The world’s first solid
braided silk fly lines with an oil dressing was produced in
England in 1880 by Eaton and Deller. In 1908, P.D Malloch of
Perth produced the most famous and successful of all silk fishing
lines, the KINGFISHER. This more than any other, set the standards
for the manufacture and performance of all oil dressed silk lines.
WHY SILK? Improved casting powers in both distance and accuracy. Silk gives the correct weight for smaller diameter. Less bulk landing on the water, therefore less disturbance. Will not stretch or crack. Less wind resistance. Soft and pliable (after break-in). Will last for years and years. Unaffected by extreme variations in temperature. Quicker, smoother lifts from the water. Taper built in at the time of braiding. Gives more speed and positive feel. Made by craftsmen with painstaking care.
REVIVING A TRADITION...Cheaper, synthetic fly lines and glass fiber rods signaled the demise of Kingfisher. There was a long hiatus where silk lines were not available. To the delight of those who set value by tradition, Noel Buxton, of England, in the late 1970’s, began hand crafting silk fly lines in the established manufacturing traditions of Kingfisher. The result was the Phoenix precision built fly line made of the finest quality Pure Chinese Silk with tapers built-in by braiding. These lines facilitated the most delicate presentation of the smallest flies.
Noel also demanded that the lines be of an intermediate density. When greased, the line floats high on the surface film, un-greased it acts as a “slow sinker” and by de-greasing the tip, there is a “sink-tip” of variable proportions. This gives three options from one line.
The double tapered profile enables reversal of the line for longer use.
The special “proofing” of the line gives no “reel” memory and only minimum stretch to aid better hooking.
HANDCRAFTED QUALITY...Making silk lines by these traditional methods to produce the finest product possible is very labor intensive and time consuming, much as split cane rod building. For over 16 years, Noel Buxton manufactured the world’s finest silk lines in accord with a tradition spanning over 100 years. Now after two decades bamboo rod maker Mike Brookes continues making Phoenix lines in the same way for today’s fly-fishers who value the finest in tradition and performance.
The oils and varnishes ensure that the line is waterproof and supple. The Phoenix Line is so stable that it does not leach linseed oil and become tacky with age.
The special finish produces a line that shoots well, with the minimum of flash while maximizing silk’s added advantage of a smaller diameter for a given weight.

TRIANGLE TAPER FLY LINES...
|
 Of the many innovations that Lee Wulff contributed to
fly fishing, the Triangle Taper fly
line is perhaps the most popular.
The Triangle Taper offers the greatest delicacy of any fly line and of
greatest importance to the bamboo fly caster, the Triangle Taper is a
continuous forward taper in the head of the line, the first 36 to 40
feet, depending upon the size application. This provides the most
efficient transfer of casting energy as it unrolls because the heavier
line is constantly turning over lighter line. The design also gives you
a more delicate presentation because the weight of the line is away from
the fly. It is also the finest Roll Casting line for up to 60’ casts.
This combination of a longer weighted section and a light running line
make the Triangle Taper cast like a weight forward line for distance,
when needed. The tip end can be customized to your casting style by
cutting it back (by inches) for the desired performance level.This unique Taper design has the added benefit of improving the casting performance of many fine bamboo fly rods. Because of the unique weight distribution and configuration of the line, it allows for a bit more weight to load the rod as the cast is extended, satisfying that sometimes very subtle need for a bit more line weight to properly load your cane rod and bring out its best casting characteristics. This is something that really must be experienced to be believed! I’m not claiming these lines will make you a better caster or make a bad rod great, but, in my experience, (over the past 20 or so years that these lines have been around), I’ve found they consistently sweeten the feel of rods that are on the cusp, making them more enjoyable to use. When planning the right size for your rod, add a line size to the stated weight, i.e., the #2 becomes more of a 2/3 line, a #3 more of a 3/4 line, and so forth. If you have a cane rod that needs tuning and often seems to cast better with the next heavier line, (but you fear you are over-lining it), try the appropriate Triangle Taper line. You may be pleasantly surprised! Floating Fly Line (#99906) The original, easy casting Triangle Taper fly line. It will cover all normal fly fishing situations. 90’ length. Color: Ivory. TRIANGLE TAPER FLOATING (TTF) Sizes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. (Please order by size). Price: Any Size: $65.95

