Scientific Anglers
Founded in 1945 in Midland Michigan, Scientific Anglers has been on the frontiers of fly line development with the introduction of PVC coating on contemporary floating fly lines and development of sinking fly lines. Not one to rest on its laurels, Scientific Anglers further developed the usage of silicone in fly lines, XTS gel-spun backing providing more reel capacity and its Sharkskin Technology that reduces friction leading to fly lines that shoot further and float longer. Since its change in ownership from 3M to the Orvis Company, the company underwent a complete rebranding with new packaging, logos and color scheme.
