More and more, we find we’re getting asked to recommend cheap fishing tackle. It’s always a tricky request as, if you’re not careful, ‘cheap’ can mean ‘nasty’. However, mill end fly lines have been a stalwart of the fly-fisherman or woman on a budget since well before any global recession!
A mill end is, basically, a slight second. Fly lines are usually expensive and buyers demand perfection. At the beginning or end of a production run, the lines can be slightly off that very high standards. Usually, this is just a colour issue. These mill ends are perfectly usable, so rather than sell them, companies now offer them for sale.
Any fly line that is a slight second these days is usually labelled a ‘mill end’.
Demand for these lines has increased greatly over the years and this isn’t just down to the fact that they’re cheap; if they were cheap and nasty, word would soon get round and nobody would buy them! No, demand has grown because they do the job.
Fishtec sell a range of mill end fly lines, and at £4.99 they are well worth considering.
You get a choice of floating, inter and fast sink lines, in a range of weights.
