Profile Thin Diameter
The Tropic Plus Clear Intermediate is designed for covering the middle water column in deeper channels, heavy currents, flats, and surf. Its full clear intermediate profile sinks at 1.5 to 2 inches per second, while the thinner diameter performs well in windy conditions. The extended 41ft head supports both short and long-range casting, with a 3ft front taper for turning over a range of fly sizes and weighted flies. A monofilament core and Tropic Plus coating keep the line slick, supple, and fast shooting in tropical heat.

Really happy with Tropic Clear Intermediate

I fished in Baja at the end of May for Roosterfish — first time. I checked in with Cortland Line as I was prepping for the trip and Richard recommended Tropic Clear Intermediate. I was fishing a 10 wt TFO. This line worked really well. This style of fishing is not for the faint of heart — it’s non-stop casting and stripping for 5 hrs. Throwing 70 - 80 ft casts and double-hand stripping as fast as you can and then repeating, again, and again. And then a fish eats and it’s chaos. I caught 3 roosters including 2 that were 50 - 60 lbs and 3 pacific jack crevalles that were also bruisers. Roosters are so strong — the largest fish took an hour to get to the boat. Tropic Clear Intermediate worked flawlessly!

Clear lines on shallow, clear flats do make a hugh difference with pressured fish and this line shines.
