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.
The Cortland Ghost Tip Fly Line is a floating WF line with a 5’ (1.5 meters) long transparent intermediate tip, which allows the fly to be fished below the surface. The 37’ (11.3 meters) head is very easy to handle and allows for a precise presentation. The transparent tip is almost invisible to the fish and allows the use of short leaders without spooking fish, which is a significant advantage in windy weather because casting long leaders in the wind is quite a chore. Last but not least, its built-in running line has outstanding shooting characteristics, so you can fish for a long time without getting tired.
Of course, all of these are excellent qualities for fishing with streamers, wet flies and nymphs, so this modern fly line works great not only on the coast, but also in streams and lakes. In short: with the Cortland Ghost Tip 5’ Fly Line, your flies pass the surface film and dive into the dangerous underwater world - and the most easily-spooked fish might just commit thanks to the transparent tip!
The Ghost Tip Fly Lines are equipped with welded loops at both ends allowing for easy connections to both the leader and the backing.
