Floating Fly Lines

Mastery Series Saltwater Lines

Saltwater

Specialty Taper

Applications:

  • The ideal multi-purpose line for saltwater
  • Top performance across a wide range of casting needs
  • Low memory for all weather conditions
  • High, hollow-core floatation helps wading anglers keep running line above weeds and coral

Taper characteristics:

  • 6-9 wt. lines with medium head for excellent distance and accuracy
  • 10-14 wt. lines with shorter head for quicker casts with larger flies and heavier leaders
  • Larger tip diameter and short front taper provide extra power to deliver large flies
  • Small overall diameter reduces wind resistance
  • Excels in wind without compromising delivery
  • Head design minimizes false casting with large flies
  • Compound taper head turns over flies under the most demanding saltwater conditions
  • Larger diameter running line reduces memory, tangles
  • Horizon color, although visible to anglers, blends into the sky and sea to become less visible to skittish fish

Core:

  • Softer, more supple braided multifilament nylon for less memory in all water conditions, see next page
  • Hollow core traps air for ultimate floatation

Coating:

  • Special higher-density 3M saltwater PVC formulated with patented AST – Advanced Shooting Technology
  • Highly resilient coating provides the durability required for harsh saltwater use

Bonefish

Specialty Taper

Applications:

  • For delicate, low-visibility deliveries to wary fish
  • Unmatched performance in tropical conditions
  • Stiffer for fast shooting to distant fish
  • Also excels for other tropical shallow-water species

Taper characteristics:

  • Long belly, stiff core, and small overall diameter work together to extend casting range and increase accuracy
  • Advanced taper improves line performance in the wind without compromising delivery
  • Longer front taper helps deliver flies more delicately
  • Larger diameter running line reduces memory and tangles
  • Compound taper head turns over flies under the most demanding saltwater conditions
  • Horizon color, although visible to anglers, blends into the sky and sea to become less visible to skittish fish

Core:

  • Stiffer braided monofilament nylon, built with 3M Tropi-Core technology, for reduced tangling, better shooting, and superior overall performance in warmer saltwater environments, see next page

Coating:

  • Special higher-density 3M saltwater PVC formulated with patented AST – Advanced Shooting Technology

“Because of how it holds up in tropical conditions with its braided core, this is the best-casting bonefish line found on the flats.”
