Default Silk line diameter


Ken I had the idea to use it on a slow rod because I think a silk
Ken line presents long leaders and small flies better than plastic
Ken lines. The idea to use the silk line on a relatively fast Sage
Ken RPL to do battle with the wind was, how shall I say it, "herbally
Ken inspired". ;-)

The traditional way to create pieces of art and make significant
discoveries. Even some real ones.

Ken It is something of a hassle however. When I lived in a cabin on
Ken the stream all summer I installed cup hooks under the eaves of
Ken the cabin so that I could take it off the reel every day, string
Ken it up under the eaves and let it dry overnight.

Yes, it sounds like something to do when having access to reasonably
good facilities. Ideal on daytrips on small streams near home.

I have heard that when taken good care of, the silk lines can last at
least twice as long as the plastic ones, so maybe I could justify it
like that. It's like explaining my own actions afterwards: I've always
been creative enough to find an acceptable story.
