Cortland Specialty Series – Pike Musky Intermediate Fly Line
Our Pike Musky Intermediate was designed for ultimate versatility.
We designed this line with an overly aggressive head featuring a short 20 ft. body that packs a serious punch. The compact body paired with a short 3 ft. front taper easily turns over large air resistant flies. The short 3 ft. back taper helps load this line quickly with minimal false casting. This line is built overweighted to load fast, powerful rods.
This dual colored line features our low stretch braided nylon core for consistent, powerful hook sets. Our signature Shooting Technology keeps your line remaining slick, supple and fast shooting. The olive and green color combination distinguishes taper change and is traceable yet stealthy in Esox environments.

This line performs well in both still and moving water. The short front taper helps with quick casts on large flies. The olive and green color makes taper changes easy to see without standing out in the water.

I’ve used it on several pike and musky outings. The loading is fast and the line holds its shape well. The color combination is subtle but helpful when checking the line during casting.

Great for intermediate anglers who need a reliable, aggressive line. The low stretch core ensures strong hook sets, and the shooting performance is smooth and consistent.
