Cortland 50+ Cannon Big Game Tropic Series Floating 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+ Cannon Big Game Tropic Series Floating fly line is equipped with this extremely strong core to fish for the biggest predators. In addition to the ingenious Fifty+Core core, the Cannon also features an exceptional taper designed to cast big flies and counter windy conditions effortlessly, like a cannon. The short head, only 9.14 m long, has so much power that even against the wind, the GT or tarpon fly can be placed where it needs to land, even against the wind. To achieve this, the weight of the head has been shifted far to the front in order to achieve maximum shooting characteristics. A 4.5 m long, adjoining handling zone ensures that the line can withstand the enormous loads and that you have sufficient grip when shooting. However, it is not only the thicker diameter of the handling zone compared to the running line that provides the extra grip, but also the grip set technology. 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 casting performance 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.
In short: Whether GT, tarpon or billfish, the cannon among saltwater lines, the Cortland 50+ Cannon Big Game Tropic Series floating fly line offers outstanding shooting characteristics, even with large flies and in headwinds. In addition, Cortland technologies offer maximum durability, longevity and grip in high temperatures on the flats. An ingenious line when it comes to casting to the big fish and landing them safely!
