For nearly 70 years, the majority of fly lines have been made from PVC - a naturally rigid plastic that requires the use of plasticizers to make PVC lines functional. These plasticizers are anything BUT a permanent part of a PVC line. You see, from the minute it's made, a PVC line begins to breakdown. This leaches plasticizers into the environment and contaminates you and the waters you fish. Once it has shed enough of these, it becomes prone to cracking, even failure. If that's not enough, as it decomposes, PVC is known to release dioxins - a group of lethal, bioaccumulating toxins. Consequently, it's virtually impossible to safely recycle a PVC line.

Instead, their lines are made from Polyurethane - an inert, stable, full recyclable material that requires no plasticizers and lasts far longer than PVC.
