The Scientific Anglers Magnitude Textured Bonefish Plus 10′ Clear Tip is a high-performance fly line designed for saltwater anglers targeting bonefish and other flats species. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
1. Line Type & Design
– Textured Surface: The line has a micro-textured coating to reduce friction, improving casting distance and shootability in windy conditions.
– Clear Tip (10’): The extended clear tip section provides stealth when presenting flies to wary bonefish in shallow, clear water.
– Weight-Forward (WF) Taper: Optimized for quick loading and precise presentations at varying distances.
2. Core & Durability
– AST (Advanced Shooting Technology) Core: A high-density, low-stretch core for enhanced line speed and durability in harsh saltwater environments.
– Saltwater-Ready: Resistant to UV damage, abrasion, and tropical temperatures.
3. Intended Use
– Primary Target Species: Bonefish, permit, redfish, and other saltwater flats species.
– Ideal Conditions: Shallow flats, windy environments, and situations requiring delicate presentations.
4. Available Weights
Typically comes in weights like 7, 8, or 9-weight, matching standard bonefish rod setups.
5. Advantages
– Longer casts: The textured coating and optimized taper aid in shooting line.
– Stealthy presentations: The clear tip avoids spooking fish in ultra-clear water.
– Durability: Built to withstand coral, sand, and saltwater exposure.
Potential Considerations
– Texture Feel: Some anglers may notice slight noise when stripping line.
– Maintenance: Rinse after saltwater use to prolong lifespan.
This line is a top choice for anglers who prioritize distance, accuracy, and stealth in tropical flats fishing. Pair it with a fast-action 8 or 9-weight rod for best performance.
