Thread: Is Scientific Anglers a reputable brand?

  1. #1

    Default Is Scientific Anglers a reputable brand?

    I've seen Scientific Anglers products at Wallmart and on Ebay. I'm a beginner to intermediate fly angler and I'm wondering if they are okay (specifically fly line) or if this is just another case of "you get what you pay for." Thanks for your opinions...

    Scientific anglers is one of the top manufacturers of fly lines but there are a couple of caveats concerning the ones at Wal-mart. The only lines I have seen there are their entry level lines which are shorter than their other lines which may not matter to you and are available only in WF floating which may or may not be what you want. They are not the latest version of their fly line but are at least as good as the top of the line version of fifteen years ago or probably less time than that. As for the ones on e-bay, many of the inexpensive ones that I have seen there appear to be older models even if they are brand new. Follow the link from the FAOL sponsors page for more information on specific lines.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    WalMart carries the Scientific Anglers fly rod combo called the "Ready To Fish" outfit. Rod, reel, line, leader and more.
    Less than $75 and it is super! Really.

    I bought one of their 5/6 weight rods at WallyWorld a couple weeks ago. Paid a whopping twenty bucks for it. Took it fishing the next day and whaddya know...danged thing casts and catches just fine.

    I could easily feel the difference between that rod and an Orvis Streamline (their $89 rod) but had no problems casting either of them (and I'm not a good caster).

    For twenty bucks, it's well worth having one.

    As far as I know, Scientific Anglers is a division of 3M.....I'd say that is reputable.
