Streamer Dredge 30

December 15th, 2025

When your target fish are holding deep and reluctant to chase, Cortland’s Streamer Dredge 30 gives you the edge to get in front of them—fast. Designed for anglers who thrive in high flows, cold rivers, and lake drop-offs, this aggressive sinking tip line gets your fly down quickly and keeps it in the strike zone longer. The Dredge 30 features a 30-foot fast-sinking head (Type 6 or Type 8), seamlessly integrated into a slick intermediate running line for maximum shootability and balance.

The Dredge 30 is especially effective when fishing from drift boats or when dealing with fast-moving currents that push lighter lines out of the strike zone too quickly. With minimal false casting, this line enables aggressive presentations with large, weighted flies, while reducing the amount of time your fly spends out of the water. For anglers targeting brown trout in big water, striped bass in tidal rivers, or bass in sunken weed beds, the Dredge 30 helps you deliver the fly where fish are actually holding—not where it’s convenient to cast.

Aggressive Taper with Controlled Sinking Power

When your target fish are holding deep and reluctant to chase, Cortland’s Streamer Dredge 30 gives you the edge to get in front of them—fast. Designed for anglers who thrive in high flows, cold rivers, and lake drop-offs, this aggressive sinking tip line gets your fly down quickly and keeps it in the strike zone longer. The Dredge 30 features a 30-foot fast-sinking head (Type 6 or Type 8), seamlessly integrated into a slick intermediate running line for maximum shootability and balance.

Unlike traditional lines that rise too quickly or struggle to hold depth, the Dredge 30 allows for slow, controlled retrieves that mimic injured baitfish—perfect for enticing predatory strikes in deep channels or around submerged structures. It’s a go-to for serious streamer anglers working steep riverbanks, drift boat seams, or big water scenarios where reaching the bottom is the only way to trigger eats. Whether you’re chasing meat-eating browns, aggressive smallmouth, or lake-run steelhead, this line brings your fly into their world—and keeps it there.

Durable Performance for Freshwater and Beyond

Constructed on a strong, low-stretch braided core, the Streamer Dredge 30 delivers excellent energy transfer while maintaining a supple feel in cold or moderate temperatures. Its durable outer coating resists cracking and abrasion, making it reliable for multi-day trips, bank wades, or repetitive boat use. This line is as comfortable in stillwater as it is in fast western freestones, and has been field-tested in harsh conditions where traditional sinking lines fall short.

Cortland’s color-coded design also helps you stay oriented, allowing for better timing during backcasts and easier tracking when the line is submerged. If you're a streamer angler looking to strip big flies all day without sacrificing line integrity or casting performance, the Dredge 30 delivers the power, depth control, and durability needed for the job. Built for anglers who go big or go home, this line doesn’t just dredge—it dominates. No matter the current, cover, or contour, the Dredge 30 ensures your fly stays in the game longer.
