Cortland 333 Classic Full Sinking Fly Line – Type 3 Sinking, 90' | Freshwater & Saltwater

Overview

The Cortland 333 Classic Full Sinking line is a Type 3 sinking fly line designed for deep-water fishing in both freshwater and saltwater. With a sinking rate of about 3.5 to 4 inches per second, it helps keep your fly in the feeding zone at depth, reducing the need for constant readjustment and enabling steady, controlled presentations.

Depth and versatility for a range of conditions

This 90-foot line is optimized for fishing in deep lakes and faster rivers where water moves and depth can vary quickly. The steady sink and predictable tracking support precise presentations to fish at moderate depths, whether you’re casting to mid-column targets or maintaining a steady drift along a current seam.

In addition to pinpoint depth control, the Full Sinking profile works well for trolling scenarios. The consistent drop helps maintain a natural drift as you move across water, increasing the chances of your fly reaching suspended or cruising fish without abrupt changes in depth.
