You would think that when you buy a high quality fly line that it would hold up longer. Unfortunately this is usually not the case. The type of materials and polymers that make a high quality line perform better tend to be more subjective to use. All fly lines are essentially plastic and with any type of plastic a lot of factors can cause them to wear out. Heat, dirt, wear and amount of use can cause them to wear out faster. Sunscreen is really bad on fly lines, whether it is a result of over spray or rubbing off your hands and skin onto the fly line. From different sources of information that I have gathered you should be able to get about a year or so out of a good quality fly line.
