Sharkskin Clear Tip
SA’s Sharkskin 8-weight Saltwater Clear Tip (tested October 2009, fishing bonefish and permit on Turneffe Atoll, Belize) shoots like a bullet in winds up to 30 mph and driving rain. “The line is noisy due to its pebbly surface for low friction in the guides but this, combined with its weight-forward saltwater taper, makes for fast, accurate presentations under the most trying conditions,” said our tester. “Due to its relatively rough surface, the line is abrasive, calling for a golfing glove or Band Aides on the first joints of your line forefingers to forestall painful line cuts. That said, this line is superb for bonefish, tarpon, and permit. The Sharkskin Clear Tip combines the shootability of the yellow floating Sharkskin Saltwater, with a clear tip that does not frighten fish. It’s like having a built-in 12' leader to which you attach your own 9' extension.” Available in sizes 7- to 12-weight.www.scientificanglers.com
