I'm using a RIO Tropical Bonefish line

DD, for the most part, the flies aren't that big, i use a Wulff TT, i can turn over bigger flies or put smaller ones down with finesse. Of course i use this line for other species more than carp.

Still using an old Sage Saltwater Performance Taper WF line on a 6 wgt rod. Yeah, I know carp are not saltwater, but I moved here from Rhode Island ........

I am pretty sure Rio's Redfish and Carp taper are exactly the same, if I remember correctly from when they were introduced, just different colors.  They may have slightly different plastic formulations, but fwiw I have used the Redfish for years and like it fine.  My carp are getting spookier thanks to pressure and it may be time to go down to a finer tipped line.
