Cortland Tropic Plus Billfish Intermediate Fly Line

Product information "Cortland Tropic Plus Billfish Intermediate Fly Line"

For over 100 years Cortland has been designing and developing some of the most innovative fly fishing lines in the industry. All Cortland lines are made with the newest technologies and materials in their Cortland, NY (USA) factory.

The extremely successful Tropic Plus series from Cortland covers all disciplines of saltwater fishing. It consists of a series of first-class lines that inspire even the most demanding fly fishermen thanks to their excellent quality. All models have one thing in common: a design that is perfectly matched to the target fish so that you can rely on them 100% in every situation - especially if a trophy fish is hooked!

Transparent fly lines are very popular - and rightly so! They significantly minimize the spooking-effects of your setup, allowing you to outsmart even the most cautious fish. The Cortland Tropic Plus Billfish Intermediate Fly Line has a lot more to offer besides its transparent tip. The very fact that they exist exclusively in extremely high line classes shows clearly what it was developed for: breathtaking big game action! Its powerful head, with a length of 13.1 meters allows assertive casting, so that even in wind you can present your fly very precisely. It also easily transports large, weighted flies to perfectly imitate the prey of giant sea predators. Thanks to its very strong monofilament core, it also has a slight stretch for excellent shock absorption, so your Tippet survives the critical seconds during a vicious strike - even if the fish takes off immediately after the bite. In addition, it retains its excellent casting and shooting characteristics due to its special tropical coating, even at record-breaking temps. The line length is deliberately kept a little shorter to fit as much backing in the reel for explosive runs, which is bound to happen with these large, powerful fish. Last but not least, its transparent tip allows you to use shorter leaders so you can more-easily cast in windy conditions without spooking your prey.

When fishing for the most spectacular and strongest fighting fish the world of fly fishing has to offer, you should leave absolutely nothing to chance - especially not the line that connects you and your catch. That's why the Cortland Tropic Plus Billfish Intermediate Fly Line offers you groundbreaking stability and shock absorption, so you're ready for the king of game fish!
