Cortland Specialty Series Ghost Tip 15 is a weight forward fly line designed for subsurface presentations in clear lakes, reservoirs and rivers. A 15 ft clear intermediate tip carries flies into the upper to middle water column while the floating body and high floating running line maintain easy pickup and line control from a boat or shore.

A 27 ft body with 5 ft front and rear tapers creates a 37 ft head for accurate turnover of nymphs and small streamers. Built in true line size on a monofilament core, Ghost Tip 15 features Shooting Technology for a slick, quick shooting finish and dual welded loops for convenient rigging.

My most used line

Out of all the Cortland lines. this is by far my most used line. I use this line for coho in the saltwater and in freshwater, mostly in a 8# wt . I also use this line for cutthroat trout fishing , both saltwater and freshwater mostly in a 6# wt. I pack this lines for everyone of my fishing adventures.

Ghost tip

I will use it on Rio Gallegos. Shallow clear river with giant Sea-run Brown Trout. They are very wary and take a 10 ft flouro leader of 12 lbs. The Ghost tip will help with very stealthy casts with a single handed rod or two handed rods using snake roll, single spey, and switch casts using a clear intermediate 15 ft tip. Any noise spooks the Sea-runs out of the pool for the day.

Ghost Tip 15

Great line for wade fishing! Keeps you out of the weeds while still prodding depths and fishing at a speed to convert even the most suspicious targets.

Excellent intermediate tip line

I found this line to work well in the lakes where I was fishing for smallmouth bass. It was easy to cast and handled well above sunken trees and cover. I might also like a 10' clear tip line, but found that this worked well with dropoffs. I would highly recommend this line and will use it on rivers for most of the summer.

Casts and Fishes Great

It's one of the best casting Cortland lines there is, and casts amazingly well considering it's a sink tip, which historically are notorious for bad casting. I also like it because it gets a streamer under and allows me to critically manipulate the fly better than any sink tip line I've come across. This makes all the difference in presentation and effectiveness. I'm using it for river fishing.

Love this line

The 10wt line went on the saltwater rig for vacation days, but I’ve used this line many times in the 7wt model and it’s fantastic. I love the ghost tip & how it slowlyyy descends instead of straight to the bottom. It allows you to slow down the presentations tremendously in shallow waters!
