Cortland Braided Nylon Shooting/Running Line

Pair it with the head of your choice for some two-hand action or use it for modern nymphing techniques, no matter what you need Cortland's Braided Nylon Shooting/Running Line for, you can rest easy knowing it's a safe bet. Cortland makes this running line in a range of diameters to allow you to fine-tune your system exactly how you like, and with its braided multifilament core, it naturally prevents tangling while still having all of the power needed to perfectly set the hook.

Features

Dual Welded Loops - Whether you're swapping out your head or a long mono leader for nymphing, the welded loops on this line are sure to make your life nice and easy. A unique design, this level line has one larger loop and one that's normal-sized so as to make swapping heads nice and easy.

Uses

Streamers, Wet Flies, and Nymphs - Since this is a level running line, the options are nearly endless for what flies you can use. However, this line was designed around swinging flies and chuck and duck nymphing approaches, so chances are, you'll be presenting heavy nymphs or wet flies and streamers most often.

Temp

Cold/Warm - Whether you're swinging flies in the summer for smallmouth or getting your nymphs down deep in the winter for steelhead, this line handles cold to warm water temps very well.

Taper/Weight

Level Line - This running line has a completely level construction with no taper.
