Royal Wulff Long Belly Fly Line
The Royal Wulff Long Belly Classic is designed to blend the best of a double taper and a weight forward line into one super-versatile trout line. It casts like a DT for the first 30+ feet (excellent control and easy roll casts), then transitions into a back taper and running line for smooth shooting when you want distance.
Built as a 100’ floating line with a 46–56’ head length (varies by line weight), J3 coating for slick handling, and a welded front loop for fast leader changes. Color: Ivory.

This line performs well in both tight spaces and open waters. The first 30 feet feel like a double taper, making roll casts very accurate. After that, it transitions smoothly to a longer reach. The J3 coating makes it easy to handle in wet conditions. I’ve used it for trout fishing in streams and it’s reliable.

Great balance between control and distance. The ivory color stands out in natural waters. I appreciate the welded front loop—it saves time when changing leaders. A bit stiff in cold weather, but overall very satisfying.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced anglers. The roll casting is smooth and the transition to long casts is natural. I’ve used it in mountain streams and it holds up well in variable conditions.
