Sharkskin™ is one of the most innovative fly lines ever made by Scientific Anglers™ and is a true revolution in fly-line design. You won't believe how good this fly line performs until you take it out and start casting. Micro replicated structures in the line reduce friction, improve floatation, boost dutability, eliminate flare and repel water. When it comes time to shoot line, Sharkskin delivers effortless distance by reducing friction through the rod guides. The microtextured coating increases surface area and repellency, allowing the line to sit higher on the water. The improved water shedding also makes for effortless mending. Patented AST chemistry combined with the line texture strenghtens the coating durability. The textured surtace also disperses light and reduces the chance of spooking fish.
