Overview
A floating trout fly line with a long head and back taper for casting control at range, built to present flies from size 22 up to size 2.
The one recurring complaint has nothing to do with the line itself: the flimsy paper spool it ships on.
- Casts fly sizes 22 through 2
- SlickCast low-friction coating
- MaxFloat tip technology
- Welded loops front and back
Who it's for
Trout anglers who want one floating line that handles small dries through larger streamers. Not built for anglers who need a sink-tip or saltwater taper.
Pros and cons
- Floats reliably over years of use per repeat buyers
- Welded loops speed up rigging
- Casts a wide range of fly sizes, 22 to 2
- Ships on a flimsy paper spool some buyers found frustrating
Performance notes
SlickCast coating is built to lower friction for casting distance and durability, while MaxFloat tip technology raises float height without adding tip diameter. Welded loops at the front and back speed up rigging to leader and backing, and Dualtone marking shows where the taper's sweet spot sits.
