This line performs great in deeper flats. The sink rate is just right and the casting feels smooth. I’ve used it with both dry flies and nymphs and it holds the fly well without tangles.

The SlickCast coating makes it glide through the water easily. I noticed less line drag and better loop control than previous lines I’ve used. A solid choice for intermediate flats fishing.
