Overview
Built for flats fishing where stealth matters, this fly line is designed to keep the presentation discreet around wary fish while still supporting long-leader casting. It uses a clear floating tip option and a full clear floating line configuration, giving anglers flexibility based on how much visibility they want in the water. The Bonefish Plus taper is based on Scientific Anglers’ Grand Slam profile and features an extended head length with a lighter, half-heavy weight, while retaining a short front taper for easier turnover. It is aimed at serious saltwater anglers who want a purpose-driven line for technical shallow-water situations, with the trade-off that its specialized design is focused on stealth and presentation rather than general all-around use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 10' clear floating tip adds stealth while still letting you track the fly, but it is a specific presentation choice rather than a full-clear setup.
- This line is built around a Bonefish Plus taper with an extended head length and lighter half-heavy weight, so it is tuned for a particular casting feel and not a one-line-fits-all option.
- The product is positioned for flats and saltwater fly fishing, so anglers outside that use case may not need the clear-tip design or taper profile.
- The description emphasizes slickness and durability features, but those benefits are tied to the line’s construction rather than broad performance guarantees in every fishing condition.
