This line casts smoothly without the usual kick. The floating section helps with mending, which is perfect for wading in rivers. The welded loop makes setting up the rig quick and easy. I’ve used it for several days and it holds up well.

The line feels balanced and doesn’t dump during casts. The SlickCast coating reduces friction and makes it easier to handle. A bit longer than I expected, but the casting performance is excellent for river fishing.
Thomas Walker –
I switched from a standard sink tip and noticed a big difference in control. The body section is solid and the tapers are smooth. It’s ideal for casting in windy conditions or when I need to mend frequently.
