Tropic Plus Series

Saltwater performance in tropical heat.

Hard, slick fly lines for quick shots, powerful turnover, stealthy presentations, and deeper water.

Tropic Plus Series fly lines are designed for dependable performance in tropical conditions. Specially formulated primers provide optimum adhesion and stiffness, while a hard, durable surface coating helps each line shoot well and remain stiff and slick in extreme heat. Highly abrasion resistant, every line features a unique taper profile developed for its specific fly fishing application.
