Cortland Trout Boss DT Fly Line
For over 100 years Cortland has been designing and developing some of the most innovative fly fishing lines in the industry. All Cortland lines are made with the newest technologies and materials in their Cortland, NY (USA) factory.
Similar to fiberglass rods, double tapered lines have become very popular again in recent years - and rightly so, because this classic type of fly line has a lot to offer. While WF lines can only be placed gently on the water at certain line lengths, DT lines are known for their very harmonious loop pattern and impressive precision at multiple line lengths. So when it comes to the soulful presentation of a dry fly, DT lines like the modern Cortland Trout Boss Double Taper are sure to please!
Unlike classic DT lines, the Trout Boss Double Taper features an aggressive front taper that gives you groundbreaking performance in the close range. Thus, you can accurately present your fly at short distances - undoubtedly one of the most important skills for small-stream fishing! But even at longer distances, it offers you a considerable advantage compared to typical WF lines: Thanks to its double taper design, it also allows controlled casts at distances beyond the head length of a WF line for the perfect placement of the fly. Unlike a WF head, the Trout Boss Double Taper gives you perfect power transfer at all distances. In addition, thanks to the increasing weight distribution towards the center of the line, it is great for all kinds of roll casts - and not only at close range, but also at longer distances.
Our conclusion: The modern Cortland Trout Boss Double Taper Fly Line enables a perfect presentation, with which you will be able to convince even the pickiest fish - with overhead or roll casts in very close range AND long distances!
Tip: DT lines have two lives! If you've fished and worn the line, you can simply turn it around and have a line with a quasi-new tip. In addition, thanks to this feature, in the case of the Cortland Trout Boss Double Taper, you can always choose between two different colored tips.
