Cortland Classic Sylk Fly Line, Fully Synthetic Fishing Lines, Floating Fly Lines

The 444 Classic Sylk fly line is the first ever fully synthetic fly fishing 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. These fly lines are the perfect choice for any bamboo fly rod.

Skillfully designed for bamboo and fiberglass fly rods, the 444 Classic Sylk fly line is butter-soft and is smaller in diameter than traditional synthetic floating lines, making it the fly fishing line of choice for traditional action rod anglers, including those earlier bamboo fly rods that have smaller guides. With the traditionalist in mind, Cortland’s technicians have designed this line in a color that nearly matches the look of a traditional silk line coated with linseed oil and mucilin. Their suppleness makes them great cold weather lines with virtually any fly rod.

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 taper of the new 444 Classic Sylk is based on traditional silk line designs with long front tapers and longer level tips. Available in WF2F - WF8F and DT2F - DT7F.

Cortland introduces another first with the 444 Classic Series. An all new package that includes an interactive compact disk entitled "Fly Fishing with Cortland". Included with every classic fly fishing line is this CD that will walk you through all the basics of fly line use and will help you choose your next fly line based on both fishing situation and species. The Classic package is a great value and provides an invaluable tool for both the beginning and advanced fly angler.

The 444 is a supple fly line with superior buoyancy and a supple, glass smooth surface that allows for delicate presentation of flies. This is the line of choice for cane, glass and traditional action rod users. The line has a Dacron braid core, is still the traditional peach color and is 30 yards in length. This line is available in both double and weight forward tapers.
