Fishskin is used by many commercial/machine-made reedmakers as "insurance" that it doesn't leak. I make my own, and indeed, a well-tied reed on balanced cane eliminates the need for fishskin. However, I was taught that when buying reeds, buy from someone doesn't use fishskin--it's a sign that the reed is well-made.
