Quick take
Weight forward sinking fly line in multiple weights for reaching deeper water and different trout fishing depths.
This is a 4-weight full sinking fly line with a weight-forward taper, 100 feet long, in fluorescent yellow and red. Anglers who fish freshwater lakes and rivers and want the fly to reach deeper water can pick it for its sinking profile. Its PVC body suits a fly rod matched to a 4-weight line.
Best for

- Fly fishing nymphs and streamers
