Cortland Specialty Series Ghost Tip 5 is a weight forward fly line designed for shallow subsurface presentations in stillwaters, rivers and streams. A 5 ft clear intermediate tip sinks below the surface while the floating body and running line maintain easy pickup, mending and line control.

A 27 ft body with 5 ft front and rear tapers creates a 37 ft head for accurate turnover of nymphs and small streamers. Built in true line size on a monofilament core, Ghost Tip 5 features Shooting Technology for a slick, quick shooting finish and dual welded loops for convenient rigging.
