Contemporary manufacturing methods and materials allow for consistent weight and precise construction, and the clicker drag system is unparalleled in its simplicity and durability.

Natural silk fly lines require a little more care, but the benefits are remarkable. The control and power gained allows for better distances and greater accuracy. The lines are narrower than modern plastic lines allowing for more delicate fly presentation. In addition, you will lift from the water surface quicker and smoother and they are less susceptible to air resistance in windy conditions. Finally, with proper care, silk lines will last longer.
