Hydros Clear Sink Tip Line

Add 10' to your leader. This completely clear 10' intermediate sinking tip fly line will help solve many fresh and saltwater challenges. The slow-sinking tip helps get the fly down just below the surface for a stealthy presentation. Designed for variety of temperature and weather conditions. Floating head and rear taper allow line management and mending.

Passed first test,

"6wt Hydros clear sink tip passed a first test, streamering for river smallmouth in high summer. Cast well and handled well with water and air temperatures in 70s-80sF. The real test will come in late fall and spring, swinging flies and streamering for Great Lakes steelhead and resident trout with temperatures in 30s-50s. If the line remains supple, it will pass."

Hmmmm!,

"I was quite excited at the thought of putting my new line on my brand new super fine rod and reel. The excitement soon turned to panic then sheer disappointment. Why? Well first of all I want to congratulate Orvis on the Eco packaging idea, I am all for the idea but I fear it cost me the £££'s I spent on the line. I started to load the line onto the reel when with out warning the packaging cardboard the line was wound onto popped open and resulted in the biggest birds nest ever! There was so many knots in the line that it took me an age to untangle, I have been left with 3 serious kinks in the line and had to render it unusable :(
As I say I agree with Eco friendly packaging but it has to be fit for its intended purpose. Also noticed the clear tip of the line had black flecks running through it and was wondering if that's normal for a clear tip? First time I've seen the flecks on any clear tip.
