Anglers Roost? I have that same reel and I have a 7'6" 5 wt as well. Actually two of them and extra tips but not from Anglers.
The older boos had smaller guides than the modern do so they went with silk which is a thinner diameter.
Not needed these days. I like your idea of Wulff. I am not a big fan of TT though.
I use SYLK or Selective Trout on mine. Cortland Peach is another favorite for boos.
I also prefer WF though as I like the thinner diameter sooner.
Not that you need to cast distance with any rod, but I figure if I can cast at least 60', the rest is cake. I did manage 68' with a side wind and the Selective Trout.
I might have some SYLK in a 5 is you want to try it first.
