FLY LINES
This is the 2nd in a series discussing fly lines summarized from Bruce Richard\u2019s MODERN FLY LINES.<\/p>\n
COATING<\/p>\n
Primary Basic Coating
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
Polyurethane<\/p>\n
Additives
Micro balloons\/air bubbles-decrease line density, improve floating lines
Powdered tungsten-adjust density for sinking characteristics of sinking-type lines
Lubricants
UV inhibitors
Hydrophobic compounds
Stiffening\/softening agents<\/p>\n
Different core and coating combinations and their interactions allow for designing specific fly line characteristics. For example, both braided monofilament and multifilament nylon are very limp. However, braided monofilament can become stiff when combined with the coating making it ideal for warm saltwater fishing.<\/p>\n
