Fly fishing line

Fly-fishing lines are made of woven synthetic strands coated with several thin layers of plastic; three different types of lines are formed. The various types of lines are the ones that float, that sink gradually and the lines that sink immediately. The type of line is chosen based on the nature of casting. A double-taper fly line is noted by its smaller diameter at its first and last 8 m and a larger diameter all through the rest of line. Contrary to this Weight-forward tapers are designed in such a way that, they have a larger diameter in the front portion than rest of the line. Sometimes fly lines are heavy and cumbersome to cast. To ease this problem fly-fishers fix a small sized monofilament line at the end of the fly line. This is called leader and is much lighter than the fly line. This facilitates the angling without causing any disturbances or turbulence on the surface of water. This invisible attachment draws attraction of the fish. The leader makes the lure more natural and protects them from being damaged.
