Fly line memory

[oldfrat]

A big ditto on the 444. I don't fish when the air temperature gets below about 35. The 444 is the only line I've found that works well when it is that cold.

Thanks for all of the responses.
Anybody know who makes Cabela's Prestige lines?

Thanks for all of your comments.

I have been told that SA makes Cabela's lines. I use several Cabela's Prestige Plus lines, and have used several SA Mastery (and other) lines. I find the Cabela's lines to be every bit as good, and even better sometimes, than much more expensive brand name lines. My last several fly line purchases have been Cabela's lines. In fact I only look at other brands when I want something that Cabela's doesn't offer, such as fast full sinking lines. (last I looked, anyhow.)

All of my fly lines are still in "good as new", after 10 years or more of fly fishing.

After each day of fly fishing I wash the line in soapy water and rinse the line in clean water, and then dry it as I wind the line back on the reel. I also clean the reels, removing anything picked up when fishing.

Once I month I use the wax pads for recoating the surface of the fly line.

Winter storage I take the line off the reel, and hang in on a peg in large loops.

I will try a Cortland 444 for my next line purchase. Anybody know who makes Cabela's Prestige lines?

Thanks for all of your comments.

Actually two different companies make that.
Prestege is made by Cortland
Prestege plus is made by SA.
Two different companies and two different lines. Stay with the plus.

Buy Airflo and you don't have to bother streching the line!

I can't remember if mine coil or not...
