Product information "Monic Striper Elite Intermediate Long Distance Fly Line"
The Monic Striper Elite Long Intermediate fly line was developed for all those who value maximum stability, precision and long distances when casting. With its 14 m long head, it loads the rod harmoniously and ensures smooth, controlled shooting behaviour - perfect if you want to present flies cleanly and need more distance when casting.
As with the short version, the long also impresses with its ideal sinking behaviour: With a sink rate of 1.5-2 ips, the line sinks reliably to optimally present streamers - whether for sea bass, pike or sea trout. Thanks to the clever density compensation, the front part of the head sinks faster, while the rear part sinks more slowly. This means that contact with the fly remains direct at all times, even in waves - for better control and a significantly higher bite yield.
The Head Length of the Long is particularly advantageous when you want to master greater casting distances or keep flies clean in the air. The whole thing is supported by a 10 ft handling zone, which provides more control when casting and at the same time increases the service life of the line.
Like all Monic lines, the Striper Elite Long also relies on the supple, braided fibre core with low to moderate stretch. It not only offers shock-absorbing properties, but also excellent hook setting with minimal effort. The line also remains curl-free - whether in the height of summer or in frosty conditions in winter.
The STS lubrication technology is incorporated directly into the coating instead of just being applied on the surface. This ensures a permanently smooth surface that glides through the rod rings like a dream - even after long periods of use. And as with all Monic lines, occasional cleaning is enough to keep it casting like the first day.
The Monic Striper Elite Long is the perfect choice for fly fishermen who want to get the most out of their casts - with full control, smooth performance and first-class durability.

About Monic:
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.
