Cortland Liquid Crystal Series – Tarpon Taper Floating Fly Line
The only thing better than spotting feeding Tarpon on the deck of a flat’s skiff is having a line that will consistently deliver flies into the feeding zone. We designed our Tarpon Taper clear to be the most reliable Tarpon line on the market.
Our Tarpon Taper is built with a short 7 ft. body for quickly transferring energy into your cast and delivering flies efficiently. The 31 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 tarpon patterns and weighted flies.
This line features a monofilament core and our signature liquid crystal coating for withstanding the hottest temperatures.

Donna Poole –
Used this line on a recent Tarpon trip in Florida. The cast performance was excellent, especially with long casts over open water. The front taper handled weighted flies well and the line stayed stable during quick movements. Very reliable in hot weather.
Chloe Sharp –
Great for both long casts and tight turns. The liquid crystal coating holds up well in sun exposure. I’ve used it on multiple trips and it consistently delivers flies to the feeding zone.
Chloe Bell –
Solid performance on the water. The 7 ft body helps with energy transfer, and the back taper works well for reaching distant feeding areas. A bit more expensive than other lines, but worth it for Tarpon fishing.
Frank Dowd –
Felt a noticeable difference in casting accuracy compared to my previous line. The front taper turns over patterns smoothly, and the line doesn’t tangle easily. Perfect for flatwater Tarpon fishing.
