Fly Line Review: Scientific Anglers Mastery MPX 

Yeah it’s a good line for sure. You will have to dress it after awhile but without going to their higher lineup(special coatings and all that jazz ) that’s a cost savings measure I don’t mind doing. Good luck out there

@@greenhornflyhorn I just wish the next tiers up were not so expensive. Looking into other brands too that are equal for cheaper. Sometimes I feel like we are paying for the name over the manufacturing costs.

@@cradford875 i hear ya. It really is an incredible investment but unfortunately I have to say this……it’s worth it. Very painful to admit but you get what you pay for with fly lines😞

I have tried the Rio lines with the new Slick Cast coating, recently introduced a couple years ago. You can find them on sale sometimes. Folks complain about them being full of coils and lumps, but they do get broken-in after a while, resulting in big improvement, and I really like them for some rods. The Gold is sweet on any of the fiberglass rods and any graphite stick with a moderate action. But, I use the SA lines too, the Extra Distance and Standard tapers are great. The big plus about the Airflo lines is that they are made with polyurethane instead of PVC, so insect repellant (DEET) won’t mess them up like the others.

Forgive me but I have no idea what the product is called as overtime the packaging tore off and all that is left is the container. I bought some type of floatant at a fly shop when I first started fly fishing years ago. I will say its like a thick gel/paste. I use the line dressing just to slick things up. I use RainX winshield liquid. It works incredibly well and costs a fraction of what you get at the shop. Wish I could've been more help man.

Airflo is what you need to try.

@@greenhornflyhorn actually that is a great help. I never would have thought about trying rainX. My local waters (lower Boise River) isn’t known for the dry fly scene so I am not usually dry flying unless I take a trip else where (south or middle fork Boise, Owyhee, for example). So I started using my dry fly floatant that is a gel as a quick fix. It is an annoyance as it only lasts for about 4-5 casts then starts sinking again. I bought the line in August and I fish multiple times a week. I figured I broke my line, lol. I clean it regularly and love it otherwise but that sinking makes mending a pain. I ran across your video last night while researching. Decent replacement since spring is around the corner. Finding out I am not the only one who has noticed this issue made me feel a bit better about maybe it wasn’t just me.

The gpx was a good line. Interesting comment at the end. I think it’s because the rods nowadays are more geared towards specific techniques. I do agree it’s hard to pair a line lately

I do have some products from all of the mentioned above. Honestly, everyone of them makes something I like, and something I don't like haha! You don't mind me asking which Airflo line you use? Appreciate it.

Hi Milan I have been using Superflo Ridge Tech 2.0 and Superflo KG Nymph Indicator for over a year now. It is by far better in every way than Rio or SA have ever been. I had previously used Rio mainstream trout all the way to the elite gold and SA mastery and amplitude. PU lines are simply just better than PVC lines for everything from handling heat and cold to lasting way longer in better condition. It is also recyclable for the environmentally minded fly folks. Even though I'm always looking for a bargain this is one item that I will never compromise on again. Rio and SA will eventually have to make there line out of something else to try and compete. Buy right the first time and you will save. Fly line in my opinion is the most important item to having a wonderful day on the water.@@greenhornflyhorn

Hi Milan I have Airflo SUPERFLO RIDGE TECH 2.0 UNIVERSAL TAPER 5wt on one rod and SUPERFLO KG NYMPH INDICATOR on my 7wt. PU line is just better in every way to PVC lines. The best investment to my fly fishing I have made. If you have any other questions about the line just ask? Have a great day.@@greenhornflyhorn

absolutely no one in the industry just says blank brand is the best period that knows what they are talking about. Every company does certain things better and strengths and weaknesses. A blanket brand fanboy is excessively unwise.
