With the 444 Intermediate, Cortland introduces a sea trout fly line that feels right at home in the Baltic Sea and offers an ideal sinking behavior. Even on sunny days in the clear waters of the Baltic, the light blue line doesn’t spook shy fish. It doesn't cut through the surface but instead fishes directly in the sea trout’s strike zone.
The Cortland 444 Seatrout Intermediate is a full intermediate line based on a braided core. The sink rate of the fly line across its entire length is between 1.5 to 2 ips (3.8 - 5.1 cm/sec). This ensures that the line can always fish in the prime strike zone directly beneath the surface waves, even in windy conditions — exactly where sea trout and bass prefer to hunt. Additionally, the full intermediate line significantly improves bite detection, as it maintains direct contact with the fly at all times. The medium-length 9.7-meter head is perfect for coastal fishing in the Baltic Sea. Not too long and not too short, it quickly loads modern rods and cuts through wind effortlessly.
The Seatrout Intermediate is a brilliant, camouflaged line with excellent casting properties, a perfect sink rate for most conditions, and remains extremely supple even in low temperatures. Beyond sea trout fishing, the line also performs well on lakes and reservoirs when targeting large trout with smaller streamers.
