6. Scientific Anglers Amplitude MPX
Many anglers underrate the importance of a quality line and some of us will change our fly lines only after someone makes us try something different. Well, this may happen to you too if you get an Amplitude fly line as a gift. Here's some clear info by Scientific Anglers: "The Amplitude series will shoot farther and last longer than any other line on the market. It’s slickness down to a science. Amplitude lines include our new AST Plus slickness additive, which is 50% slicker than our old lines. They also last over 800% longer, on average, than our three top competitors."
