This line performs exceptionally well when casting tarpon flies. The short front taper makes it easy to cast even in tight spots. The floating action keeps the line from sinking, which helps with presentation. I’ve used it in both shallow and deeper waters and it holds up well.

Great for targeting tarpon in tropical waters. The casting feel is smooth and the line doesn’t drag. The SlickCast coating reduces friction, making it easier to handle. A solid choice for saltwater fly fishing.
