Scientific Anglers Frequency Saltwater is a floating fly line for cool to temperate saltwater. Its head is half a line size heavy to load the rod quickly and turn over a bulky streamer or popper when the wind picks up. The 7- through 10-weight lines all measure 90ft, but the 10-weight has a shorter head.
When a breeze blows across a flat, a wind-resistant fly can stop the leader from straightening. The extra mass in the Frequency Saltwater taper helps carry the fly through the wind. The line floats, so it will fish a popper on top or a streamer just under the surface without pulling the fly down.
Match the line number to the rating on the rod; the extra half size is already built in. Each of these four lines has a braided multifilament core. Compare the head lengths below: the grain figures are the weights of the first 30ft, not of the entire head.
| Line size | Head length | First 30ft |
|---|---|---|
| WF-7-F | 40ft | 200gr |
| WF-8-F | 40ft | 225gr |
| WF-9-F | 40ft | 260gr |
| WF-10-F | 35ft | 305gr |
