FLY LINE AMPLITUDE SMOOTH TITAN LONG

For higher turnover with line control. To deliver the biggest flies to the biggest fish at the farthest distance. We've taken our revolutionary AST Plus polish additive and put it into the all-new Amplitude Smooth Series. These lines are as smooth as traditional lines, but have greater durability and smoothness thanks to AST Plus, which is mixed directly into our liners. Each line is constructed with three colors to identify separate parts of the line and welded rings for quick and easy assembly. SA Amplitude Smooth lines are simply the best smooth fly lines in the world and are available in a variety of freshwater and saltwater specific tapers.

- Features the revolutionary AST Plus gloss additive for superior pulling ability and longer life

- Designed to hit bass; perfect for pike, carp and for throwing streamers at trout

- Powerful head loads quickly and carries large flies to distant targets

- Built in two heavy sizes for tipping large rigs use the line weight designated for your rod

- Extended rear taper for line control and repair capability

- Ideal line for boat or wade fishing

- For use in moderate and cold climates

- Braided multifilament core

- SA AMP SMTH TTN LNG WF XF (X = line thickness)

TECHNOLOGY:

ADVANCED RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY PLUS: A new formulation of our patented dry-slick technology ensures continuous thread glide throughout its life. Up to 50% stronger than the original AST and 200% stronger than the competition. Fly lines with AST Plus cast farther, float higher and stay cleaner than any line ever built.

THE SLIMMEST LINES ON THE MARKET: Our revolutionary AST Plus smoothing additive produces the shiniest fly lines on the market, period. Fly lines with AST Plus are 50% slipperier than lines with our old AST slippery additive and nearly 70% slipperier than the closest competitor. Reduced drag results in longer casts, easier catches out of the water and lines that last longer than ever built

FLY LINE FRICTION – LOWER VALUES ARE THINNER

Y= Friction (Resistance = oz – f) | X = Length (inches)

How to read this graph: When we measure smoothness, we focus on grams of friction (or resistance) at startup. Friction on a fly line through the guides is inherently a bad thing, so lower drag values ​​mean the lines are smoother and therefore work better. In this graph you can see that lines with AST Plus have much less friction at startup than lines with our old AST, and even less friction than lines from our major competitors.

ENHANCED DURABILITY: In addition to creating the smoothest lines on the planet, AST Plus increases the life of your fly lines by leaps and bounds. During our durability tests, threads with AST Plus consistently performed better than any other thread on the market. On average, lines with AST Plus last 862% longer than lines from our top three competitors.

How to read this chart: In our durability tests, we attach a weight to the end of a fishing line and pass it through the tip of a fly rod. One cycle constitutes the lowering and raising of this weight to provide friction through the guide. Looking at this graph, it is evident that lines with AST Plus last much longer than lines from our three main competitors. In fact, lines with AST Plus last over 120% longer than the closest competition and, on average, 862% longer than the top three competitors.

MAINTAINS SMOOTHNESS: One of the most unique and beneficial aspects of AST Plus is that it is a coating additive, meaning it is built right down to the core of each line and not just a coating that can wear off quickly. As our lines wear, AST Plus moves through the coating, constantly moving towards the surface to regenerate smoothness. This means that lines with AST Plus retain that ready-to-use softness long after you spool one onto your reel.

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 LOOPS: 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 that 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.
