Scientific Anglers Sonar Saltwater Intermediate Fly Line
It’s not very often you’ll need to fish topwater flies in the salt. That’s where an intermediate line comes in handy. The SONAR Saltwater Intermediate fly line features a slow-sinking clear head that cuts through the surface and provides an amazing amount of stealth for those wary fish cruising the flats. From redfish and bonefish to permit and tarpon, give yourself an edge that fish won’t be able to see.

Is this line suitable for tropical saltwater environments?
Yes, the Tropi-Core technology is specifically engineered to perform well in tropical climates, offering durability and resistance to saltwater exposure.
What types of fish can this line effectively target?
This line is effective for targeting redfish, bonefish, permit, and tarpon, all of which are known to be cautious and sensitive to surface disturbances.

Used this line for bonefish fishing on the flats. The clear head stayed almost invisible and the slow sink rate kept the flies just below the surface. Fish were more likely to take the flies, especially in early morning when visibility is low.
Jake Dickens –
Felt a noticeable difference in stealth compared to my previous line. The sink rate is consistent and the line holds up well in saltwater conditions. Would recommend for intermediate saltwater fly fishing.
Jasmine Gill –
Perfect for targeting tarpon in shallow waters. The slow-sinking head gives a natural presentation and fish seem more interested. Tropi-Core feels durable and doesn’t degrade quickly in the sun.
