Cortland Specialty Series – Pike Musky Sink 4 Fly Line
Our Specialty Series Pike Musky Sink 4 features a 30 ft. type 4 sinking head with a short 3 ft. front taper for turning over large, air-resistant flies. The short 3 ft. back taper helps load this line quickly and makes it extremely shootable. Intermediate running line removes any hinges in the line and gives you a smooth transition into the depths.
This dual colored line features our low stretch braided nylon core for consistent, powerful hook sets and ultimate stopping power. Our signature Shooting Technology keeps your line remaining slick, supple and fast shooting. The gray and brown color combination distinguishes taper change and is traceable yet stealthy in Esox environments.

This line performs well in pike fishing. The gray and brown color helps me see the taper changes clearly. It casts smoothly and holds well under pressure. I’ve used it in both still and moving water conditions and it’s reliable.

Great for deep water fishing. The sinking head works well with large flies, and the line doesn’t kink or twist. The dual color makes it easy to track the taper during casting.
