When you look through the list of innovations that Scientific Anglers™ are responsible for, you realize that they represent not only the history of fly fishing, but also its future. No other company has been responsible for so many great products that simplify the sport and help boost productivity:

  • Plastic coated tapered fly lines
  • Microballoon technology to improve floating fly lines
  • Balanced rod/reel/line combination systems
  • The use of tungsten to weight sinking fly lines, instead of lead
  • The use of silicone coatings to improve shooting characteristic
  • Scientific Anglers' Advanced Shooting Technology (AST)
  • Monocore clear sinking fly lines
  • And most recently, the use of micro-textured line coatings to improve distance, handling qualities, and floatation (their new Sharkskin™ lines)

Scientific Anglers System 2LA reel

With such great fly lines, it's easy to overlook the other products that Scientific Anglers™ makes: their famous System™ fly reels (the most popular fly reels in history), premium fly leaders & tippet material, backing, fly boxes, fly line dressing, and even insect repellent.

But like their fly lines, these products are all innovative, outstanding performers, and deserve your attention. Be sure to take a look!
