Jim, check with Betty on that one, I think she's had sticky Sylk problems when the humidity and temp is high in her neck of the woods. I fish sometimes in 95?+ weather. Had Sylk since it came out. I use it on bamboo and 'glass. No stickiness but I'm in the arid west. If it was Cortland that was quoted "We had one batch (most of which went overseas) that was having some stickiness issues in extremely high humidity with air temperatures over 85 farenheight."
you might want to ask them how the humidity creates the problem.
One other line that is quite supple and floats well ot the Dyna Tip by Cortland.
