The Smooth version of the Pro Saltwater Tropic features the same taper and design as the textured version with a smooth line coating. If you’re a saltwater angler who prefers a smooth line, this is a great option. Built for big flies in windy conditions, this line is more refined than other lines made specifically for large flies. The convex compound front taper allows anglers to get more distance performance and more delicacy out of this line. Its versatility makes it a go-to choice for avid tropical saltwater anglers everywhere.
AST Plus Slickness - Orvis has built a number of important features into this line. AST Plus Slickness allows anglers to quickly shoot line with friction-minimizing performance. Welded loops on both ends allow easy leader/backing attachment. A braided multifilament core is strong and supple for versatility and durability. AST also easily sheds dirt and oil for a longer-lasting line.
Tropic Game Fish, Saltwater - This line is designed for all-around saltwater performance for anglers chasing tropical fish on the flats or out of a skiff. This is a great line to load fast-action rods quickly and cut through the wind but it’s more refined than just a line for big flies. With an advanced convex compound front taper and a longer rear taper, this is a line that presents flies delicately, too. Flats fish are often spooky, but this is a great line for accuracy and control at longer distances. Whether you’re chasing Bonefish, Permit, or any other flats species, this line is designed to be versatile and high-performing.
Warm/Tropical - The line’s stiff monofilament core retains optimal performance in hot weather and warmer water temperatures. This is a tropical saltwater line that’s built for best performance in sunny, warm environments. This line will start to shrink and curl on you if you use it in a cold water/cold weather scenario.
Convex Compound Front Taper - The taper of the Pro Saltwater Tropic Line is optimized for performance in windy flats conditions. The line features a stout head that cuts through the wind easily. The head also encourages great shooting performance. That being said, the convex compound front taper is engineered to improve presentation and delicacy at distance for those picky fish.
