Quick take
A heavy-duty fly line with aggressive head and longer taper designed for casting large saltwater and freshwater flies at extreme distances.
This weight-forward floating fly line is built to turn over large streamers and saltwater flies, with a short, aggressive front taper that puts the weight forward and a longer rear taper for line control. The 33-foot head suits anglers chasing tarpon, surf species and big freshwater predators, and it works with switch rods for overhead casts. Weld loops at both ends make changing lines quick, and the dark green head with its dark red running line is easy to identify.
