The Cortland Tropical Plus Series Tarpon Fly Line is built for anglers who need quick delivery, strong turnover, and dependable performance in hot saltwater conditions. Designed specifically for tarpon, this floating weight-forward line helps capitalize on fast opportunities when fish are cruising, feeding, and changing direction on the flats.
The Tarpon Taper features a short 7-foot body that transfers energy quickly into the cast for efficient fly delivery. A long 31-foot back taper helps carry line in the air for longer casts and allows for quick pickups when fish are on the move, while the short 3-foot front taper turns over tarpon patterns and weighted flies with confidence.
Built with a strong monofilament core and Cortland’s slick-hard Tropic Plus coating, this line is designed to resist tangling and remain slick, supple, and fast shooting in blistering heat. The aqua green and sand color combination helps distinguish the taper change while staying stealthy on the flats.
