Cortland Precision Tropic Plus Fly Line, WF-7- F／I, Ghost Tip, Sand／Clear, NIB!
The Cortland Precision Tropic Plus Fly Line (WF-7-F/I, Ghost Tip, Sand/Clear, NIB!) is a high-performance saltwater fly line designed for warm-water conditions. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Specs & Features:
– Line Type: Weight Forward (WF) floating (F/I = Floating/Intermediate)
– Weight: 7-weight (ideal for medium-sized saltwater species like bonefish, permit, or redfish)
– Ghost Tip: A clear or translucent tip section for stealthy presentations in spooky fish scenarios.
– Color: Sand/Clear – blends well in tropical flats environments.
– Taper: Optimized for quick loading and accurate casting at varying distances.
– Core: Braided multifilament for durability and smooth shooting.
– Coating: Tropical-specific formulation that stays slick in warm water (resists softening).
– Condition: NIB (New in Box) – unused, original packaging.
Best Uses:
– Saltwater flats fishing (bonefish, tarpon, permit, snook, etc.)
– Tropical climates (Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida Keys, etc.)
– Clear water situations where stealth is key (ghost tip helps avoid spooking fish).
Why Choose This Line?
– Cortland’s reputation for high-quality fly lines.
– Tropic Plus is designed to handle heat better than standard freshwater lines.
– Smooth casting performance with minimal memory.
If you’re targeting wary fish in clear, warm waters, this is a solid choice. Since it’s NIB, it’s a great deal if priced fairly (retail is typically $80–$100).
