Tarpon fly line

I have been waiting for a company to put out a 40 foot head. At first I thought the line was going to be like all shooting head lines but was pleasantly surprised with the ease of turnover at 80 feet.....It is perfectly weighted in the right spots ...As a Tarpon fly fishing guide here in Boca Grande we do get really excellent casters who can easily handle the 40 foot head.. Already throwing it and clients love it!!!

An excellent Tarpon Line that does not break the bank

An excellent Tarpon Line that does not break the bank. I prefer this to a lot of very expensive alternatives.

Awesome Line

I ordered my tarpon line as well as a handful of other Cortland items last week and had them at my door in 4 days. I instantly put this line on my 10wt to be used for jack crevalle, cobia, and large redfish. Out of the box I was impressed with the coating of this line, it is very smooth and looks sweet. After spooling up my 10wt I headed out to look for jacks and I was in luck. I found jacks tailing and got setup for a shot and bombed a 6" EP baitfish into the school and hooked up. This line casted a bigger fly very well and with the same accuracy that I can get from my 7 and 8 weight rods. Another thing I noticed with this line is it does not hold memory like the other brands do. This is huge to me because it means more shots at fish and a lot less frustration. I will probably buy the 12wt version whenever I put together my next setup. Thanks Cortland!

Very good line...

I feel that this line is true to the line weight of the rod. I wanted a line that would work well with a fast action rod, and carry lots of line in the air with good a sized fly. it's really good for that application if you have good casting skills . I used the 11 wt version on a Gloomis NRX while tarpon fishing with large flies and decided to give it a try on my 7wt. I'm not disappointed. Again, if u are looking for standard weight + 1/2 or 3/4, this is not it.

A Great Permit Line....

An excellent line,; I've been using on an old but still very good 10 wt. Sage xi2 for years. I also use on a G. Loomis Crosscurrent Pro 10 wt. I'm a permit fisherman mostly, so need to make long accurate casts. I over line these rods so my line is an 11 wt.
I like that the Cortland lines don't have a strong "memory". Many other lines I've tried take some sffort to relax.
