Monic Trout Master Fly Line Floating
The Monic Trout Master is a high-quality fly line for fishing trout, grayling, and more. It features a unique taper that is optimal for both short-distance presentation and long, controlled casts. The very compact front taper of this floating line measures only 19 ft (5.8 m), making it effortless to deliver bushy dry flies or weighted nymphs/nymph rigs to the fish. Even in windy conditions, the compressed front taper helps you target your fly with minimal effort. Meanwhile, the weight in the middle section of the belly (20 ft or 6 m) and the extended rear taper (20 ft or 6 m) provide more control during casting, allowing you to maintain stable line loops in the air and reach maximum distances when needed. The middle and rear sections of the taper also contribute significantly to mending the fly line. The taper design truly shines in practical use on rivers and creeks, offering its advantages to the fullest extent. The individual sections of the fly line are color-differentiated, providing immediate visual feedback while casting: green denotes the front taper, gray indicates the middle belly and rear taper, and the running line is represented by light blue.
The Trout Master utilizes Monic's smooth braided fiber core. Its low to moderate stretch absorbs shocks during the fight, allowing you to stretch the line by hand without exerting excessive force when setting the hook. The core inherently retains no memory, ensuring the fly line remains supple even in sub-freezing temperatures. The coating of the Trout Master is designed to perform at a high level year-round. The advanced coating blend remains supple in cold temperatures while avoiding tackiness during warmer summer months. The plastics used are 100% naturally buoyant, resulting in a high-floating fly line that doesn't begin to sink over time.
Unlike many other fly lines that lose slickness due to surface treatments or chemicals leaching from the plastic, the Trout Master coating utilizes Monic's proprietary STS lubrication technology, expertly formulated and evenly mixed into the plastic blend. This results in an extremely low-friction surface that glides smoothly through the guides like a dream, without diminishing or migrating from the plastic throughout the line's lifespan. This means your line will cast as smoothly with occasional cleaning as it did straight out of the box, even when used in rough conditions. Like all Monic fly lines, the Trout Master offers excellent durability overall!
In summary, the Monic Trout Master is a versatile fly line for all trout fishing enthusiasts. Its special taper provides a great balance of power to quickly and effectively load your rod and control for long casts. This is due to a brilliant head design and the ultra-smooth, texture-free coating. A dream for streams and rivers and a clear recommendation for fly anglers seeking a PVC-free line!

Monic's high-quality lines are made in the USA and offer fly fishers a PVC-free alternative to many other fly lines on the market. No harmful chemicals are used in Monic fly lines. All components that make up a Monic line are 100% recyclable. And because no PVC is used, the coatings contain no volatile and harmful chemicals that have to be added to PVC to make a typical fly line. The American brand, which was founded in the 1980s, recognises that there is an essential and vital link between a healthy habitat and better fishing. Therefore, one of Monic's founding principles is to develop and deliver the best performing fly lines that also help protect our waters for future generations of anglers.
