The present disclosure is to a fly fishing line and a method of making a fly fishing line. The method includes preparing a composition comprising a polymer resin, a co-polymer of silicone, and one or more other polymeric materials. The method includes applying the composition around an elongated core. The method also includes exposing the composition to conditions that form a coating around the elongated core thereby forming the fly-fishing line. The composition is a plastisol composition and the polymer resin is a polyvinyl chloride resin. The fly fishing lines include an elongated core a coating disposed around the elongated core. The coating comprises a polymer resin, a co-polymer of silicone, and one or more other polymeric materials.

A brass-plated steel cord 1A is immersed in an organic solvent 13. The steel cord that was immersed in the organic solvent 13 is immersed in an aqueous alkaline solution 22. Next, the steel cord 1A that was immersed in the aqueous alkaline solution 22 is immersed in an aqueous silane coupling solution 32. Finally, the steel cord 1A that was immersed in the aqueous silane coupling solution 32 is heated. Thus is manufactured a steel cord 1B equipped with the silane coupling agent, wherein the silane coupling agent is excellently bonded to the surface.
