Monic fly lines - 01/25/20 02:32 PM
Interesting fly line. I bought a couple of spools of the Henley Phantom tip floating line. It’s all clear, but the bulk of the line is tinted green except the tip. The tip section, 15’ I think it is, is clear.
Some have reported that it’s prone to tangles, but I haven’t noticed this. It’s fishing and handling well in 60 degree water and air temperatures.
It’s hard to spot on the water, which I guess is the point of the line. I’m getting used to that characteristic. Casts well, like a line that is a bit heavy, but also good for fishing at a little more distance.
It’s not as slippery feeling as some of my other lines. This I like as it’s easier to strip set with a less slippery line.
Monic says they will give off 25% of retail price if you send in an old fly line for recycling.
I’m not a rep or have anything to do with Monic, just thought some might want to take a look at something different in the fly line world.
