The SA Mastery Tarpon Taper has always been our first choice for tarpon fishing. Whether you choose the floating or slow sinking option, this line will cover all tarpon fishing situations. It casts and fishes beatifully and seems impossible to destroy. The Mastery Tarpon Taper has an extremely hard coating, including the patented AST technology, but is surprisingly resistant to memory. The aggressive WF taper presents flies accurately in the wind and the larger diameter running line resists tangling better than previous generations. Attributes:
  • Designed specifically for presenting flies to laid-up or moving tarpon
  • Smooth casting, with a delicate delivery and tangle-free design
  • Stealthy color scheme for wary fish
  • Short head for quick rod loading
  • High-strength core to fight large fish
  • Tropi-Core‚Ñ¢ technology for tropical climates
  • SA ID ‚Äì SA MS TRP WF X F (X = line weight)
  • Color: sand/surf

Fully-featured with a comfortable price tag describes Scientific Anglers Mastery Fly Lines.   These lines can cover most any fly-fishing situation from saltwater flats to steelhead and salmon waters, plus everything in between.  Even a special design for competitive casting comes under this heading.  Mastery Fly Lines offer a number of advanced qualities starting with SA ID for easy line identification.  The AST additive provides slickness and durability, while Welded Loops allow easy change of leaders and attachment of backing.

As with all Scientific Anglers lines, Mastery Fly Line cores and coatings are adjusted for top performance within their stated temperature range.  No more limp spaghetti when it is hot or coiled springs in cold weather.   Special line tapers work to give an angler the best in line turnover and fly presentation, which translates into more fish caught.  Mastery Fly Lines are offered in a full range of sizes from 2-wt. to 12-wt. in a variety of tapers to maximize on-the-water performance and enjoyment.

Euro nymph lines are an important addition to the Mastery Line collection.  New for this year is the Euro Tactical Nymph Braided Core Line.  This line eliminates sag and gives a more direct connection to the fly.  This is available in a level line for tightline nymphing and a unique double taper version to fish dry flies.  It features AST and Welded Loops along with a bright orange front taper to help track flies.  All Mastery Fly Lines combine the best in value and performance across the fly fishing spectrum.
