Hi,
I just came across a Cortland "Climax" flyline. How do they compare
with the "444", are they as good, worse, anybody used one?


Not listed on the Cortland website. Must be some ancient or fake product.

Or not a Cortland product: http://www.climaxusa.com/Fly_Lines.html


Its affiliated with Cortland if not fully owned. IIRC they were
acquired by Cortland about 5 years ago. Here's a link to Cortland's
outlet store where they sell products from there own line and the
lines of their affiliates:

I remember because at the time my favorite tippet materials were
Cortland Presentation and Climax and when I read about the merger in a
flyfishing rag I was left wondering which of my favorites would
disappear.


g.c.

Who now uses the German made Cortland 333 tippet material so it no
longer makes any difference.
