Scientific Anglers Sharkwave Saltwater Taper Fly Line

The Scientific Anglers introduced the SharkWave fly lines, creating an entirely new category of product: triple-textured fly lines. These lines, developed and manufactured at the Scientific Anglers facility in Midland, Michigan, represented one of the most interesting and groundbreaking evolutions in the history of fly line technology.

The benefits of the textured lines were numerous: increased surface area allowed the lines to sit higher in the water offering less drag, easier mending, less water spray, and easier pick-ups; the micro-textured surface trapped air to provide increases in both shootability and flotation-all while decreasing friction; and the micro-replicated pattern increased the durability of the lines, allowing them to last up to twice as long.

Using what they learned while developing the Sharkskin lines, they created the SharkWave, the world's first Triple-Textured and Triple-Colored fly line. Featuring Sharkskin texture on the tip section, Mastery Textured divots for the belly and running line, a smooth Tactile Reference Point at the AFTMA 30-foot mark, SA-ID line identification, AST dry slick technology, Improved Dry Tip technology, and Streamlined Loops, the SharkWave is unlike any fly line Scientific Anglers has ever produced. It's fishing. Friction-free.

• Features Dry Tip technology: microscopic balloons for enhanced float
• Sharkskin surface technology traps air for reduced density
• Patented Dry Slick AST formula allows lines to shed dirt and cast farther
• Streamlined Loops provide extra line strength and smoother casts
• Tactile Reference Point (30-in. non-embossed section) at
