I’ve used the Ghost Tip 15 for several weeks on a quiet lake. The clear tip makes it easy to keep fish guessing. The front taper handles small streamers smoothly and the dual loops make rigging quick and reliable. It’s a solid choice for stillwater nymphing.

The line performs well in medium water conditions. The shooting finish is smooth and the 5 ft front taper gives good control when turning flies. A bit stiff in cold weather, but overall reliable.
