FAQs

What is the difference between Hover and Clear models?

The Hover model has a sink rate of 1.0 ips (inches per second), while the Clear model sinks at 1.5 ips. Choose based on desired depth and water conditions.

How do I choose the correct line weight?

Match the line weight to your rod's recommended weight. For example, use a WF5 line on a 5-weight rod.

How often should I replace my fly line?

Replace your fly line when it shows signs of wear, such as cracks, cuts, or loss of slickness. The lifespan depends on usage and care.

Can I use this line in saltwater?

While designed for freshwater, this line can be used in saltwater, but rinse thoroughly after each use to remove salt residue.

How do I attach the backing to the fly line?

Use a nail knot or a similar secure knot to connect the backing to the fly line.

How should I store my fly line?

Store the line in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can also store it on a fly line spool.

What kind of leader should I use with this line?

Use a tapered leader that matches your fishing conditions. Consider a fluorocarbon leader for improved sinking and abrasion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Line tangles or knots during casting.

Check for any kinks or tangles in the line before casting. Ensure your leader is properly connected and that your casting technique is smooth. Replace the line if it's severely damaged.

Line sinks too quickly.

Ensure you have the appropriate sink rate for your fishing conditions. Check your leader's buoyancy and try using a floating leader.

Difficulty achieving casting distance.

Practice your casting technique. Ensure the line is clean and free of debris. Make sure your rod and line are matched correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Reel Compatibility: Ensure your reel has sufficient backing capacity for the fly line size you select. Consult your reel's specifications or a fly fishing specialist for assistance.

  4. Leader Setup: Connect your leader to the fly line using a loop-to-loop connection or a nail knot.
