BILLFISH INTERMEDIATE BREAKDOWN
Getting a Billfish to the boat on a fly is no easy task. Our Billfish Intermediate was designed to deliver large flies into the upper water column of the prop wash quickly.
This line features a 9’ clear intermediate front taper for stealth and presentation, a 27’ extended body that will transfer energy quickly and efficiently for those quick casts when there is a Billfish on the teaser and you need to deliver your fly. A short 7’ back taper helps with quick loading, and fast shooting.
This line is built on a heavy monofilament core with our signature tropic plus coating finished in a very traceable chartreuse color.
SPECIES: Billfish, Sailfish, Marlin
