Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm an 80+ day per year fly fisherman, and I indulge my passion in both fresh and salt water. Recently I spent a week in Patagonia fishing for brown trout and used the Sharkskin in 4, 5 and 6 weight iterations with great success. Some first impressions:
1) The line loads easily for close in casting and shoots like a dream. On the first day, I found myself overcasting many trout.
2) Because of the lines' pebbled and dimpled constuction, roll casting and take away are enhanced.
3)This dimpling creates what was an initially annoying "zing" sound, much like that of a bow on a violin string. I got used to it, but my guide found it annoying. In addition, while not a factor with trout lines, this textured line could easily burn fingers while fighting a bolting bonefish or an angry tarpon.
4) SA claims this uber priced line will outlast conventional lines by a wide margin. Due to my limited experience, I cannot attest to that claim.
In summary, I contend this line is more than a novelty. It refines the Airflo design concept used in their "tactical ridge line series" - lines I have also fished. If you need the hot new thing and can get used to its singing properties, you'll probably want one, or more!