The "New Young Pfoot"
The "New Young Pfoot" was especially designed to fit the more modern postwar J. W. Youngs. It will allow you to use your J. W. Young reel on the most delicate of slide band reel seats and the narrowest of screw lock seats.
The easiest way to tell if you need a "New Young Pfoot" for your reel is to carefully detach the existing foot that is on the reel. By looking at the foot where it mounts on the reel, observe whether it is flat or curved. If your reel foot has a flat surface then your reel will take a "New Young Pfoot". Please Note: Some of the largest sized salmon reels employed a "THREE-SCREW" reel foot. You will need to order the "Aluminum 3-Screw Young Pfoot" for these reels. (see below)
Aluminum 3-Screw "New Young Pfoot" Salmon Reel only. $35.95

Counterbalances 
Nickel Silver Counterbalance - Small Diameter* - HIGH PROFILE. These small diameter counterbalances are made especially for those older Medalists that have the 0.220 diameter spool holes. Over the past year we have had a number of customers tell us that our standard 0.250 diameter hole counterbalance, which fits many of the later model Medalists, did not fit well on the older 1300, 1400 and 2000 series reels. This little “gem” of an add-on is just the answer. The all stainless counterbalance and stainless backing screw have been highly polished to eliminate any burrs that might interfere with line control and smooth line running. They come with a hex head wrench and are easy to install. They will add beauty to any vintage Pflueger Medalist without detracting from its value. BRIGHT Finish Only. $16.50

When ordering please specify the spool hole diameter of your Pflueger Medalist. If you are unsure of the hole diameter (the outer hole opposite the handle) of your Medalist reel, here is a quick little test that will help you determine the correct counterbalance for your reel.
If you can drive a #2 pencil eraser into the hole with a little force you probably have the 0.250 diameter hole spool and would order the large diameter counterbalance. If the eraser looks like there is no chance of going through the spool hole you will probably need the small 0.220 diameter counterbalance for your Medalist. If you are still unsure, please feel free to contact One-Pfoot.
Replacement Springs
Spool Cam Release Springs
This is a fancy name for the Spool Latch Cover springs. A firm, strong, stainless spring that will put new life into your Medalist. See “Pfine Tuning Your Pflueger” below for making that exact fit and feel with your replacement spring kit. Price for package of 3: $6.50
One-Pfoot is now producing Sculpted Pillars for the narrow (1492, 1494, and 1495 models) Pflueger Medalists. We are now pleased to offer this product that many of our customers have asked for over the past few years. After research and investment in tooling, we have manufactured an attractive and functional replacement for those straight, chrome-plated, brass pillars that grace many of the more modern (early 1950s to present) Medalist.
These delicate looking Sculpted Pillars are made to look like the original pillars that made the early Medalist such a distinctive reel. They are machined here in our shop of 6061T6 aluminum and then hard coat anodized to insure a long life with a minimum of wear and scratching. The older original Medalist sculpted pillars were pinned to the reel frame with a Type U drive screw. Our Sculpted Pillars are drilled and tapped with a roll form thread in each end insuring the best possible fit for the common 3-48 Medalist screws. These handsome add-ons will truly dress up your Pflueger Medalist!
Set of 3 Pillars with Old Screws ONLY: $27.95

One of the most asked for items over the
years has been the small oval head 3-48 screws that were so
often used in the building of the early Medalists. We had
these stainless screws cold form threaded—which makes for a
stronger screw—and then brought into our shop to shape the
oval heads and slot them. A final buffing and polishing
makes this the perfect replacement for all those older
Medalist reels.
