Details

The 444 Series Modern Trout was engineered for complete trout versatility. Designed to handle the demands of the modern angler, it features a short, aggressive front taper that easily turns over nymph rigs, streamers, and dry flies. The stealthy Moss Green color is perfect for spooky fish in clear water, while the extended back taper provides elite line control for long-distance mending and quick pick-ups.

Built a half-line size heavy, the Modern Trout is the perfect match for today's fast-action graphite rods. This extra weight helps load the rod quickly, making it easier to cast in tight quarters or windy conditions. Whether you're headhunting on a spring creek or chucking streamers on a big river, this high-floating line provides the all-purpose performance you need.

Extended Back Taper: Enhances line carry and mending capabilities for better drift control.

Pro-Tip: Because this line is a half-size heavy, it's the "cheat code" for rods like the St. Croix Imperial or Orvis Clearwater. It makes them feel more responsive and helps you feel the rod load, even with just a little bit of line out.
