Morning All-
Does anyone on the list use silk lines? I just read an
article in the Jan/Feb issue of American Angler about
them. The article had some very interesting
information on how the evolution of flyline materials
forced changes in rod construction and casting
techniques.
The author's description of the casting
characteristics of silk lines sounds very intriguing.
Just wondered if any of you guys (and gals) currently
use silk or used it in the past. He also mentions some
of the drawbacks such as proper care of the line and
so on. The biggest drawback seems to be price, though.
Costs range from $90 for a 1/2 line (15 meters) from a
company called Thebault to over $200 (yikes!) from a
company called Phoenix. Both companies are in France.
Just being curious. Any responses are appreciated.
