While studying a silk fly line, there seems to a be variety of tapers, braiding patterns, coatings, and floatants, etc.. A deep and interesting world was waiting for me. It took about a week to braid. It forced me to turn the handle of the machine 90 times in order to braid 2 inches of line. Wuhhff... |

By attaching a power drill on the machine, unexpected troubles jumped out and greeted me. While making, the part I made with less attention reinvited me to make them again. Thread bobbins jumped out of the machine while turning, sticked at some places and the machine stops, etc.. After all, I had to make such parts again and again precisely. And now, it works by electricity at any rate. Wow! the leaves of bamboo. I expected, if bamboo has so called natural color, I would like to have the color on my rods, at threads and fly lines. Following the instruction of Mr. Reed Curry's web page, coating of silk line is made like this. As you can see in the photo, 16 strunds line (green line) is thinner than white one, which is 8 strunds. This green line is dyed by the leaves of black bamboo which grows at the entrance of my house. * line diameter is different. 16 strunds results in thinner diameter than 8. * tention control of 16 strunds becomes far more difficult than 8 strunds. It is extremely tough to braide up 90 feets of line successfully without accidents. * less diameter will increase line speed with less air resistance Next to do is to make a matching bamboo rods this silk line. |
