Cortland 50+ Big Game Tropic Series Full Intermediate Fly Line
The Fifty+ series from Cortland is a range of fly lines that can withstand the strongest predators on the flats and open water, from Giant Trevalley to Billfish. The lines all feature the 50+ core, a core that can withstand more than 50 lb to keep the powerful predators under control and apply plenty of pressure.
The Cortland 50+ Big Game Tropic Series Full Intermediate fly line is equipped with this extremely strong core to fish for large GT's, tarpon or billfish. In addition to the Fifty+ core, the fly line also has the Grip Set Coating developed by Cortland. A special coating from Cortland that offers maximum grip, whether when casting or setting hooks. At the same time, the saltwater line does not lose any of its suppleness and smoothness, so that the shooting ability is not affected. This is also due to the Tropic Plus property, a perfect blend of advanced polymers for a hard, durable surface that remains smooth even in extreme heat. The construction of the head has also been designed for demanding fishing on the flats or the open sea. A 12.5 m long head that is stable and balanced in the air for extremely long casts. Most of the weight of the head is in the first 3 meters, so that the line already loads the rod when the butt is not completely outside the rod, the following meters of the head are a constantly thinning, long rear taper. This design allows the line to shoot at any time. The powerful front section not only ensures that the rod is loaded quickly, it also enables an ingenious turnover with large streamers and an assertive cast into the wind!
In short: The Cortland 50+ Big Game Tropic Series Full Intermediate fly line is an ingenious fly line for fishing for GT, tarpon or even larger predators in the open sea. In addition to the ingenious casting properties of the line, which offer maximum casting distances in all conditions, the line has other technologies such as the 50 lb+ core and the crip set coating to land the fish safely and quickly.
