Scientific Anglers(TM)
“I like a fly line to be soft and supple for the most delicate presentations, with a taper that easily loads the rod at short casts. I also want it smooth and slick if I need to belt out a long cast or drive a tight loop into the wind. Most importantly, I want the line to float high so I can mend and manage line after it is on the water. The Mastery XPS fills all my needs; it's my favorite line.”
