Cortland Liquid Crystal Series – Guide Floating Fly Line
Our Liquid Crystal Guide Taper is the most versatile saltwater line we have to offer. We designed this line for loading fast action rods quickly and capitalizing on feeding windows.
The Guide Taper is built with a short 6 ft. body for quickly transferring energy into your cast and delivering flies efficiently. The 29 ft. back taper helps carry line in the air when longer casts are necessary and allows for quick pickups when the fish are on the move. The short 3 ft. front taper effortlessly turns over any large patterns and weighted flies.
This line features a monofilament core and our signature Liquid Crystal jacket material for withstanding extreme heat while still remaining slick, supple and fast shooting.

This line performs well in both short and long casts. The front taper handles large patterns smoothly and the back taper helps with longer reaches. The line feels slick and casts cleanly, even in windy conditions.

Great for saltwater fly fishing. The energy transfer is fast and the line holds up well in hot weather. I noticed less line drag when using weighted flies.

I’ve used this line on rocky shores and in open water. The 3 ft front taper makes it easy to cast large patterns without losing control. The Liquid Crystal jacket stays cool and doesn’t snag easily.
