Product Description
Before something can be called a "classic'' it has to stand the test of time. The Cortland 444 Classic Peach has stood all the tests that generations of anglers have thrown at it and emerged as one of the finest fly lines of all time. Extremly supple in the hand, fast through the guides, high floating, and legendary for it's durability. Precise tapers for ease of casting, turning over long fine leaders, or slapping down a #6 Woolly Bugger with ease. Cold water? No problem! The 444 stays flexible in any water.
This is a good, smooth fly line that I use nearly everyday. It is very durable and casts great (if you are used to double-taper lines). One of my biggest concerns about fly lines is line memory - whether or not they coil on the water from being wound tight on the reel. This line has very little memory, even in cold weather. It does tend to tangle on itself when stripping, but I've never used a 2-wt line that didn't. They are just too thin and supple. Overall a great line by a reliable company. It's a "classic" for a reason.
