Cortland Streamer Intermediate Tip

Stripping a Feather Game Changer in a deep reservoir or swinging a classic Wooly Bugger through your favorite riffle, Cortland's Streamer Intermediate Tip Fly Line is ready to help you work the mid to upper column in order to find the true giants. Combining a compact taper with a 10' intermediate tip, this line loads your rod well while letting your flies hover in the zone. Perfect for stillwater environments and rivers of all sizes, Cortland crafts this series in line weights 5 through 8, allowing you to chase anything from river smallmouth to freshly run steelhead, and with the integration of Cortland's Shooting Technology, you can rely on this line to hit targets both near and far.

Features

Dual Welded Loops - Whether you're dealing with your backing-to-fly line connection or fly line-to-leader connection, there's no doubt that welded loops greatly simplify things. With their Streamer Intermediate Tip Fly Line, Cortland equips the line with dual welded loops, and with the addition of their Fifty+ Core, you'll never need to worry about one of these loops snapping on a trophy fish.

Shooting Technology (ST) - A technology created to decrease friction in your cast while increasing distance and shoot ability, Cortland's Shooting Technology gives this line a super-smooth finish that will last for your line's life.

Uses

Streamers and Crustaceans - From classic patterns like Mickey Finns and Wooly Buggers to modern streamers like Crafty Changers and Hollow Fleyes, this line lets you present them all with ease. And for those times when you're fishing for smallmouth bass and the only thing they'll eat is a sweetwater lobster, this line does an excellent job at presenting crayfish imitations.

Temp

Cold/Warm - Chilly winter days spent seeking out the pool boss to warm summer afternoons wet wading for largemouth and bowfin in a weedy cove, this line works perfectly in cold to warm scenarios. With a lower limit of around 30 degrees and an upper of around 70, this line handles all of your freshwater needs flawlessly.

Taper/Weight

More Mass Towards the Front of the Head - The Streamer Intermediate Tip Fly Line is built with an aggressive taper that allows you to load your rod and make the most of each cast with minimal effort. This taper makes it easy to present heavy and large streamers, while its 10' front taper adds just a bit of finesse for when the conditions are low and clear.
