Overview
Built for anglers who want one floating line to cover a wide range of freshwater situations, this 5-weight option is centered around a 42-foot head and a 90-foot total length. The moss and electric green color scheme helps keep the line visually distinct on the water, while the floating design suits surface presentations and general-purpose casting. With a 30-foot head profile and listed weights of 150 grains for the head and 200 grains total head weight, it is aimed at balanced, versatile use rather than a highly specialized setup.

- Moss and electric green color aids line visibility on the water

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a 5wt floating line, so it is intended for that line class rather than heavier or lighter setups.
- The 42 ft head length is a specific taper/head profile, which may feel different than a full-length line depending on casting preferences and rod match.
- The moss/electric green color is functional but may be more visible on the water than lower-profile line colors.
- At 90 ft total length, the usable line beyond the head is part of the design, so anglers who prefer a different head-to-running-line balance may want to verify fit before buying.
