由 James Boren The Cortland 444 Steady Sink ST7S is a specialized sinking fly line designed for precise depth control and consistent sink rates. Here are the key details:
Specifications:
– Model: 444 Steady Sink ST7S (Sink Type 7/Super Fast Sink)
– Sink Rate: 3.5 to 4.0 inches per second (IPS)
– Length: 40 feet (typical for sinking heads; full lines may be 90+ ft)
– Core: High-density sinking core for rapid descent
– Coating: Smooth, abrasion-resistant coating for durability
– Weight: Matches standard fly line weights (e.g., 5wt, 6wt, etc.)—check specific line size.
Key Features:
1. Fast Sinking: Ideal for deep-water fishing (e.g., lakes, stripers, salmon, or saltwater).
2. Short Head (40 ft): Enhances turnover for streamers/sink-tip applications.
3. Consistent Sink Rate: No taper, ensuring uniform depth control.
4. Compatibility: Works with intermediate/floating running lines for versatility.
Best Uses:
– Streamer fishing for trout/bass in deep pools.
– Saltwater species (striped bass, permit, etc.).
– Swinging flies in strong currents.
Tips:
– Pair with a fast-action rod for optimal casting.
– Use a loop-to-loop connection for easy head changes.
– Adjust retrieve speed based on depth/target species.
