Complete 5wt Fly Line Selection for Every Fishing Situation
5 weight fly lines handle 85% of freshwater fishing situations including spring creeks, beaver ponds, tailwater rivers, and mountain streams. These lines cast small dry flies accurately on delicate presentations and turn over larger streamers effectively for bass and trout.
Our 5wt fly line collection includes 3 sink rates: floating, hover, and intermediate sinking to match every water condition. Each line features weight forward taper that loads rods quickly and delivers accurate casts up to 50 feet. The coating provides excellent flotation on floating lines while maintaining durability through hundreds of fishing days.
Passed down from generation to generation, fly fishing creates lasting memories on the water. Our 5 weight fly lines help you pass down proven techniques to the next angler in your family, whether you're teaching casting basics or sharing advanced line control methods.
