The Story
When you’re chasing the fish of 10,00 casts, let SA take some of the hassle out of the equation with their all-new Sonar Musky Gen 2 Fly Line. This newly designed line combines a powerful front taper with a super-fast sink so that you can cast those foot-long flies and then keep them right in the strike zone. A line created for use in both fast-flowing rivers and large reservoirs, SA configures the Musky Gen 2 with an intermediate running line and Sink 5 head–add in its powerful taper and this line is ready to successfully sling anything from 15” Game Changers to bulky Bufords. Designed for those tough situations, SA oversized the running line for ease of handling and knot prevention, and a braided multifilament core stands up to a range of weather conditions without fail. Adding convenience to a style of fishing that' anything but, the Sonar Musky Gen 2 Fly Line has you covered whether you’re figure-eighting your way into a boatside eat or wading and stripping large streamers downriver.
Features
SA Line ID, AST, Sonar Sinking Technology, Welded Loops - It' common for musky fly anglers to have a handful of setups on the boat–you’ve got your 10-weight for the smaller flies and occasional pike, your 11 for the more narrow rivers, and then your 12 when the wind picks up and you’ve just tied on a fly with as much shank as leader length–SA makes picking the right line nice and easy with their Line ID. Line ID is an identification system at the tip 1’-2’ of the line that quickly tells you what line you’ve got in your hand.
While large flies used for musky tend to be air-resistant and make casting long distances tough, SA overcomes that problem with their AST (Advanced Shooting Technology) Technology. AST is a patented dry-slick tech that reduces friction and allows your line to cleanly shoot through the guides. And because musky often live in some of the froggiest water out there, full of dirt and grime, the AST' resistance to buildup is sure to leave you smiling after a long day. This added benefit prevents buildup on your lines, adding to easier casting while extending the life of your fly line.
When you need to get your fly into the strike zone and keep it there, SA' Sonar Technology is just the right addition. Sonar utilizes a proprietary tungsten formula paired with a unique taper to get your flies down at the right speed and maximize time in the sweet spot during your retrieve.
With the Welded Loops on the Musky Gen 2 Fly Line, SA gives you two sold advantages. One, changing leaders has never been easier, and two, these reinforced loops have the strength to stand up to anything from a harsh snag in a logjam to a furious 50 that' coming in hot right towards your fly.
Uses
Streamers - Musky are apex predators; musky eat meat; musky make you go to great lengths to get your hands on the largest flies available, and this line is designed to throw any streamer out there, no matter how many shanks or long Schlappen Feathers are in the build. With its powerful taper, this line easily delivers flies over a foot in length, and its sink rate, coupled with the Sonar tech, lets you cover a wide range of water depths and present any fly in your box.
Temp
Cold to Moderate - From a February day on the James River to a warm summer afternoon in upper Wisco, this line can handle all of the cold to warm climates you may find musky living in. If you were to try and use this line in a truly warm/tropical destination, you’ll quickly find that it softens up and gets limp, however.
Taper/Weight
More Mass Towards the Front of the Head - When you’re throwing the massive flies that musky usually demand, you need a fast-action rod and a powerful line that loads the rod and delivers big flies. The Musky Gen 2 Fly Line has a super-compact 25’ head and an aggressive taper that focuses the mass towards the front of the head. This taper is perfect for long days spent casting, and casting, and casting some more without feeling fatigued, and it has an excellent configuration for modern musky fly rods.
