Scientific Anglers™ pioneering work with 3M Microballoons revolutionized the way fly lines float, and they continue to use this breakthrough technology in all of their floating fly lines. They also employ advanced hydrophobic agents that help repel water and increase floatation, which is further enhanced by the way they entrap air inside the fly line core. No other floating fly lines provide so many clear and unique technological and performance advantages.
AST - Advanced Shooting Technology - is 3M's patented dry-slick coating that prevents dirt and algae from clinging to the line, which allows the fly lines to stay cleaner and float higher for longer intervals. AST coated lines are so exceptionally slick they produce less friction through the rod guides. The results are easier casting and better shooting.
Higher floating. Smoother casting. Softer landing. Better fishing. With Dry Tip Technology you get the perfect combination of exceptional floatation and easy-casting fishability.
Streamlined Loops are so smooth and sleek you wont notice them - and neither will the fish. Exceptionally thick and strong, the new welded Streamline Loops produce smoother casts and easier turnover with a seamless fly-line-to-loop transition that also make for softer landings and cleaner pick-ups. The sleek design also maintains buoyancy for improved fly line floatation.
Introducing the ultimate fly line technology. Superior shootability created by vastly reduced friction through rod guides. Microtextured surfaces trap air to improve floatation, reduce drag on line pickup, and shed water on backcast. Microreplication synergizes with patented AST chemistry to strenghten coating integrity and increase durability of line. |
