Description
From crappie crushing small Clousers and Wooly Buggers to bluegill wrecking surface beetles, panfish are just plain fun, and with the Bass Panfish Fly Line, Cortland gives you everything that you need to enjoy the whole summer chasing these fish. A straightforward line, Cortland builds this series to excel when fishing ponds, lakes, and the small creeks that panfish call home. Featuring an aggressive taper, this line makes it easy to chuck those often air-resistant poppers, and with a slick coating and mono core, you get excellent shootabilty and everything that you need to stand up to those brutal summer days. Made in line weights 3 through 7, there's an option here whether you're pond hopping at the local farm or focusing on catching lunker bass out of a reservoir, making this line about as versatile as you can get for under fifty bucks.
Uses
Streamers and Poppers - Whether you're popping small Gurglers or stripping Crappie Killers under the surface, this line lets you present them all with ease. A slick coating meets a compact taper to make long casts and overcome air-resistant flies in less-than-perfect weather without penalty.
Temp
Warm - From spring through summer and into the end of fall, this line is designed to handle all of the water temps that you'll find bass and panfish living in. And although this line works in warm water, it won't stand up to hot tropical temps.
Taper/Weight
More Mass Towards the Front of the Head - Cortland's Bass Panfish Fly Line is designed with an aggressive taper to help turn over and cast air-resistant flies. This is the perfect taper for loading your rod and fishing the popper-style patterns that are so much fun to use for panfish, and you can also count on just enough accuracy whenever you need to land a beetle right under the low-hanging oaks that dot your favorite pond.
