Compact Sink Type 9 Breakdown
Our Specialty Series Compact Sink Type 9 features a 28 ft. type 9 (8-9 IPS) sinking head with a short 3 ft. front taper for turning over large, air-resistant flies. The short 2 ft. back taper helps load this line quickly and makes it extremely shootable. Intermediate running line removes any hinges in the line and gives you a smooth transition into the depths.
This dual colored line features our low stretch braided nylon core for consistent, powerful hook sets and ultimate stopping power. Our signature Shooting Technology keeps your line remaining slick, supple and fast shooting. The black and light blue color combination distinguishes taper change and is traceable yet stealthy in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

FAQ
Our Compact Sink fly lines are built for both medium and warm water environments. This line will perform best in temperatures between 50 and 70+ degrees (F).
The taper design for our Compact Sink Fly Lines were built overly aggressive to cast large flies, punch through wind and deliver flies where they need to go despite the conditions. The short body and short rear taper allows for minimal false casts while achieving maximum distance. The short front taper will turn over any large fly or weighted pattern with ease. This line is built overweighted for quick loading and fast shooting.
The black and light blue color combination distinguishes taper change and proper loading point. The black head paired with the light blue running line is extremely stealthy while traceable.
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.

Shad/Striper slayer
Get down to the fish, strips and casts with ease. Hammered the shad first day out of the box on Upper Roanoke. Did the same on stripers the next day on Lower Roanoke. My new favorite depth charge.
