– Smooth Infinity Coating: A slick, durable coating that enhances shootability and reduces friction.
– AST (Advanced Shooting Technology): Optimized taper for effortless distance casting.
2. Color:
– Green & Buckskin (two-tone): Helps with tracking and line control, especially in varied lighting.
3. Taper:
– Weight Forward (WF-4-F): Ideal for quick loading and accurate presentations at short to medium distances.
– Front-loaded taper aids in turning over larger flies or windy conditions.
4. Weight & Size:

5. Durability:
– Resistant to cracks and abrasions, with a hydrophobic coating to repel water and reduce dirt buildup.
Best Use Cases:
– Freshwater fishing (rivers, streams, lakes)
– Dry flies, nymphs, and small streamers
– Anglers who prioritize smooth casting and line control
Pros:
✔ Exceptional shooting ability for distance
✔ Low memory for fewer tangles
