Silk Fly Line

What materials are these silk fly lines made from?

These fly lines are made from unbleached natural reeled silk, which is the highest grade of silk.

What steps are involved in the production of silk fly lines?

The production process includes skein washing (to remove sericin), dyeing (if applicable), bobbin winding (various deniers), braiding (to construct tapers), trimming and burning loose ends, vacuum impregnation with traditional varnish (mainly linseed oil and natural resins), polishing, adding leader loops, weighing, measuring, and coiling.

Why might these fly lines have small lumps and minor cosmetic marks?

These fly lines are made using traditional methods, which may result in small lumps and minor cosmetic marks. However, each line is thoroughly inspected to ensure it casts well and catches fish.

What can be expected from new silk fly lines during the initial use?

New silk fly lines are usually a bit stiff and rough initially but will become softer and more supple over the first few fishing trips.

How should silk fly lines be treated before each fishing trip?

Before each fishing trip, a thin layer of line grease should be applied to the silk fly line.

How should silk fly lines be treated after fishing?

After fishing, the silk fly lines should be pulled off the reel into loose coils in a cardboard box to dry, or put on a line dryer if available.

What should be done if the silk fly line becomes sticky or tacky?

If the silk fly line becomes sticky or tacky, it should be wiped down with white spirit.

What are 'unfinished' silk fly lines?

'Unfinished' silk fly lines are made from unbleached silk and have not undergone any color or finishing processes. These lines are typically purchased by cane rod builders who want to choose their own line color.

Why should wet silk fly lines not be greased?

Greasing wet silk fly lines can trap moisture inside, leading to rot.

How can the lifespan of silk fly lines be ensured?

Proper care, including regular application of line grease, adequate drying, and cleaning, can ensure the silk fly lines last a lifetime.
