Leland on Scientific Anglers Trout Fly Fishing Line
When a big cruiser is gently sipping tricos and you need a light
touch, you better reach for the Trout line. Designed for maximum
turnover this line puts the fly right where you want it. No more
puddles or unintended curves here.
Specifications:
- Type of Taper: Weight Forward Floating
- Total Length: 90 ft
- Core: Braided multifilament nylon with optimum air entrapment for minimum memory with maximum floatation
- Coating: Specially formulated 3M PVC integrated with patented AST - Advanced Shooting Technology
- Color: Dark Willow
Leland on Freshwater Floating Lines
Contemporary
floating lines employ microballons, tiny buoyant additives that
decrease the density of the line, to ensure floatation. Air entrapment
in the braided core further increases buoyancy and hydrophobic agents
in the coating also repel water. RIO has developed a new formula, while
proprietary and may not include microballons, still utilizes the same
theory by controlling density and diameter manufacturers keep your line
where it needs to be to get the strike - on the surface.
Leland on Freshwater Lines
The varied habitats of freshwater fish (and
especially the trout's) require a wide range of line designs for
effective fishing. Luckily for the modern angler, engineers at Rio,
Sage, and Scientific Anglers have thought up a line for every possible
freshwater situation. Whether the line is tapered for distance (Expert
Distance, RIO Gold), general purpose (GPX, Trout, Rio Gold, Sage
Performance II), delicate presentation (XPS, Sage Quiet Double Taper
II), technique specific (Nymph, Stillwater, Rio DC Sinking lines), or
otherwise, these lines deliver high performance for every outing. These
new lines employ a soft braided multifilament core for low memory, easy
mends and line handling as well as PVC coatings, enhanced super slick
processing which allows the line to slip effortlessly through the
guides, maximizing control and accuracy. With developments like these,
putting the fly in front of the fish has never been easier.

Scientific Anglers on AST Technology
"The 'dry-slick' coating that enhances every aspect of floating line performance.
Integrated
within the line coating, amazing AST - Advanced Shooting Technology -
has redefined fly-line performance by achieving a unique 'dry'
slickness that keeps the line permanently slick and continuously clean.
Try an AST line just once, and nothing else will do.
Floats Higher
The
dry slickness of AST prevents dirt and algae from clinging to line,
which means line stays cleaner and floats higher for longer intervals.
Shoots Better
AST
is lightning slick for the fastest, smoothest shooting of your life.
With AST, line shoots virtually friction-free through the guides and
keeps on doing it for the life of the line - without dressing.
Casts Farther
Line
shoots through the guides with minimum impediment for exceptional
distance. And cleaner AST lines fly through the air with minimum
resistance.
Stays Cleaner
Unlike
silicone-coated lines and dressed lines, the AST coating doesn't give
dirt and algae anything to cling to, so line stays free of debris that
can ruin performance.
Lasts Longer
The
AST coating is inherently more durable. And because line stays so clean
and free of debris with AST, the line itself is significantly less
prone to wear and corrosion.
Mastery Series Floating Lines,
all with AST, are comprised of a PVC mixture with 3M Microballoons™ and
the dry AST compound right to the core. Integral within the coating,
AST will never wear off or wash off. It's always slick.
AST-formulated slow-sinking lines
use a delicate balance of PVC mixed with the dry AST compound. This
unique combination makes our Bonefish, Tarpon, and Striped Bass tapers
the best-performing slow-sinking lines in fly fishing."

It starts with fly
line, where we focus our technological expertise on formulating
superior cores and coatings. We also lead the industry in designing
tapers best suited to specific fly fishing applications. We apply that
same advanced polymer and copolymer technology into our Scientific
Anglers™ leaders and tippet material. Together, our line, leader and
tippet add up to the finest matching system in fly fishing. Our reels
are also the beneficiaries of vast experience and a commitment to
quality unsurpassed in the industry - a commitment we've now extended
into innovative fly boxes, fly tying tools, rod & reel cases,
packs, gear bags and essential Fly Fishing Accessories and DVDs &
Videos. Of course, our library of educational media is one of the most
trusted sources of help in fly fishing.
