Why We Like It

Flats fishing in calm bright conditions is the hardest fly fishing scenario there is the fish see everything, including your fly line if it’s the wrong color. The 12′ clear tip solves the visibility problem without sacrificing castability. Pair that with Airflo’s polyurethane coating that doesn’t get stiff in tropical heat, and you’ve got a line built for the picky-fish moments where most other lines blow the shot. Worth the $150 if you fish flats more than a couple of weeks a year.
