Quick take
A no-frills sinking fly line with multiple sink rates for nymphs and streamers.
The Scientific Anglers WetCel Type IV in charcoal, size WF-5-S, is a weight-forward sinking fly line for nymphs and streamers. Its Sink 4 rate of 4.0 to 5.0 inches per second gets flies down quickly in streams, rivers and lakes. The braided multifilament core suits anglers working trout, bass and panfish from a fly rod.
