Scientific Anglers Magnitude Smooth Balance Clear Float Fly Line

A leap forward in clear line design, the all-new Scientific Anglers Magnitude Smooth Balance Full Clear Fly Line combines unmatched stealth with a buttery-smooth feel and exceptional control. Built for anglers who demand both precision and invisibility, this line redefines what a clear floating line can do. With the same high-performance taper as the Textured Balance but a smooth, silent surface finish, it delivers effortless handling and refined presentations when chasing selective saltwater species. Whether stalking bonefish on glassy flats, targeting redfish over shallow grass, or waiting for the perfect shot at a permit, this full-clear, warm-water line offers complete confidence when subtlety and accuracy matter most, while line weights beginning with a 7 and ending at a 12 provide all of the options you need for just about every salty situation.

Features

SA Line ID - A simple, reliable identifier printed in the first 1'-2' of the tip of the line allows you to instantly recognize your setup—no guesswork required when swapping spools or rigging up before sunrise.

Duracoat - Built on a dual-polymer system that optimizes stiffness, abrasion resistance, and slickness, SA's Duracoat technology combines a supple inner core for minimal memory with a tough, slick outer layer. The result is a line that holds its form, resists wear from tropical conditions, and shoots with impressive smoothness day after day.

EST+ (Enhanced Slickness Technology Plus) - SA’s most advanced eco-friendly slickness additive, EST+ delivers unmatched durability and shooting performance while keeping the line cleaner and smoother longer. Each cast feels effortless, and line maintenance becomes nearly nonexistent with this advanced technology.

CST (Clear Floating Technology) - Using naturally buoyant polymers, Clear Floating Technology creates a stealthy, fully transparent or partially clear line that maintains high flotation without sacrificing control.

Welded Loops - Sleek, buoyant, convenient, and durable, Welded Loops provide clean connections to leaders and backing, promoting seamless turnover and painless rigging.

 

Uses

Streamers, Crustaceans, Poppers - The Magnitude Smooth Balance Clear Float Line is perfect for delivering a wide range of patterns when targeting saltwater species such as bonefish, redfish, snook, and permit where stealth and control are essential. The refined taper allows anglers to deliver shrimp and crab patterns delicately to skittish fish or bomb out longer casts to cruising targets without losing accuracy, while the line's taper also allows you to present both heavy and air-resistant streamers just as well as smaller crustaceans. Whether you’re sight fishing the flats or working structure along the coast, this line offers confidence in every presentation.

 

Temp

Warm to Tropical - Scientific Anglers engineered the Magnitude Smooth Balance Line for tropical and warm saltwater conditions, maintaining optimal shootability and low memory even in high heat. This line is not recommended for cold water or freshwater environments, and you'll find that it stiffens up in cold water.

Taper/Weight

Refined/Balanced Taper - The Magnitude Smooth Balance Clear Line's taper provides a smooth energy transfer with a slightly refined front end, helping maintain precision with typical saltwater fly sizes. This taper was meticulously designed to allow performance in close as well as at a distance--it's the ultimate tool for harsh days on the flats where seizing every opportunity regardless of how perfect the shot is or isn't. True-to-weight design ensures consistent performance across a wide range of rod actions, while its 43.5' head makes for soft presentations and all of the power you need to load modern fast-action rods while dealing with gusty conditions
