Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Hover

The Scientific Anglers Sonar Stillwater Hover is the fruit of an age-old ambition to create a line that would defy the conventions of freshwater fly fishing. Designed to flirt with the surface without ever fully sinking into it, the Stillwater Hover represents a remarkable innovation in the world of lake fishing. With its extremely slow sink rate, this line positions itself just below the surface, offering a slow, methodical streamer presentation ideal for seducing even the most wary fish. Developed specifically to meet the demands of stillwater fishing, it features the MPX taper profile, renowned for its ability to facilitate the casting of multiple flies and long leaders. This line is overloaded with a full line weight, reinforcing its versatility and ability to present flies effectively, even in the most delicate conditions. Its most distinctive feature is its extra-slow sink rate of one inch per second (ips), which allows the line to "float" just below the water film. This property makes it a preferred tool for fishing the upper layers, where fish often come to forage without reaching the surface. The Sonar Stillwater Hover is marked SA STILLWATER HOVER WF X H (where X represents the weight of the line), enabling anglers to choose the right weight for their rod and fishing style. For lake fishing enthusiasts looking to exploit the layer of water just below the surface with maximum precision and discretion, the Stillwater Hover is a legend incarnate, capable of transforming a day's fishing into an unforgettable experience.
