The question although not stated was I thought about fishing UK waters, maybe I was wrong :thumbs:

 

 

Yes I apreciated that I was just explaining the only difference between a line labelled "saltwater" and any other fly line.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

As far as I understand it the main difference in saltwater flylines is the plasticiser used in their construction. It makes them a lot harder and stiffer than normal lines so that they "return" to a more normal feel in hot tropical sun rather than "wilting".

 

The tapers are no different to specialist "Bug" tapers that in turn are similar to lines marketed as "Pike" lines.

 

Indeed, most of the tapers are very similar
