Backcountry Breakdown
Nothing gets the heart pumping like spotting a school of tailing bones in gin clear tropical water. We developed this line to perform and dominate flats fishing for the smartest Bonefish on the planet.
When targeting Bonefish, capitalizing on every opportunity is a must. That’s why we designed this line to feature a 32 ft. back taper, paired with a short 7 ft. body that will load quickly. The 5 ft. front taper will turn over any size Bonefish fly without sacrificing a soft presentation. The extended back taper will allow you to quickly take shots from close and distant targets while maintaining a controlled loop.
The tri-colored line is built over a monofilament core, finished with our signature Tropic Plus coating. Guaranteeing a slick, fast shooting line that will excel in the hottest flats environments. The white head absorbs minimal light that will blend into the coral and sandy bottoms for the much needed stealth.
The Bonefish line is extremely accurate, easy to cast and versatile. Ready for any Bonefish situation you will be faced with out on the water.

Cleaning your fly line is very important especially when fishing saltwater. Simply pull line off your reel into a clean bucket or tub of freshwater. Put roughly 1oz or more of Cortland’s Line Cleaner solution onto a clean rag or towel. Firmly squeeze the towel with Pro Line Cleaner around the line and slowly pull line through the towel. You should be able to see dirt or discolored streaks on the towel when finished.
