Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Hover Fly Line
One day, long ago, in a kingdom far, far away, we dreamed up a line that would sink, but not sink too much, one that would simply hover beneath the surface. Fast forward thousands of years and the SONAR Stillwater Hover sinking fly line was born. Built with an extra-slow sink rate, the Hover is downright nasty when it comes to fishing streamers with a slow retrieve. It’s a legend, at least in our own minds.

The Hover line works perfectly for stillwater streamer fishing. The slow sink rate keeps the line just below the surface, making it easier to detect fish. I’ve used it for several weeks and it’s proven reliable in quiet lakes.

Great for slow retrieves. The hover performance is exactly what I needed for targeting bass in a calm pond. The line holds up well with long leaders and multiple flies.

I’ve tried several stillwater lines, and this one stands out. The 1 ips sink rate is spot-on. It doesn’t sink too fast or too slow, which makes it easy to match fish behavior.
