We are continually asked, "How do you fly fish in saltwater?" Saltwater fish species and habitats are so diversified that there is no simple answer. Saltwater temperatures run from both arctics to the equator and from inches deep to miles deep. The fly lines listed here are designed for tropical temperatures. For most temperate and arctic water temperatures, many lines |
|
used in colder fresh water will do well. Warm tropical saltwater and the fish that live in it do pose some daunting problems for the average fresh water fly line. The polymers that fly lines are coated with have a certain suppleness at specific temperatures. They get stiffer when cold and limper when warm. This becomes painfully clear when your favorite steelhead line coils on a 100-degree boat deck. It gets limp to the point of being sticky and will tangle nearly every cast. Scientific anglers attacked this problem with a full selection of lines coated with polymers that give |

|
maximum performance in tropical temperatures. In addition to their special coatings, line tapers are designed to penetrate the wind with large flies. This coating is to some degree armor plating against the abuse of heavy fish and the abrasive environment that many of them live in. |

Saltwater Taper-Floating
Designed for top performance in most saltwater situations. The smaller diameter cuts wind resistance and increases casting distance, and the resilient coating is extremely durable even in harsh conditions. |

The long belly, long rear taper, stiffer core and reduced overall diameter allow more line to be carried with less wind resistance, giving you the distance and accuracy needed for bonefish. Floating lines are available for the times when fish are feeding in shallow water, and sinking lines for when the fish are deeper. |
