Featuring 3M's proprietary microreplication technology, Sharkskin is a radical surface modification that provides superior shootablility, enhanced floatation, minimal memory, and maximum durability. This means less drag, easier mending, stronger roll casts, quicker pick-ups and, eventually, more fish. Sharkskin lines were designed with our extreme anglers in mind.

We have a taper that covers just about any fishing situation you may encounter with a two-handed rod. Dredging a heavy sink tip? No problem, our Skagit Heads can handle it. Need a Scandi Head for your switch rod? Got that one too. Tend to prefer touch and go casts - yup, covered it. Not only do we have tapers that cover just about any situation you might find here in the US, we've expanded our offering to handle anything you may find Worldwide.
These lines provide a versatile experience and are optimized for the bargain-conscious generalist. Featuring Streamlined Loops and our patented AST technology, these are great 'go to' lines.
With optimal line density for improved floatation, the Professional series is well-recognized and offers proven performance, making this series an exceptional value.
More than 50 years ago, SA invented the modern floating fly line with the Air Cel Series and since then anglers continue to rely on it consistent performance and great value.
SA Technologies
Advanced Shooting Technology (AST)
Our patented dry slick technology sets the standards for slickness, and AST provides continual line slickness allowing the line to shoot farther as it moves virtually friction-free through the guides. You may learn more on our AST - Advanced Shooting Techology feature page.
Dry Tip Technology
Scientific Anglers' Dry Tip Technology leverages a unique 3M Microballoon™ formulation for the absolute highest levels of floatation. Learn more on our Dry Tip Technology feature page.
Microballoons
These proprietary microscopic glass bubbles are added to the coatings of all Scientific Anglers floating fly lines to optimize line floatation by effectively trapping air inside the core and to provide precise control over the density of each line.
Scientific Anglers Line Identification (SA•ID)
As a result of our lab's mission to continually improve our lines, we bring you SA ID. SA ID is an innovative line marking system allowing you to identify your lines at a glance. Wonder if a shooting head is 200 grain or a 300? Just look at the SA ID. Check out the SA•ID feature page for more information or click here to find your SA•ID.
Streamlined Loops
Exceptionally slick and strong, our welded Streamlined Loops produce smoother casts and easier turnover with a seamless fly-line-to-loop transition making for softer landings and cleaner pickups. Learn more on our Streamlined Loops feature page.
Taper Diagrams
A fly line has more influence on your cast than any other piece of equipment in your arsenal. That's why choosing the right fly line should not be taken lightly. It can, however, be confusing. We've created a taper chart to simplify the process. Within the chart, you'll find the optimum temperature use, taper specs, and "bottom-line" benefit of each line is highlighted. Print out the charts, use them as a guide.
