If you are particular to Scientific Anglers fly lines for your adventures on the water, than you're probably already aware of the new Scientific Anglers lines for 2023! A Redesigned Box SA is making a new statement with their redesigned box. In our opinion it's the upgrade that was needed, especially when comparing the multitude of lines at a quick glance. We also really like that they have a clear image of the type of taper the line has. You can compare multiple lines side by side via taper and technologies. The new box has small image features for the line technologies. The biggest and most noteworthy change to the boxes is the new color schemes with matte touches!
