Backyard farm ponds with the 2-weight and a mass of scrappy gills, early-spring perch in your favorite reservoir, slab crappie feeding in the middle of the water column, no matter what panfish situation you find yourself in, SA's all-new Amplitude Smooth Panfish Line has your back. Designed specifically for panfish pursuits, this line features a long head for roll-casting in tight spots, a 6' front taper that turns your leader over when the wind kicks up or when fishing light rods, and SA's AST Plus slickness additive to ensure you're always hitting those long casts when bluegill are cruising the edge of the weeds. Made in line weights 2 through 6, the Amplitude Smooth Panfish Fly Line has an option for nearly every panfish environment you'll encounter--ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and rivers alike. This line is an excellent choice everywhere you can chase bream and panfish.

Features

AST Plus Slickness Additive - Whether you’re shooting line across a pond to that floating dock or bombing one into the lily pads, Scientific Anglers’ AST Plus ensures excellent durability and shootabilty. AST Plus is SA’s new formulation of their patented dry-slick technology that’s 50% slicker than their previous formula and up to 200% more durable than other lines on the market. A solid addition, AST Plus makes your line float higher, last longer, and shoot further.

Improved Dry Tip - Scientific Anglers' Improved Dry Tip is a unique series of microballoons that makes your tip float twice as high as a standard fly line--panfish are known to strike quickly, this tech undoubtedly gives you an upper hand when you need to make fast hooksets, whether stripping a streamer or working a popper.

SA Line ID - When it comes to fishing, it’s important to remove every bit of error you can, and Scientific Anglers’ Line ID makes it easy to always grab the right line or spool. A quick identifier, SA Line ID is an integrated marking system in the first 1’-2’ of the tip section that ensures you won’t accidentally drive to the lake with a 3-weight line and a 6-weight rod.

Welded Loops - With strong welded loops on both the leader to fly line connection and the backing to fly line connection, this line makes it as easy as can be to quickly rig your reel and adjust your leader setup however you need.
