When every detail matters in flats fishing, Cortland’s Flats Taper Clear is the fly line you can rely on to provide unparalleled performance. Designed specifically for stealthy, precise presentations in shallow, crystal-clear waters, this high-performance line allows you to approach even the wariest fish undetected. Its crystal-clear construction virtually disappears beneath the surface, giving you a tactical edge when targeting species like bonefish, redfish, permit, tarpon, and more. Whether you're making a quick, short cast directly into feeding lanes or executing a long, looping roll across the flats, this line is engineered for anglers who demand nothing but the best in every fishing scenario.
Crafted for tropical environments, Cortland’s proprietary Liquid Crystal Series coating makes the Flats Taper Clear exceptionally tough, capable of withstanding the harshest heat and humidity conditions without compromising performance. The coating ensures the line remains slick, fast-shooting, and supple, even in blazing sun and warm saltwater environments. Its monofilament core enhances durability and offers minimal stretch, providing greater sensitivity for detecting subtle takes and maintaining full control over your cast. This level of precision allows you to respond quickly to changing conditions and fish movement, essential for success in the flats.
The Flats Taper Clear’s design is all about versatility. Its precise taper is perfectly balanced to handle both weighted and non-weighted flies, giving you the flexibility to adapt to the situation at hand. Whether you're presenting a light shrimp pattern to a skittish bonefish or casting a heavier crab fly to a permit, this fly line delivers subtle, accurate presentations with ease. When the fish are on the move, the extended back taper allows for seamless pick-up and redirection of casts, ensuring you’re always ready for the next opportunity, no matter how quickly it arises.
