Don't do it, line is the most important part in fly fishing after the rod. My first fly fishing outfit was a cheap deal, and I did OK but after getting a better one, (better rod, line and reel) I can cast much better and present the fly better to those trout, especially dries!!! Anyways IMO if you can afford it get a better quality line.
I'll give you my perspective:
I have a mediocre rod and a mediocre reel...the only thing I concerned myself with was getting a line that is fantastic for my intended application. I figured if I can get the cast effectively and easily to the fish with a good presentation, that's all I need and I'll be in a good position to figure out the rest.
The right line for how/where I fish has made a world of difference for me.
You won't believe the increase in your ability once you try higher quality fly fishing gear. It really makes a difference.
the $12 fly line is found on ebay. It is made in china and is advertised in several weights and cofigurations.$12.00 dollar fly line? Never heard of or consider using such a thing. You'll do a lot better with better stuff. Let's say you go out and pick yourself up a $100.00 dollar fly combo with rod, reel and line which, btw, is a great thing to start out with. With that equipment you will eventually reach a plateau on your skill level. You won't believe the increase in your ability once you try higher quality fly fishing gear. It really makes a difference.
