I have been fishing with the 444 for over 30 years now and the 444 is still my go to floating line from #2-6 weights. I do prefer a wf over the the dt. Cortland got it right when they developed the 444 and they have been smart enough to stick with a good thing.
I would check out the fishin' hole for Cortland lines
The older offerings like 333 and 444 proven performers. I used the 444 for years and in all honesty it is better than most of the latest fad stuff. I picked up a 444 for a floating line on my 8 wt Xi2 thinking I didn't use it much and would save money. I forgot how nicely it casts and wouldn't trade it straight up for a "better" line as it suits this rod perfectly.
Their new stuff gets excellent reviews as well. The Trout Boss is apparently a weight forward line that is well liked for fast and very fast action rods. The Omni-verse has a long rear taper and gets equally good reviews. I will be trying the Omni-verse next time I need a fly line for my dry fly rod.
