About Phoenix Silk Fly Lines
Technical Details
The oils and varnishes ensure that the line is waterproof and supple. The Phoenix Line is so stable so that it does not leach linseed oil and become tacky with age.
The special finish produces a line that shoots well, with the minimum of flash and maximizes the added advantage of silk, which gives a smaller diameter for a given weight.
A double tapered profile enables reversal of the line for longer use.
Making silk lines by traditional methods produces the finest product possible. It is very labor intensive and time consuming, much as split cane rod building. If we do not have the specific line ordered in stock, we will advise you of approximate delivery date at time of ordering. Since they are handcrafted in France, orders can take up to 8 - 12 weeks but are definitely worth the wait!

Braided Leader
This is the most effective solution for connecting the ultra fine tip of a silk line to a leader; a braided leader designed specifically for use with silk lines, but equally effective for synthetic lines. It gives a smooth transition from line to leader without hinging.
Simply insert the end of the fly line into the braid, whip a few turns of fly-tying silk around the braid near to the end. Trim of the frayed ends and superglue to finish. Use a loop to loop connection to join the monofilament to the leader.
- Finish: Natural straw
- Braided material in a natural color.
- Size: 160cm
- Approx 160cm, 0.18mm diameter. For silk lines #2 to #6.

Cost $4.50 per container with felt pad, or a case of 10 for $40.00.
"Red Tin" Mucilin (1) $4.50
