These lines are available in weights covering most encountered fishing with single hand- switch and shorter double hand rods, except the very heaviest line weights. They are short, yet extremely rigid and precise in the flight during casting. We have spent a lot of time fine tuning the weight balance, the individual lengths and the transitions between the various densities to optimize them both in terms of sink speeds and tracking through the water. Their ability to stay balanced, yet powerful enough to turn over bulky, wind-resistant flies and cast further than you thought possible with such short lines make them a great all-round option.
Their buoyant back ends make lift-off from the water easy. They excel
in the last part of the swing when current drops and a line with less
buoyancy in the back will lose speed and ability to fish into your own
bank. The floating part of the F/S lines is about 40% of the total
length and so is the fastest sinking density in the front. 3D Compact
heads feature the very latest in PVC-free, eco-friendly Polyurethane
material and are pre-looped with the industry’s strongest loops. They
are built on our proven Direct Contact™ cores with only 6% stretch and a
breaking strength of 30 lbs. They are designed to perform perfectly
without the addition of extra Tips or Polyleaders, just add your desired
length of leader/tippet and you’re good to go. All lines are
color-coded and ID printed in the back end for easy identification of
line weight and density. Colors of the lines: FLOAT - Pale green, F/H/S1
- Pale/Clear green, F/S1/S3 - Pale green/Medium Grey, F/S2/S4 - Pale
green/Dark Grey, F/S3/S5 - Pale green/Black, I/S4/S6 - Pale green/Grey
Black, S2/S5/S7 - Light Grey/Black.
TLT (Triple Layer Technology) & Direct Contact™ Core
Complex,
multiple density and hardness in the coatings of these lines help to
shape the flylines of the future. A new, revolutionary chemical formula
and three different coating materials control hardness as well as memory
and density in various parts of the lines. This creates better casting
performance, more efficient fishing and bite detection, as well as added
durability. TLT has given us the chance to build lines that float well
and repel water better and more effectively than any lines we’ve
produced before. Built on braided multifilament Direct Contact™ Core
with only 6% stretch.
