Orvis Pro Power Taper Fly Line—Smooth
Load fast-action fly rods deeply and quickly with the premium Orvis Pro Power Taper Smooth weight-forward floating fly line, available at Casters Fly Shop. Designed explicitly to optimize high-performance, fast-recovery rod blanks, the PRO Power Taper is built a half-size heavier than standard industry grain weights. This advanced compound taper design enhances rod "feel" and timing during your cast, making it exceptionally easy to turn over large, air-resistant flies and complex subsurface multi-fly rigs.
Casting performance and technical compound tapers:
• Advanced weight-forward design: Features a 50-foot head that provides exceptional line control, loop stability, and efficient energy transfer to your leader. The elongated head excels at on-water maintenance, allowing for precise mending and long, natural drifts across complex current seams.
• AST Plus continuous slickness: Formulated with advanced AST Plus treatment that is completely integrated into the line jacket. This additive continuously migrates outward to provide lifelong slickness, allowing the line to shoot effortlessly, float exceptionally high, and naturally shed river dirt and oils.
• Integrated Orvis Line ID: Features a clean, permanent laser-printed identification system on the jacket that quickly details the exact line taper, weight, and functionality. Complete with an enhanced welded loop for rapid, bulk-free leader attachments that stand up to repeated bench use.
Color strategy and length specifications:
Every Orvis PRO Smooth Power Taper line measures 90 feet in total length and incorporates three distinct color sections to optimize your distance tracking: an 8-foot stealth tip, a 30-foot front section, and a distinct rear taper and running line marker. Pair this premium weight-forward floating line with our high-end fly rods, tapered fluorocarbon leaders, and handcrafted patterns to fish with absolute confidence.
