Cleaning your fly line is very important especially when fishing saltwater. Simply pull line off your reel into a clean bucket or tub of freshwater. Put roughly 1oz or more of Cortland’s Line Cleaner solution onto a clean rag or towel. Firmly squeeze the towel with Pro Line Cleaner around the line and slowly pull line through the towel. You should be able to see dirt or discolored streaks on the towel when finished.

Great Fly Line

I have using Cortland 444 classic on my bamboo rods for years. I decided to try the Cortland 444 Sylk after just purchasing a couple of new Hardy Bamboo rods recently. I am not disappointed at all. They cast extremely well. Planning on purchasing a few more for the rest of my bamboo rods.

444 Sylk

I was having a lot of trouble finding the proper line for my new bamboo rod. It is classed as a 4 but my 4 wt line I had wouldn't cast. I tried a heavy 5 wt and I could tell it was too much for the rod. I bought some real silk in 5 wt what a waste of money. Cortland suggested 444 Sylk and I bought a 5wt. It works great. Very smooth.

Orvis Battenkill rod

I ordered the line because of reviews of other bamboo fly rod fishers. I have not been able to fish with the line but yard casting the line made the rod come alive.

Buttery smooth.

Very smooth and supple line. It doesn’t load well for long casts, but it’s discrete and stealthy. Which when paired with accurate casts makes more of an impact when needed vs long casting.
