I hope this isn't considered an off topic reply, but here is my take on the thinner diameter design fly lines both classic and modern. Can't comment on the "sunray" line up, however I have fished this thinner type of line since the early 70's in the English made Masterlines "Chaulk Stream" and it's American produced Sunset "Ultimate". They are the closest plastic lines can come to mimicking true silk lines. They are what I refer to as low floating floating lines. They are best used in flat water trout fishing as they float suspended in the surface film and not on or above it like a high floater. I do use mine in all types of water fast, slow, flat or broken surfaces. One does have to get used to the appearance of the very tips of these lines floating in the top inch of the water column, I do use Muclin on the first 12" of the line to keep it up. The sunray site claims a coating that helps float the tip. I get lots of weird looks and comments from my companions when they see how my lines float, asking me why it's sinking? However, these lines are great casting lines, good for delicate presentations(lack of mass) and they cut the through the wind very very well, due to the thinner diameter having less wind resistance. Sorry, I couldn't comment directly about Sunray lines, but I like these style of lines are very much. As an aside 406 lines are made in this thinner style Respectfully rvreclus
