Scientific Anglers Mastery Expert Distance Fly Line - Now available in
105' and 120' Competition Length
With advanced taper design and harder, stiffer coating, the Expert Distance
Mastery Fly lines are designed to provide maximum casting distance. Typical
“western” conditions, larger flies, long distances and windy days are handled
best by these lines. Ideal for casters who need to carry and control a very long
line. Expert Distance lines are best used with 9' or longer rods.
The Mastery
Expert Distance series features a braided multifilament nylon core with optimum
air entrapment for minimum memory and maximum floatation. It is coated with a
specially formulated PVC with built in AST technology offering superior
lubrication. This PVC has slightly increased density to reduce line
diameter. Expert Distance weight forward designs have extra long heads and
tapers custom tailored to each line weight. Convex compound front tapers delay
turnover for long casts and provide the necessary power to handle larger flies
and wind. Long rear tapers are used for smooth distance casting and better
mending and roll casting.
Mastery lines
incorporate Scientific Anglers' Advanced Shooting Technology. The unique
'dry-slick' coating enhances every aspect of floating line performance. In
just three short years, amazing AST - Advanced Shooting Technology - has
redefined fly-line performance. Using a patented coating process, AST is
integrated within the line coating to achieve a unique 'dry' slickness that
keeps the line permanently slick and continuously clean. Try an AST line
just once, and nothing else will do. The dry slickness of AST prevents
dirt and algae from clinging to line, which means line stays cleaner and
floats higher for longer intervals. AST isn't just permanently slick - it's
lightning slick for the fastest, smoothest shooting of your life. With AST,
line shoots through the guides virtually friction-free and keeps on doing it
for the life of the line - without the need for dressing. Plus, because the
line stays so clean and free of debris with AST, Scientific Anglers lines
are significantly less prone to wear and corrosion.

Control and distance, 12.10.2010

After learning what characteristics make-up a quality fly line, and then doing extensive research to find a line with the exact taper design to provide optimal control, precision, and distance, I found S/A's Expert Distance. After the first few false casts I realized this is a line different from all others. The ability to effortlessly keep more line in the air resulting in an amazing long final release. As a result of the exceptionally long rear taper the line provides the best control for precision casting I've ever experienced. After a year of putting this line through it's paces under some of the most severe conditions, I now feel no need or desire to use any other line. Recommend that you try it to see if it may also improve your fishing experience as it did mine, good luck, Dominic

In the never-ending pursuit of more casting distance, anglers have tried to cobble together myriad combinations of running lines, heads, and tapers. But the new Expert Distance lines from Scientific Anglers offer something that you can’t make yourself – a tapered running line. According to developer Bruce Richards, this has never been done before, and it serves to reduce the mass of the line and the friction caused by running over the guides during a cast. The Expert Distance lines also feature a longer rear taper, allowing casters to carry more line in the air. These weight-forward floating lines are available in weights 4 through 9.
