I heard a rumor that Sharkskin would be coming down in price from the original $99. So far i have not found this to be true.
Has anyone else heard this?:?:
If you’re in the market for size 7 or larger line, great prices on Sharkskin ($46) and Cortland Crystal ($50) at http://www.verobackcountry.com/clearance_lines.php
Someone responded to a post of mine that S/A is discontinuing the line. I checked and it seems there are a couple of models that they are dropping but I didn’t see anything about canceling the entire product. When I checked again tonight I couldn’t find any discounts at all.
Maybe the rumor was confused with the S.A. Mastery textured lines, which run about $80. A couple of Sharkskin models have been discontinued perhaps and some have updated and you can find the older versions at discounted prices.
If you like ripped up fingers, go for it.
Madison River Fishing Company www.mrfc.com has several types on sale for $29.95 although they only have some upper line weights still available.
