This line performs well in clear water conditions. The sinking rate is consistent and keeps the flies in the strike zone without creating ripples. Great for targeting baitfish near the surface.

I’ve used it in both lakes and coastal areas. The durability is solid, and the Tropic Plus coating holds up well under pressure. Sinking rate is just right for mid-water fishing.
