RRP £55.00The Cortland 444 Classic Sylk fly line is the first ever fully synthetic fly line to recreate the original appearance and unique performance of the finest natural silk lines from the past 100 years - without all the maintenance and high cost.
Skillfully designed for the traditional angler and those demanding the ultimate in presentation, the 444 Classic Sylk fly line is incredibly soft and supple, and has a smaller diameter than traditional synthetic floating lines.
This makes it the line of choice for traditional action rods, including those earlier rod designs that have smaller guides. With the traditionalist in mind, Cortlands technicians have designed this line in a colour that nearly matches the look of a traditional silk line which used to be coated with linseed oil and mucilin. Their suppleness makes them great cold weather lines with virtually any fly rod.
The taper of the new 444 Classic Sylk is based on traditional silk line designs with long front tapers and longer level tips.
As part of the new 444 Classic Series, each Sylk line purchased comes free with an interactive CD-ROM titled Fly-Fishing with Cortland.
*The Cortland 444 Classic Sylk lines were awarded winners at the 2004 Fly Tackle Dealer show.
