Orvis Pro Saltwater Tropic Textured Fly Line

The Pro Saltwater Tropic Textured line is a phenomenal line for all-around saltwater performance in tropical conditions. This is a line that cuts through the wind, makes longer casts easy and efficient, and retains delicacy through a carefully refined convex compound front taper. The textured line minimizes line friction through the guides so it’s easy to shoot larger flies at longer distances. The line’s three different color sections also make it easy to know how much fly line you have out at all times. This is a great line for Bonefish, Permit, Snook, and more.

Features

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. The Pro Saltwater Tropic Textured Line also features a floating texture on the tip section and a shooting texture on the running line for floatation in the front half of the line and castability in the back half. AST also easily sheds dirt and oil for a longer-lasting line.

Uses

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.

Temp

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.

Taper/Weight

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.
