Used this line in coastal flats and found it to be very effective. The 15ft intermediate tip helps get the fly down quickly without tangles. The tropical coating holds up well in hot weather and the line performs smoothly in the water.
James Nash –
Great for deep flats fishing. The loop performance is smooth and the line doesn’t stretch much. I noticed better hook sets compared to my previous line. Highly recommend for saltwater use in warm climates.
Mary Short –
Works well in moderate to deep flats. The line feels stable and doesn’t kink. A bit more expensive than others, but the performance justifies the price in challenging conditions.
