This line performs well in both still and moving water. The sink rate is consistent and the line loads the rod quickly. I use it for bank casts and roll casts—very reliable. The color change at 30′ helps me track the line easily.

Good for one-time casts and Spey techniques. The dual welded loops make connecting to backing easy. A bit heavy for light fishing, but works well in most conditions.

I’ve used this line for several weeks now and it holds up well in rain and wind. The dry-slick coating keeps it smooth, and the sink tip delivers large flies effectively.
