Overview
Built for anglers targeting stripers, this fly line series is designed to support streamer fishing with a clear intermediate sink tip and a front-biased weight that helps load rods at close range. The line is intended to get flies into the strike zone while offering a low-profile presentation for spooky fish, and the luminous running line on the intermediate version is suited to night fishing. It also includes density compensation on sinking lines and RIO’s SlickCast coating for a smooth, durable feel. For hunters and anglers who want a purpose-driven line for subsurface work, this is a focused option with a clear emphasis on control and presentation.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The clear intermediate sink tip is designed for a specific presentation style, so it may not be the right choice if you want a more general-purpose floating line.
- The front-biased weight is intended to load rods at close range, which can be a trade-off if most of your fishing is at longer distances.
- The luminous running line is only listed for the intermediate line, so that feature is not part of every line in the series.
- This is a specialized striper-focused line, so anglers fishing other patterns or conditions may prefer a different line type depending on their setup.
