FAQ
What makes the clear tip different from the full clear option?
The clear tip option has a visible color change at the transition point between the floating head and the running line, helping anglers know when to pick up or shoot the fly. The full clear option provides a seamless, invisible float for maximum stealth.
Is this line suitable for use in saltwater flats?
Yes, this line is specifically designed for saltwater flats fishing, with a Flats Pro taper that offers excellent performance in shallow, wary environments.
Does the line come with a leader or does it require one?
No, the line is designed to eliminate the need for a long, cumbersome leader. It features gin-clear technology that allows direct casting with minimal visibility to fish.

Used this line on a recent trip to the flats and noticed a big difference in how the flies presented. The clear tip helps me know exactly when to pick up, and the fish didn’t spook easily. Great for stealthy casting.

The full clear version works perfectly in shallow water. No visible line, which makes a big difference when targeting wary fish. The color change mark is very helpful during casting.
Chloe Ince –
Solid performance on the flats. The taper feels balanced and the line floats smoothly. A bit more expensive than others, but worth it for the stealth and reliability.

I’ve tried several floating lines, but this one stands out. The clear tip transition is easy to see and helps with timing. Works well in low visibility conditions.
