HOLY COW! Do you know GRAMPS? On another forum, there was a gent going by GRAMPS. He posted about buying silk and went on and on about how great it was. I only said for the price, there are many synthetic lines out there that can and will serve the same function.
He came at me with both barrels.
Silk was and still is a good choice with the smaller guides which was on some of the older rods.
NOW, try Sharkskin on glass or bamboo and you will be in heaven. Granted SS is getting close to the price of silk, but, no maintenance.
You do have to get use to the sound however.
I know one of Orvis first rods going from bamboo to glass was the full flex line like the Far and Fine. They are still great Graphite.
