Scientific Anglers

Scientific Anglers

Scientific Anglers, now a division of 3-M, was founded in 1945 by avid fly fishermen who knew the sport well and knew what the customer wanted. The founders realized that sometimes anglers want the line to sink and sometimes to float. Old fly lines were made of silk, had limited float capacity, would sink once they were soaked and took a long time to dry out. Scientific Anglers invented the first true floating fly lines, giving the angler more control. Schools of fishermen would crowd the stores to purchase this new product from Scientific Anglers. Other innovative products followed: sinking lines, shooting lines, tapered lines, the first balanced rod and reel system. Today Scientific Anglers is leading the way again with thinner, stronger lines, silicone-coated lines, see-through waterproof fly boxes, line-to-leader "simple twist" connectors and pre-rigged systems. Scientific Anglers has also eliminated the use of lead in sinking lines, helping to protect our waterways. At the epicenter of the fly fishing world today, Scientific Anglers doesn't have to fish for compliments… they caught their limit a long, long time ago.

Nice fly box with clear lids on both sides so that you can actually see your flies. The latch is slightly stiff to operate and I wonder if it will hold up to lots of use. We will see I suppose. Otherwise a great watertight box.

Scientific Anglers Leader
 
Scientific Anglers tapered leaders
By John the retired upstate NY carpenterVerified Reviewer from Upstate NY on 07/14/2009
Pros:
Durable, Reliable, Smooth Reeling
Cons:
My close-up vision
Best Uses:
Fly Fishing
Describe Yourself:
Casual Fisher
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I used a 9' Scientific Anglers tapered leader today fishing on the Neversink River in NY. The leader tapered down to 6X which is very thin and I attached a few feet of SA 7X tippet to the leader, then a size 18 hook dry fly. Once I got it all together is worked real well. But my vision is getting older and I had to use the black tailgate on my truck for contrast in order to tie this nearly invisible line. Don't ask what I caught. I'll admit to pilot error.
