Tips, Ties And Tactics Fly Line: They All Break Down
Posted by jason-c on Monday, May 22 @ 07:28:04 PDT

Dry and cracked fly lines do not cast, float, or support knots well. Proper cleaning and maintenance will help your line last longer but eventually they all need to be replaced. I only get about a year out of my 5 and 6 weights because I use them so much. I get about 2 years out of my 8 weight because I use them less. Replace your fly line when they are worn out. It will prevent problems at crucial times.

I only get a year out of all my lines because i use them so much and i fish in saltwater a lot and saltwater is much harder on lines than fresh.
