The Cortland 333 PRO Species Fly Line Series is a specialized line designed for targeting specific fish species with optimized performance characteristics. Here’s a breakdown to help you pick the right model:
Key Features of the 333 PRO Species Series:
– Species-Specific Tapers: Designed for accuracy and presentation when targeting particular fish.
– Durable Coating: Long-lasting, slick coating for smooth casting and shooting.
– Braided Core: Strength and durability with minimal stretch.
– Weight-Forward (WF) Design: Most models are WF for versatility in casting.
Available Models (Pick Your Species):
1. Trout (WF):
– Designed for delicate presentations with a subtle taper.
– Ideal for dry flies, nymphs, and small streamers.
2. Bass (WF):
– Aggressive taper for turning over larger flies (poppers, streamers).
– Slightly heavier for better control in wind.
3. Pike/Musky (WF):
– Extra-stout taper to handle big, wind-resistant flies.
– High abrasion resistance for toothy predators.
4. Saltwater (WF):
– Corrosion-resistant coating for saltwater use.
– Powerful taper for casting in windy conditions.
5. Carp (WF):
– Stealthy presentation with a delicate yet precise taper.

– Great for bluegill, crappie, and other panfish.
How to Choose:
– Match your target species (e.g., Pike/Musky for big predators, Trout for delicate presentations).
– Consider fly size (Bass/Pike lines handle bulky flies better).
– Environment (Saltwater model for coastal fishing, standard for freshwater).
