Well I have fished lines from super cheap to the almost finest fly lines, lets call them yugos through the buicks (but not the cadiallacs). IMO if you are just getting into it, I'd try the very line you are looking at and (shock!) mebbe even something like you'd find on clearance at WalMart. Once you dial it in, then you'll have a lot better sense of where you want to go when you buy your second line for that rod. BTW I just used the Prestige line on a rod I took to Alaska for salmon, and it worked just fine. I don't think any of the snobs on the same trip had a clue, and I wasn't going to tell them either.
