Ultraligero

Fishing for trout in gin-clear water with subtle sips and wary takes is no easy feat. That's exactly why we developed the Ultralight line—a line designed for precision and delicacy when it’s needed most. Whether you're working a medium river or a wide expanse of a large one, this is the dry fly line you can rely on when presentation is everything. The Ultralight’s design is what sets it apart. Its unique, ultra-thin 18-foot front taper allows you to deliver featherlight presentations even at longer distances, thanks to its precise loop control. Smart, pressured trout don’t stand a chance when combined with its thin diameter, which reduces surface disturbance on the water. Plus, the Ultralight’s head design lets you hold more line in the air, giving you effortless control for distant rises. It’s a perfect balance of functionality and finesse, tailored for anglers who know the importance of nailing that first cast.

A standout feature of the Ultralight is its three visual color changes, ensuring you’re always aware of the ideal pick-up and shooting points. Dual welded loops make rigging quick and hassle-free, so you can spend less time setting up and more time casting. This taper is one of the stealthiest we’ve created, making it the ultimate tool for delivering precise, technical casts. Ranging from a 2wt to 6wt, it caters to every angler in pursuit of trout perfection. Since it’s a floating line, the Ultralight is ideal for a variety of techniques. It excels at roll casting, mends effortlessly, and pairs beautifully with a wide range of dry flies. The green and yellow finish isn’t just a sleek aesthetic choice but also serves a purpose. It’s unobtrusive to fish while remaining visible enough for you to track your line, even against challenging light conditions. Plus, its braided nylon multifilament core resists coil memory, keeping your line reliable and smooth in every season, hot or cold. Whether you’re targeting cunning trout in crystal-clear streams or exploring uncharted waters, the Ultralight fly line is the perfect tool to elevate your approach. Its lightweight design offers unparalleled sensitivity, accuracy, and finesse, giving you the edge you need to outsmart elusive fish. For those who have trout or grayling on their radar, there’s no better way to enhance your dry fly game than with the trusted performance of the Ultralight.
