Ghost Tip 5 Breakdown
The Ghost Tip 5 was designed for stillwater applications where presentations need to be right below the surface or when fishing over structure.
The Ghost Tip 5 features a 27 ft. body paired with a short 5 ft. rear taper allowing for precise loop control and accuracy. The 5 ft. front taper effortlessly turns over nymphs and small streamers. This line features our signature Shooting Technology for a slick, quick shooting finish.
This line is built in true line size so your rod never feels overloaded when casting maximum distance. The clear tip is extremely stealthy and will help you fool the smartest fish. This line features dual welded loops for convenient rigging.
SPECIES: Trout / Salmon / Bass / Carp

FAQ
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.

Finally ... a makes sense streamer line!
This new Ghost Tip 5 fly line had to be thought up by a streamer fly-fisher. The intermediate tip rides just under the surface and makes for a very realistic baitfish retrieve is slow to medium-fast streams. Can't wait to try the GT10.

Fantastic Line
I use the 7wt on my warm water species rod quite often and it’s a great line for tossing just about anything! I love the slow sink rate so you don’t smack the bottom immediately in those shallow water situations. Pulls wiggle minnows & boogiemans like a breezeeee! Ghost tip is stellar on the carp fly presentations as well. Great line!
