Cortland’s Tropic Plus Backcountry Fly Line is the perfect choice for anglers targeting a variety of fish species in tropical waters. Whether you're stalking redfish in shallow waters at dawn, casting to tarpon in the mangroves, or enticing snook with a pilchard imitation, this line offers the versatility needed for any backcountry situation.
With an extended rear taper combined with Cortland’s proven Shooting Technology, the line enables quick directional changes and precise casts at any distance. Whether the fish is right at your feet or at maximum casting range, this line handles every challenge. The floating construction with a monofilament core ensures optimal performance, while the subtle seaweed and sand coloration allows for a stealthy presentation. For ease of use, the line features dual welded loops, making leader changes and backing connections effortless. Additionally, the special Tropic Plus technology provides a durable, hard-finish coating that maintains its smoothness even in extreme heat. From Florida to Belize, this line remains reliable—even after hours on a sunbaked boat deck. However, in colder climates, it may become stiffer.
The Tropic Plus Backcountry line excels with streamers, poppers, and crab patterns, allowing for a smooth presentation of various fly styles. Its well-balanced taper design not only ensures precise short-range casts but also delivers powerful long-distance casts to reach fish farther away. It strikes the perfect balance between power and finesse for any backcountry scenario.
