FAQ
What makes the MaxFloat Tip Technology different from standard line tips?
The MaxFloat Tip Technology floats more than twice as high as regular line tips without increasing the line’s diameter, improving visibility and casting performance in water.
Is the SlickCast coating durable under regular fishing conditions?
Yes, SlickCast is designed to provide consistent performance and resistance to abrasion during typical fly fishing use.
Can this line be used for other types of freshwater fishing besides trout?
While optimized for trout fishing, the line’s floating properties and casting control may work well in other freshwater environments with light to medium fly weights.

This line delivers excellent float performance and casts smoothly. The MaxFloat tip helps the fly stay visible in the water, which is great for spotting trout. I’ve used it in both still and moving water and it performs consistently.
Carol Brown –
The long head gives me better control when casting in tight spots. The line doesn’t tangle easily and the SlickCast coating feels smooth. I prefer the gold color for visibility in the morning light.

I’ve switched from my old line to this Premier Gold model and noticed a big improvement in mending and casting accuracy. The floating tip helps me detect subtle bites, especially in deeper water.
