Tropic Redfish

I absolutely love this line. It cast like an absolute dream, rod loads quick and can get ample line out in a few false casts. The line lands softly on the water. I’ll be putting this line on all my reels. I used this line for three days in Biscayne catching Bonefish and it outperformed all expectations.

My new bonefish line

Guiding in Hawaii, I’ve started using this line for my clients and I. Holds up great against Hawaii big bones and the coral you have to untangle from. Love it!

Incredible line. I fish from a canoe on flats in FL. It really turns over meatier flies and gets me some real distance from a sitting or standing position. It’s also my first Cortland line. Will come back for more.

Cortland Lines are consistent performers

there are several quality makers of fly lines. some lines match up better or worse than others with specific rods or casting styles, but I have always found Cortland lines to be reliable and consistent performers. I still use a 20 year old Cortland 555 Tropic floating 9 weight. there is no need to experiment with other brands that may or may not cast as well and last as long.

Tropical Redfish floating fly line is also perfect for Snook and baby Tarpon.

Florida legend Captain Frank Catino told me the the Tropical Redfish line was also his favorite for Snook and Baby Tarpon. It is smooth a butter and a pleasure to cast. I am using those lines in size 6, 7 and 8 now for Redfish, Seatrout, Baby Tarpon and Snook in the mangroves backwater lagoons and creeks in East Coast Central Florida.

Great tropical floating line

Casts well, and has minimal memory. So far I'm impressed and happy with the line quality!
