Scientific Anglers “Tiny Pieces of All of Us” Teaser from Scientific Anglers on Vimeo.
The Scientific Anglers team all shares one thing in common: we love to fish. This is a teaser for our upcoming brand video called “Tiny Pieces of All of Us,” which will be out soon.
In Michigan we are blessed with an endless supply of fresh water lakes and streams which translates into endless fishing opportunities. This however, is both a blessing and a curse as you may encounter multiple water types and consequent challenges during a fishing trip. Finding one line that can tackle most of our fishing situations on any given day is
nearly impossible. Most of our streams and lakes are featured by steep drop offs which makes it tough to properly present a streamer in most situations. For most of the streamer fishing I do here in Michigan I need a line that I can cast easily all day long and one that can cut through the water surface tension quickly and achieve sustainable depths in swift
currents in a timely fashion. The other issue I find in our region is cold weather and cold water. Now you can make the argument that this is a good thing for our trout populations but these conditions can wreak havoc on the running lines found standard on most sink tips available today. I will admit I have been frustrated for some time now with most of the lines available today as they love to twist and tangle when you shoot them to
your target often causing your cast to fall short and in a tangled up mess while your fly is sinking to the river floor, NOT GOOD! I was recently handed an SA 250 Coastal Express and immediately I fell in love with thisline. Wow, what can’t I say! 1. Immediately I was hitting my targets 15 – 20 Ft further per cast with the same amount of effort. The slightly textured line instantly improves its castability at distance. It loads quickly and shoots accurately with great fly turnover. 2. This line is designed to get down quickly and it does! The sink tip has a thin diameter which allows it to sink quicker and to achieve greater depths. With a 28 to 30′ sink tip it sinks fast and keeps your fly at your desired depth for much longer throughout your retrieve which is an important part to our fly presentation. 3. Not only was I able to cast this line further and get my flies down quicker and deeper, this line was designed for cold weather and cold water and guess what, the tangle issues I was having with the other lines, well they were reduced to nearly nothing, notta, ninja!! This line has now found a permanent place on my spools and will remain at the top of my list until SA can improve upon the existing line or come up with a new one, but I can’t imagine how they can make it that much better.
Nice work guys, I can’t wait to see whats next!
Contact your local fly shop and pick up a Coastal Express if your in need of a new sink tip fly line.
Cool blues on the cheek of this dry fly eating Michigan Brown Trout. Put down the streamer rods and broke out the Scott G2 once again to capture this resectable 16″+ Hendrickson sipper. Also every day more and more impressed with the SA GPX Sharkwave taper. Day in and day out putting it in new clients hand this line is amazing.
Check out the Podcast (15min) at MidCurrent with SA’s John Van Vleet. John breaks down the new Sharkwave. Excited to see this new line, sounds awesome can’t wait for trout season.
