Legendary performance in a mint-green line

For more than 30 years, Cortland’s 444 SL has been a trusted choice for fly anglers who value versatility and consistency. The iconic mint-green color stays highly visible against water and sky, helping you track the line as it loads your rod and delivers your fly. This 105-foot, weight-forward line is available in WF3F through WF9F, a range designed to suit a variety of rod actions while keeping the line configuration simple with a single weight-forward profile.

What makes this line stand out

In practical terms, the 444 SL is designed to feel forgiving in the hand and predictable on the water. Anglers often notice how the line loads crisply on mid-to-long casts, while the color helps with precise line management in a variety of light conditions. The lineup’s breadth—from WF3F to WF9F—allows you to pair it with different rod lengths and power ranges, giving you flexibility across rivers, streams, and lakes.

Real-world use and scenarios
