Sadly it appears that they have been discontinued, Raggot. Such a shame but they probably weren't popular in the US or they wanted the colour for some other line.

I've had running conversations/debates with both SA and Cortland over the past few years regarding some of their lines and tbh they're only really interested in the US market and floaters in particular. Anything else is secondary and the discontinuing of lines or the thoughtless tinkering of sink profile and colour is part of their 'all eggs in one basket' approach to market share. Or so it seems to this particularly disillusioned individual.

You're best to do a google search and see if you can find any old stock. Either that or try an ebay search. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm not really sure what scientific anglers ssi is but I recently bought a scientific anglers floating line in a lime green colour from a shop in fleet. It's called tackle up. Do a google search, they might have what you're looking for.

I found the Shakespear Glider Neutral Density to be a good alternative. I have the older Olive coloured version which unfortunately is starting to crack. I also have the later blue version which sinks a bit quicker. Alas no longer available! Both good lines discontinued.

You could try Laurence Hawley at Ultimate fishing.
I got a nice unbranded neutral density line off him a couple of years ago. Its stashed away for when the other 2 become US.

Frankie McPhillips has four of them (all WF6) in his shop in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. He might just be left with three next time I visit !! Maybe you could Google him etc etc.
