Our patented dry slick technology sets the standards for slickness, AST provides continual line slickness allowing the line to shoot farther as it moves virtually friction-free through the guides. AST-formulated lines easily shed dirt, algae and other parasitic drag particles allowing them to cast farther, float higher and stay cleaner than traditional lines. As a result, lines featuring AST are more durable and last longer.

Backed by a team of 3M scientists and professional anglers, our Dry Tip Technology leverages a unique 3M Microballoon ™ formulation for the absolute highest levels of floatation.

Exceptionally slick and strong, our welded Streamlined Loops produce smoother casts and easier turnover with a seamless fly-line-to-loop transition making for softer landings and cleaner pickups. The sleek design also maintains buoyancy for improved fly-line floatation.
Scientific Anglers Line Identification (SA ID)
SA's unique ID system--used on all their premium lines--identifies your line with small printing at the end (head) of the line, eliminating the need for stickers on spare spools. As a result of our lab's mission to continually improve our lines, we bring you SA ID. SA ID is an innovative line marking system allowing you to identify your lines at a glance. Scientific Anglers have marked each of their premium SA ID lines with small printing near the front end of the fly line so you can see exactly what line you have on any one of your spare spools that you may or may not have used lately. This system eliminates confusion over similar-looking lines on similar spools, and eliminates the possibility of those old stickers ever gumming up your reel again. Wonder if a shooting head is 200 grain or a 300? Just look at the SA ID. You can instantly keep track of all your fly lines and find exactly the one you are looking for amongst all your reels and spare spools.
