Noise? there is a sound. Like the whipping sound of the rod, or, the sound of the river/stream, or waves hitting the shore, trees rustling...yes, there is a noise.
I found the ones that complain about it have "tried" the line, but never owned it. A reason in their mind to not buy it I guess.
No it is not distracting or obnoxious. I like it.
Fingers...I used it 8 hours a day for 6 days last year on the river so a lot of casting and stripping. Yes I got a cut on the crease of my finger that I hold the line with. But, I have got that same cut when fishing "wet" sinking line and had fish run on me.
I think any wet line can cut.
Again, I can't help but think that those that have anything BAD to say about SS do not own the line and trying to justify not buying it.
I took a rod loaded with the Trout SharkSkin on a guiding trip. The gal (a total newbie) was casting SA on a Redinton rod and getting the roll cast and swing down quite well. I handed her my rod loaded with the SS while I switched out flies on the other rod. Trying to keep her IN the water. Her first roll cast she shouted, OMG this this is easy as heck to cast!!!! Look how far I just went!
So, if a total new comer feels the difference......
