A TACTICAL FLY LINE
The HEADHUNTER 2 tactical dry fly line was designed completely in-house by our crack team of dry fly snobs. We were searching for a line that would conquer the conditions we face every day on the Missouri River. Long distance presentations are common, as is the need for super-tight accuracy. The strong, ever-present wind requires a powerful turnover, but needs to land like a feather. And after the fly lands, you need to make strong mends and send line into the drift. And you’re commonly making these difficult reach cast presentations while sitting in a boat. What we came up with is a unique taper that excels at downstream presentations in all big “spring creek” scenarios. After we were satisfied with the taper, we added some visual markers to let the angler know where the line performs best. We continue to make improvements, and it continues to draw rave reviews from anglers.
