I find it too loud and it doesn't stay clean as well as other lines. These are two aspects that are key (especially cleanliness) when they get used by myself and clients 150+ days through the summer months. The fly line for me and my clients has been the SA Mastery Saltwater Striped Bass fast sinking. It has enough weight to toss some log flies and gets down to the big boys.

Caught my first brook trout, brown trout, and steelhead on that bad boy and it's still going strong. Well, I may have mangled it enough that it's time for a new line but for all intents and purposes that line has been great. Would love a hat.

First trip was to Northern New Mexico, first fish ever caught on a fly line was a little 'bow, only about 10", but I'll never forget the feeling of that fish on the line. Came home from NM, promptly gave away my spin casting outfit, and have never looked back. That Scientific Anglers line was part of what has become a passion that now includes tying my own flies and building my own rods. Everything I've owned since has been loaded with Scientific Anglers line, and it all started with that Mastery GPX!Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224058642576859679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072465054494499379.post-75323439270000514992012-04-21T10:12:46.918-04:002012-04-21T10:12:46.918-04:00I started my boys out on SA lines because of ease ...I started my boys out on SA lines because of ease of casting and that was nearly 5 years ago.
