Color Black / Ice Blue
Taper Aggressive
Line Profile Sinking Head / Intermediate Running Line
Best Use Depth & Heavy Current
The Striped Bass Sink 8 is built for cooler saltwater conditions where depth, current, and larger flies demand a faster-sinking setup. Its Type 8 sinking head helps get patterns down quickly, while the intermediate running line creates a smoother transition through the cast and retrieve. Designed with an aggressive taper, Cold Salt coating, X-Strong Core, Shooting Technology, and dual welded loops, this line is made for striped bass, bluefish, false albacore, and bonito when the fish are holding deeper or the current is moving hard.
