 40 years and these really are a game changer

I've been fly fishing since I was 6 and by 10 I could cast a 6 weight spey line to the backing. Sadly when I was 12 I had an accident that resulted in a lot of surgery, including reconstruction of my right (dominant) arm. Since then I couldn't cast to save my life due to restrictive mobility in my right arm and wrist. Terrible casts, coils behind and in front, I simply couldn't do it any more. Fishing aside I used to - and still do - struggle using a knife when eating dinner. All is not lost, I loved my course fishing in that time.
I met a chap that worked for Greys, I explained my situation and he recommend a certain rod and a Sunray line, not one of Greys own lines. He recommended the EX back cast so I bought it to go with my Greys rod and reel combo. I wont lie to you but after my third cast I was casting to the backing perfectly straight and i cried as I was back to what I could do when I was a child. Really these are great lines for restrictive back casts but the real strength is for people like me that have restricted mobility and possibly a disability.
Just buy these lines, they are amazing.
Sunray, you have brought back to me a passion I thought I couldn't have again, and it was a competitor of yours that recommended you. Thank you to Greys too.

Casts great! Shoots tons of line out even on windy days. Only downside is tip sinks and then pulls leader and eventually fly under esp in faster water compared to my other floating lines.

Lock ez back cast line

Due to only having one leg, I sit too fish. I started using the no knot EZ backcast lines last year. It has improved my casting immensely and I will be continuing to use them going forward. I would highly recommend giving them a try if your worried about the price start by using the standard EZ backcast it's just as good as the no knot but cheeper as your not getting the seamless line to backing.
