Scientific Angler Amplitude Smooth Creek Trout Floating Fly Line
The Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Creek Trout Floating Fly Line is a rear loaded short-bellied fly line with an extended handling section designed for casting in small creeks where your average weight forward lines doesn’t make the cut. That means more mass is distributed to the front of the line, which assists in turning over weighted flies and performing roll casts. The Amplitude Smooth series of lines are, simply put, the highest-performance smooth fly lines in the world. With up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines, this will change the way you look at fly line performance.

FAQ
What makes the AST Plus additive different from standard fly line coatings?
The AST Plus additive improves surface slickness, reducing friction during casting and enhancing the line’s smoothness and control, especially in tight or short casts.
Is this line suitable for use in windy conditions?
The extended handling section and front-weighted design help maintain control in variable conditions, making it effective for small water environments with moderate wind.
Can this line be used with weighted flies?
Yes, the front-heavy design assists in turning over weighted flies, making it ideal for casting with heavier fly patterns in tight spaces.

This line performs exceptionally well in small creeks. The cast feel is smooth and precise, especially when using weighted flies. The AST Plus additive makes a noticeable difference in how easy it is to roll cast. I’ve used it for several weeks and it shows no signs of wear.

Great for close-range fishing. The front-heavy design helps with turning over flies without losing control. I noticed less drag during casting compared to my previous line. It’s durable and reliable in wet conditions.
Sally Black –
Felt like a significant upgrade from my old smooth line. The handling section is longer than expected, which helps with casting in tight spots. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the performance.
Julian Lambert –
Used it in a narrow stream and found it much easier to cast accurately. The line doesn’t tangle and stays smooth even after repeated use. Very satisfied with the durability and cast performance.
