Found the below at an orvis outlet near me, guy had no idea what it was and there was no tag so he gave it to me. Obviously some kind of line segment, but anyone have any idea what it is? Santa brought a 13ft 7wt this year, and I don't have a floating tip---any chance this is an outlet miracle?

Silver label or wonderline buckskin line. Late 90s through early 00s.

Matt,

That might work, but I would look at a tip like SA or Rio and check it's grain wt relative to its length. Then weigh your section until you reach the desired length/grain ratio.
