Our Billfish Sinking line is built for tropic environments and will perform best in temperatures above 70 degrees (F). Our Tropic PVC coating is designed to remain hard, slick and supple in the hottest conditions.

The taper design for our Tropic Plus Billfish sinking line was built to cut through wind and water quickly. The 30 ft. type 6 sinking head gets your fly down fast with minimal line drag. This line is built in a 13-15 wt. to load powerful, offshore fly rods.

The Hi-Vis Orange tip and running line allows for easily tracing your fly in the prop wash.

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.

Just the Ticket

I have been searching for a quality fast sinking line to get down in the water column. Between boat drift and current it was difficult at best. This Billfish line suited my needs perfectly. Fast enough sink rate to stay in touch with my fly, and still very manageable casting on my 12 wt to reasonable distances. If you need to get down to those holding deep I can't think of a better line. Highly recommended. This snapper would agree.
