Cleaning your fly line is very important especially when fishing saltwater. Simply pull line off your reel into a clean bucket or tub of freshwater. Put roughly 1oz or more of Cortland’s Line Cleaner solution onto a clean rag or towel. Firmly squeeze the towel with Pro Line Cleaner around the line and slowly pull line through the towel. You should be able to see dirt or discolored streaks on the towel when finished.

I am enjoying Cortland's Big Shot fly line on my trout spey set up since it's suited to get big bugs out there. It's extra heft makes casting larger flies easy.
Excellent line
Performed well on casting floating bass bugs. Have used 444 lines for 40 years of fishing.
It turns over the big flies I use and also the flies with dumbbell weights.
Does exactly what it's supposed to do, shoots out smooth and loads the rod very well.
Aptly named! great for big bugs, stalking peacock and large mouth bass.
Excellent quality line that performs above expectations. Launches larger dry flies and heavy streamers. In summer creeks, I can use this with a longer leader and drift streamers with no need for sinking line!
This is a fine, durable line at a great price! Throws big flies with ease. I'm taking this line to the fla. Keys next week. ! I'm fishing out of islamorda Thursday through Saturday. I should have more to report!!
