Is it just me or have silk lines gone way up in price in the last,
say, 5 years. Seems like I bought mine for $90 which seemed like a
ripoff at the time (not that it stopped me) but that was nothing
compared to the $250ish today.


You'd have to be a complete fool to pay that much for a flyline.

It's a great fly line, it may sound expensive but properly
taken care of it will outlast 5 or 6 plastic lines. All I
have to do now is live long enough to realize the cost
benefit. ;-)


The SA sharkskin also outlasts conventional lines by 6x. And is only
$100. And casts farther.
