Bamboo-Specific Fly Lines

Just like the fly lines designed for today's ultra high modulus graphite rods, lines for bamboo rods must be specialized. While we're happy to see both classic bamboo and fiberglass rod manufacturing flourish into the 21st century, fly lines designed for bamboo have lagged behind. Only a few manufacturers have come out with lines that maximize the smooth, classic feel of a bamboo fly rod. Thankfully, Cortland, with the SYLK Fly Line, and Wulff, with the Triangle Taper, have stepped it up. Finally, a couple of line choices that are designed with the bamboo angler in mind. We've been making due with suboptimal bamboo lines for a while now, and we think you'll agree that the SLYK and the Triangle Taper are what you've been searching for.
