Product information "Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Trout Strategic 12.5 Floating long Belly WF Fliegenschnur"

The Strategic Trout Series offers dry fly lines with three different head lengths – perfectly suited for different water sizes such as small creeks, medium, or large rivers. No matter your skill level, personal casting preference, or ideal line length: this series has you covered. All variants feature comparable tapers that ensure a consistent casting feel and maximum control. They allow for precise handling of long leaders and especially delicate fly presentations. Whether using overhead casts or Spey techniques – the thoughtful construction handles both with ease. Regardless of whether your rod has a slow, medium, or fast action – with Strategic Trout, your fly will land precisely and elegantly.

Like all Amplitude fly lines, the Amplitude Smooth Strategic series is equipped with AST+ (Advanced Shooting Technology). This additive is integrated into the line and ensures a smooth surface even after extensive use. This is made possible through diffusion, meaning the additive can migrate from within the coating to the outside and continually maintain the surface – similar to how human skin self-lubricates. As a result, you get a line that remains smooth 60% longer and generates 40% less drag than comparable lines on the market. Like the textured Amplitude series, Amplitude Smooth lines feature a tip section with Floating Texture. This textured part provides maximum flotation at the tip, allowing for quiet lift-offs and easy mending.

The Trout Strategic 12.5 (with a head length of 12.5 meters in 5-weight) is the ideal choice for skilled casters. This line is specifically designed for medium to large rivers – or for those who simply enjoy fishing with longer heads. The extended head allows experienced anglers to make longer casts with maximum control. It’s the go-to dry fly line for those fishing larger waters.

Admittedly, Scientific Anglers’ technology comes at a premium – but considering the longer-lasting performance and smooth coating benefits until the very end, investing in such a high-end line is absolutely worth it!
