This line casts smoothly and stays floating even in heavy rain. The 6ft Stealth Tip worked great in tight spots near the bank. No tangles or sinkage after several hours of use.
Jonathan May –
I’ve tried several flats lines, but this one feels the most responsive. The SlickCast coating makes it glide through the air and water without resistance. Great for both morning and evening casts.
Stewart Hughes –
The 15ft Intermediate Tip is perfect for longer casts on open water. It doesn’t sink and keeps a straight path. A bit stiffer than expected, but manageable for my style.
Joe Springer –
Easy to anneal and maintains its shape well. I used it for a weekend trip and it performed consistently in different wind and water conditions. Highly recommended.
