Mastery Trout Specialty Taper Fly Line Our pioneering work with 3M Microballoons revolutionized the way fly lines float, and we continue to use this breakthrough technology in all of our floating fly lines. We also employ advanced hydrophobic agents that help repel water and increase floatation, which is further enhanced by the way we entrap air inside the fly line core. AST Advanced Shooting Technology is 3M's patented dry-slick coating that prevents dirt and algae from clinging to the line, which allows our fly lines to stay cleaner and float higher for longer intervals. No other floating fly lines provide so many clear and unique technological and performance advantages.
Applications:
- Ideal for traditional dry fly presentations
- Supple coating and low memory
- Delicate and accurate
- Exceptional performance in typical trout climates
- Welded Streamlined Loop slick and strong for easy connections and seamless fishing (front)
WF taper characteristics:
- Concave compound front taper for positive turnover and delicate delivery with typical trout flies
- Mid-length head offers best performance at short to medium distances
- Convex compound rear taper maintains good mending and casting properties without adding excess weight
- A great all-around trout line especially for casting small to medium trout flies short to medium distances
