Amplitude Big Water Taper

Podrobný popis

The first series of lines to feature the revolutionary AST PLUS slickness additive, the Amplitude will shoot farther and last longer than any other line on the market. It’s slickness down to a science. Every now and then, we come up with something in our lab that has the potential to change fly fishing forever. The Amplitude Big Water Taper is one of those creations. Built on the industry’s first 100-lb. monofilament core, the BWT is the world’s strongest fly line and can handle even the world’s largest game fish. Arapaima? Check. Giant Trevally? Double check. If you’ve got a bucket list full of huge fish, we’ve got your line right here.

- Features the revolutionary AST Plus slickness additive for superior shooting ability and increased durability - High-contrast sighter to identify the back of the line when fighting fish on long runs - Floating Texture on the tip section for the ultimate in flotation - Shooting Texture running line delivers longer casts - Built one size heavy to load quickly and deliver the biggest flies to the furthest targets - Specially designed for tropical environments - Built on a 100-lb. core - SA AMPLITUDE BWT WF X F (X = line weight)

You think your floating line isn’t floating as well as it used to do, or isn’t as slick as it used to be? The reasons and the ways to fix this are probably pretty simple. Lines float because they are lighter than water, and because they are hydrophobic; they repel water. For lines to float their best, both of these features need to be working. The density of your line won’t change, it won’t absorb water and become waterlogged and sink, but if it gets dirty it won’t repel the water well and it will float lower in the surface tension and may get pulled under now and then. The key to good flotation is keeping your lines clean so the hydrophobic surface works. Cleaning with soap and water on a cloth removes most of the dirt, but cleaning pads work even better. Properly cleaned, your lines will float better, cast better and last longer, certainly a good trade-off for a couple of minutes of line maintenance. To use the cleaning pad, pinch the pad over the line so that the abrasive, non-foam side touches the line. Pull the fly line through the pad under some tension. Repeat this process until some of the fly line color is visible on the pad. Clean your lines every 2-3 outings, or anytime you think dirt is hindering their performance. The cleaning pads are easy to carry in your vest or tackle bag and can be used anytime, wet or dry. Note that flyline dressing can be used to reduce friction during competition- or practice casting scenarios, but we don’t recommend it for fishing.
