Built with a 28’ type 6 head (6-7 IPS), this line gets your flies down quickly and its intermediate running line provides a smooth transition with a constant connection to your flies. Cortland crafts this line with a braided nylon core that has minimal stretch to let you really drive the hook home, and they also include their Shooting Technology that, when coupled with this line’s aggressive taper, makes for easy loading, long casts, and a very low level of friction. The Compact Specialty Sink Fly Line is made in line weights 5 through 12+ and features a temperature rating that lets you chase anything from offshore tuna to trout laid up at the bottom of a reservoir. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual Welded Loops - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhether 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 Compact Specialty Sink Fly Line, Cortland equips the line with dual welded loops. These loops are super strong and incredibly easy to use, giving you the best of both worlds in terms of functionality and convenience. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShooting Technology (ST) \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- A technology created to decrease friction in your cast while increasing distance and shootability, Cortland’s Shooting Technology gives this line a super-smooth finish that will last for your line’s life. From mornings spent wading the flats to long casts out of a boat, Cortland takes the hassle out of hitting those far targets with their Shooting Technology. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat-Tempered Surface Treatment \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- Cortland’s Heat-Tempered Surface Treatment works to create extreme slickness in your fly line. Not only does this greatly decrease friction in your cast, but it also keeps dirt, oils, and other water contaminants out in order to boost your line’s lifespan. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreamers and Crustaceans \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- Pairing a fast sinking construction with an aggressive taper, this line is perfect for throwing streamers of all sizes and it does a great job at delivering those massive baitfish patterns..think Hollow Fleyes and Bufords. And whenever you need to send a crustacean down to the bottom of the water, this line does an equally solid job there. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarm to Tropical \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e- Cortland makes their Compact Specialty Sink Fly Line for use in warm to tropical water. This temperature configuration allows you to fish over a range of temperatures starting at about 50 degrees and extending well above 70 degrees. This enables you to target things like warm water species in a freshwater environment just as well as tropical species inshore and offshore. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaper\/Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Mass Towards the Front of the Head\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - Just like its name implies, Cortland’s Compact Specialty Sink Fly Line has a compact taper that focuses the mass towards the front of the line. This taper pairs a short 20’ body with a 3’ front and back taper to make it easy to turn over large flies in windy conditions while also loading your rod with minimal false casting. And for further convenience, Cortland makes this line with a clear separation of color so that you always know where the loading point is. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Freshwater, Saltwater\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoops:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Front Loop (Leader to Fly Line Connection) and Back Loop (Backing to Fly Line Connection)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSinking\/Floating: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSinking (6-7 IPS head, intermediate running line)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Resources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/all\/tropical-saltwater-fly-line-shootout-buyers-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2020 Tropical Saltwater Fly Line Shootout \u0026amp; Buyer's Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/all\/fly-line-shootout-review-buyers-guide\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFly Line Temps: Tropical Vs.
