The SL (Specialized Line) from Cortland’s 444 Classic Series is a timeless all-rounder! The versatile taper is perfected for long-distance casting and has proven itself countless times over the last 40 years. The mint green color of this floating line, made using the latest technology by Cortland in the USA, is highly visible, allowing you to keep track of your fly at all times. Thanks to its medium-length belly of approximately 12.5 meters, the Cortland SL can be presented extremely smoothly and is easily mendable or lifted from the water over longer distances. This line offers beginners and experienced casters precise line control and can be effortlessly cast with an overhead cast, roll cast, or switch cast. It was designed for those who need precise distance casting and want to maintain full control while fishing for trout, grayling, and more. In higher line classes, it is perfect for targeting carp or catching Atlantic salmon with a single-hand rod on smaller rivers.

Design and Technology:

• Optimized taper design for effortless casting: The 444 SL features a longer and slimmer taper, enabling smooth and efficient casts. It provides the perfect balance between precision and distance, allowing you optimal line control in both tight, technical situations and during long casts. The extended front taper also ensures a smooth and precise presentation of the fly.
• Excellent casting characteristics: The smooth, abrasion-resistant coating of the 444 SL reduces friction to a minimum, allowing the line to glide effortlessly through the rod guides. Its casting qualities make it a true performance all-rounder—whether you're fishing on small trout streams or larger lakes.
• Weather resistance: Thanks to its durable monofilament core, the Cortland 444 SL retains its shape even under extreme weather conditions. It is suitable for a variety of fishing environments, providing consistent performance in temperatures ranging from mild spring mornings to hot summer days.
• Versatility for different techniques: Whether you’re fishing with dry flies, nymphs, or streamers, the 444 SL adapts seamlessly to different fishing techniques. Its floating construction makes it ideal for precise presentations and easy mending of the line, while also providing enough power to cover longer distances.
• Welded front loop: A welded front loop at the end of the line allows for quick and easy leader changes. The loop is strong and durable, enabling you to safely fight even the hardest fighting fish.
