Good, honest fly lines from the worlds best fly line manufacturer.

One of the most common questions we get asked is "What fly line should I match to my Epic fly rod?" - Well, now you know, it's this one.

Our Glassline fly lines are made by the worlds most experienced fly line manufacturer - Scientific Anglers.

The tapers have been developed exclusively for us, but are based upon proven design principles time tested on rivers and lakes worldwide.

True to Weight
Each line complies with the American Fly Fishing Trade Association industry standard for its class. These are 'true and correct' fly lines - you get exactly what's written on the tin.

Glassline Weight Forward
Our weight forward lines are designed to turn over larger dry flies, weighted nymphs and streamers. The front taper is slightly more aggressive than our double taper lines. The exact profile of each of WF taper varies according to weight designation, with our six weight line having the most aggressive taper to help turnover big bushy flies and terrestrials.

We reckon these lines are a perfect match for all our Epic fly rods be they Glass or Carbon Fibre, but they will also perform just as well on medium action fly rods from just about any manufacturer.

Features: 

  • Printed line designation on the tip of each line for easy identification
  • Scientific Anglers AST (Advanced Shooting Technology) lubrication  
  • Compound front and rear tapers assist turnover and line control
  • Optic Green
  • Length 90ft - floating

Super Impressed!

I just recently received my 8wt fast glass rod and reel combo. The ordering process, shipment communication, build quality, and packaging care have been first class. I can’t wait to get out and try this new rig on the water. Thanks for your commitment to excellence.

A Real Performer

Nice feeling rod took it to NZ in January and it performed really well. When I needed soft presentations it was perfect but still handled everything else. It was great to be able to pack it down and put it in my back pack for those long walk ins.

Chris - Montana

Mind Blown

I am mind blown. Not only is the rod amazing, but after I had an issue with a damaged section of my brand new rod, I contacted Epic and was treated like a real person who was jist trying to get back on the water. Within jist a few days they responded, resolved and mailed my my replacement parts. That kind of respect and customer service is second to none and I will gladly purchase from them again.
