Cortland Specialty Series – Pike Musky Floating Fly Line
Targeting Esox requires versatility and persistency. Our Pike Musky Float fly line effectively covers the upper to middle water column.
We designed this line with an overly aggressive head featuring a short 20 ft. body that packs a serious punch. The compact body paired with a short 3 ft. front taper easily turns over large air resistant flies. The short 3 ft. back taper helps load this line quickly with minimal false casting.
This dual colored line features our low stretch braided nylon core for consistent, powerful hook sets. Our signature Shooting Technology keeps your line remaining slick, supple and fast shooting. The olive and pale yellow color combination distinguishes taper change and is traceable yet stealthy in Esox environments.

This line performs well in both fast and slow water conditions. The olive and pale yellow color helps me spot the taper changes easily. The casting feel is smooth and responsive, especially when using large flies. I’ve used it for several weeks and it hasn’t shown any wear.
Eric Mills –
Great for mid-water fishing. The short front taper makes it easy to cast with big flies. The line feels solid and doesn’t tangle. I noticed a slight difference in feel compared to other lines, but it’s a good trade-off for better performance.

I’ve been using this line for pike fishing in lakes with varying depths. The floating action and low stretch core give me confidence in hook sets. The color scheme is subtle but helps me track the line during casting.
