A splitcane and a silk fly line are a perfect match – OR you go for the 444 Sylk by Cortland. The first modern fly line designed specifically for bamboo rods.
This line combines the classic look and feel of a silk fly line with modern technologies and an ultra smooth Double Taper profile. The results are super tight loops and long, delicate presentations. Whether you prefer casting overhead, roll casting or switching! Like no other taper a DT can transfer the energy from your rod to your leader and fly so gently. It's tough to beat the precision and accuracy of this fly line. Therefor the 444 Sylk is a no brainer when targeting spooky Trout or Grayling.´with tiny patterns (e.g. CDC flies).
Since 1915 Cortland lines are well known for their high-quality and long lasting coatings. The 444 Sylk is connecting this long heritage with today's technologies. A harmonic fly line for dry fly lovers and fans of Bamboo rods – or soft fiber glass or carbon rods. 'Dry or die' was never that much fun!
