The present disclosure is to a fly fishing line and a method of making a fly fishing line. The method includes preparing a composition comprising a polymer resin, a co-polymer of silicone, and one or more other polymeric materials. The method includes applying the composition around an elongated core. The method also includes exposing the composition to conditions that form a coating around the elongated core thereby forming the fly-fishing line. The composition is a plastisol composition and the polymer resin is a polyvinyl chloride resin. The fly fishing lines include an elongated core a coating disposed around the elongated core. The coating comprises a polymer resin, a co-polymer of silicone, and one or more other polymeric materials.

Fly fishing line and method for manufacturing same

A fishing rod having improved strength and durability to weight characteristics is provided using a thermoplastic toughened epoxy resin. The method of manufacturing this fishing rod includes the use of an insulating layer around rod blanks during a high temperature cure stage.

Lightweight fishing rod and a method for making a lightweight fishing rod

An improved fishing wader uses light weight nylon faced laminate material and taped unsewn sonic welds to achieve a durable, light weight, comfortable wader.

Fly fishing reel

An anti-reverse large arbor fly fishing reel is provided which is robust in design and has a superior drag. The reel includes a drag offset structure allowing an angler to switch between a preset light drag to a preset heavy drag while still allowing full adjustability of drag force.

Anti-reverse large arbor fly reel

A fishing rod is provided in which unwanted vibration is damped and casting characteristics are improved. Vibration damping elastomeric material is provided as a tapered element within the hollow rod blank near the rod tip and/or as an intervening layer between the rod blank and the rod grip.

Damped fishing rod

A large arbor fly fishing reel is provided with a smooth drag and the ability to change spools without removing any additional parts. The reel is provided with spring loaded locking tabs permanently fixed to a spool base which retain the spool upon the spool base and a drag to which pressure is applied through a central spring.

A fishhook having improved catch-and-release characteristics is described. The fishhook does not have a conventional barb but rather has two depressions with sharp leading edges in the wire of the hook.
