Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Creek Trout Fly Line
The Amplitude Smooth series of lines are, simply put, the highest-performance smooth fly lines in the world. With up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines, this will change the way you look at fly line performance.
The Creek Trout Taper is designed for casting in small creeks where your average weight forward lines doesn’t make the cut. The rear loaded short-bellied fly line with an extended handling section. That means more mass is distributed to the front of the line, which assists in turning over weighted flies and performing roll casts.
Features the revolutionary slickness additive for superior shooting ability and increased durability.

This fly line performs exceptionally well in small creeks. The short-bellied design helps with roll casts and weighted flies. I noticed much less drag compared to my previous line, and it holds up well after several uses in wet conditions.

Great for fishing in tight spaces. The handling section makes it easy to cast accurately at medium distances. The slickness additive really improves the cast feel and reduces line resistance.
Sam Gray –
Solid performance in small waterways. A bit heavier than expected for short-range use, but the front mass helps with turning over flies. Slightly more expensive, but worth it for the durability and performance.

I’ve switched from a traditional smooth line to this model. The drag reduction is noticeable—my casts are smoother and more consistent. The durability has also improved significantly after repeated use.
