TAIL MASTERY BASS BUG TAPER

You have streamers and swivel snaps hanging from your desk lampshade. Think in terms of bass, both smallmouth and largemouth. The term conehead does not refer to an old comedy sketch. We understand this perfectly. And that's why we designed the Mastery Bass Bug. Similar in design to our Mastery Titan Long, but with a specialized warm-weather liner built to withstand hot temperatures. It is probably the best bass tail ever made. If you have the all-encompassing need to cast large flies for buckets, look no further. This fly line is made for you.

- Designed specifically for casting large, air-resistant dry flies and streamers for bass in rivers, lakes and ponds

- Overweighted by two line sizes to make loading rods and tipping heavy rigs easier; use the line weight designated for your rod

- Extended rear taper for line control and repair capability

- Ideal line for boat or wade fishing

- Features a specialized warm-weather coating for high-temperature fishing

- For use in moderate and warm climates

- Braided multifilament core

- SA MS BASS BUG WF 10

TECHNOLOGY:

ADVANCED SHOOTING TECHNOLOGY: Scientific Anglers' patented dry-slick technology provides seamless line glide, allowing the line to shoot farther as it moves through the guides. Lines with AST easily shed dirt, algae and other parasitic particles, allowing the lines to cast farther, float higher and stay cleaner than traditional lines.

SCIENTIFIC ANGLERS LINE IDENTIFICATION: Discover the scientific anglers line identification system. SA•ID is an innovative line tracking system that allows you to identify your lines at a glance. Who knows if a muzzle is 200 grains or 300? Just look at the SA•ID. The SA•ID can be found on the first 1-2 feet of the tip section of the line.

WELDED LOOP: Exceptionally smooth and durable, our Welded Loops produce smoother casts and easier turnover with a seamless transition from fly line to loop, ensuring softer landings and cleaner pickups. The sleek design also maintains buoyancy for improved line buoyancy and allows for quicker connections between line and leaders or line and backing.

RECOMMENDED CARE:

Do you think your floating line isn't floating as well as it used to or isn't as smooth as it used to be? The reasons and ways to solve this problem are probably quite simple. Fishing lines float because they are lighter than water and because they are hydrophobic; they repel water. In order for the lines to float at their best, both of these features must work. The density of the line will not change, it will not absorb water, it will not soak up and sink, but if it gets dirty it will not repel water well and will float lower in surface tension and may be dragged under water now then. The key to good flotation is to keep the lines clean so the hydrophobic surface works. Cleaning with soap and water on a cloth removes most dirt, but cleaning swabs work even better. Cleaned properly, your lines will float better, cast better and last longer, definitely a good compromise for a couple of minutes of line maintenance. To use the cleaning swab, pinch the swab over the line so that the abrasive, non-foam side touches the line. Pull the line through the pad while maintaining some tension. Repeat this process until some of the fly line color is visible on the pad. Clean your lines every 2-3 rides, or whenever you think dirt is hindering their performance. Cleaning swabs are easy to carry in your vest or gear bag and can be used at any time, wet or dry. Please note that line dressing can be used to reduce drag during competitions or in practical casting scenarios, but we do not recommend it for fishing.
