This line performs well in rough conditions. The orange tip is easy to see in the water, and the sinking head keeps the fly in the right depth. I’ve used it on multiple trips and it consistently sets the hook when targeting billfish.

Good for deep water fishing. The grip technology helps with feel and control. A bit heavy for light conditions, but perfect for targeting larger fish in saltwater.
