FAQ

Cleaning your fly line is very important especially when fishing saltwater. Simply pull line off your reel into a clean bucket or tub of freshwater. Put roughly 1oz or more of Cortland’s Line Cleaner solution onto a clean rag or towel. Firmly squeeze the towel with Pro Line Cleaner around the line and slowly pull line through the towel. You should be able to see dirt or discolored streaks on the towel when finished.

Great Fly Line!

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, shoots out smooth and loads the rod very well.

The streamer floater!

Excellent quality line that performs above expectations. Launches larger dry flies and heavy streamers. In summer creeks, I can use this with a longer leader and drift streamers with no need for sinking line!
