Cortland's 50+ Series Saltwater Fly Lines are engineered for anglers facing the most challenging saltwater environments. With a 50-pound-plus braided core, these lines are built to handle the intense pressure of large, powerful saltwater species like tarpon, tuna, giant trevally, and billfish. Whether you’re casting in shallow flats or offshore depths, Cortland's 50+ Series is designed to deliver uncompromising strength, control, and casting distance. Each line in this series is crafted to enhance the angler’s experience, with tailored options to match different fishing conditions and techniques. From fighting aggressive fish in warm tropical waters to making long-distance casts into the wind, Cortland’s 50+ Series Saltwater Fly Lines provide the durability and reliability needed for the toughest saltwater challenges.
Strength and Precision in Every Cast with Specialized Line Options
The 50+ Series Saltwater Fly Lines offer a range of specialized options, allowing anglers to choose a line perfectly suited for their target species and fishing conditions. The 50+ Cannon model, for example, is designed to deliver flies over long distances, featuring an over-weighted head that loads fast-action rods with ease and precision. This line’s power and reach make it ideal for casting in windy conditions or reaching distant schools of fish, giving anglers the edge they need when targeting open-water species.
For those focused on deep-sea species, the 50+ Heavy Sink line is equipped with a 30-foot Type 8 sinking head that transitions smoothly into an intermediate running line. This setup allows the fly to sink quickly and steadily, reaching deeper saltwater columns where large predators lurk. The 50+ Billfish line, on the other hand, is tailored specifically for big-game species like billfish. Its 30-foot Type 6 sinking head and high-visibility orange tip allow for precise control when presenting flies in turbulent waters.
Advanced Technology for Enduring Performance in Saltwater Conditions
Cortland’s 50+ Series Saltwater Fly Lines incorporate advanced technology to meet the demands of extreme saltwater environments. The lines feature the Tropic Plus coating, which keeps the line slick, smooth, and easy to handle, even in high temperatures. Unlike other lines that can become sticky or soft in hot conditions, the Tropic Plus coating ensures that the line remains stable and fast-shooting, reducing friction for longer casts. Additionally, each line is treated with ColorLast technology, preventing the color from fading or bleeding over time, even with repeated exposure to harsh sunlight and saltwater. This durability not only extends the life of the line but also ensures consistent visibility, so anglers can maintain control over their cast and presentation.
Another key feature is the braided nylon multifilament core that reinforces each line, providing minimal stretch and maximum strength for reliable hook sets and control. This core allows anglers to feel even subtle bites, ensuring quick, effective responses to each strike. The combination of the multifilament core, Tropic Plus coating, and ColorLast technology results in a fly line that not only meets but exceeds the demands of saltwater fishing.
An All-in-One Solution for Dedicated Saltwater Anglers
The 50+ Series Saltwater Fly Lines are available in line weights ranging from WF10 to WF14, catering to a variety of fishing styles and conditions. With options for floating, intermediate, and deep-sinking applications, the 50+ Series is a versatile line collection that supports anglers in adapting to any saltwater fishing situation. Whether you’re casting large flies in shallow flats or targeting deeper water with a heavy sink tip, this series offers a solution for every technique.
Cortland’s dedication to quality and innovation has led to the creation of the 50+ Series, designed specifically for anglers who seek power, precision, and dependability in saltwater environments. When you're chasing the strongest fish in the sea, you need gear that won’t back down. Cortland’s 50+ Series Saltwater Fly Lines provide anglers with a comprehensive selection of lines that stand up to the elements and deliver on every cast, ensuring that every fishing experience is a success.
