Product information "Cortland Hi-Vis Flip Short Belly Tropic+ Fly Line White / High-Vis Orange"

Flip Pallot is one of the most influential personalities in modern saltwater fly fishing. For decades, he has stood for innovative techniques, extreme practical experience and a deep passion for fishing for species such as tarpon, snook and redfish. In close cooperation with Cortland, the Hi-Vis Flip Short Belly Tropic+ fly line was created - a specially developed line for powerful casts, maximum visibility and precise presentations in warm waters.

The Hi-Vis Flip has a compact short belly construction with an aggressive butt that loads quickly at short distances and transfers high energy into the cast. The short, powerful head enables fast casts to close targets and at the same time ensures sufficient energy transfer to reach greater distances. Even voluminous, drag-rich flies such as streamers, shrimp patterns or poppers can be presented reliably and precisely.

A short front and back taper ensures efficient power transmission and facilitates fast recasting - particularly important when fish are moving quickly. The line is based on a monofilament core and is equipped with the resistant Tropic+ coating, which remains supple and easy to cast even at high temperatures. The eye-catching high-vis colour combination of orange and white also makes line control and fly tracking easier - a great advantage in murky water, mangrove areas or for fast sight casting.

The Cortland Hi-Vis Flip Tropic+ is therefore a high-performance floating line for warm and tropical waters that combines fast loading, high casting energy and maximum visibility.
