Sharkskin

I hope they replace it with a lesser expensive series so Fredrick will quit making fun of me.
 
I dont doubt some lines cast or present an offering better than lessor i.e. cheaper lines, but I think one has to be a superior caster before that element comes into play- something I think most people are not- and that includes myself.

I dont think a fly line is going to make an average caster better. Not talking about streamer,spey or salt line tapers but just the majority of trout fishing lines.

So, in other words, lie.
And everybody wonders why the cost of FF gear is so high...

Agree on casting, disagree on presenting an offering better. Can I cast better with it? Depends. Certain special casts yes, but any additional distance, no. But it rides high and dry and you can pick up line, mend, etc like a champ. It does handle nice.

I have been checking out this thread, and I just thought I'd chime in. I have a sharkskin on my 10 ft greys and my 4wt bIIx. I will never fish another line, and I've run the all of the lines. They just cast like a champ. I've been fishing the s.skin on my 10 footer since august last year (a ton of use), and it has done an admirable job, through the cold weather too. I'm tough on my equipment, and this is a real gem of a line, in my opinion of course.
