Scientific Anglers Magnitude Smooth Bonefish Plus 10' Clear Tip 9 wt - Saltwater Fly Line

Overview

Scientific Anglers Magnitude Smooth Bonefish Plus 10' Clear Tip 9 wt is built for saltwater flats where visibility and performance matter. This line belongs to the Magnitude family, combining a clear, low-glare presence with durability capable of withstanding salt spray and rough-water sessions. It invites a smooth feel on the water and confident line management from first cast to the last drift.

Rooted in a Grand Slam taper, the line features an extended head length and a lighter, half-heavy weight, while preserving a short front taper. The result is a balance between long-lead casting and accurate turnover, helping anglers present tied leaders with ease across varying water conditions.

Key technologies and benefits

• DuraCoat leverages a dual-polymer design to optimize line stiffness, abrasion resistance, and slickness. The core is wrapped by a supple layer to minimize memory and promote strong adhesion, while the outer coating contributes rugged durability and an exceptionally smooth glide through guides.
• Clear floating options include a 10' clear floating tip to help you track the fly and a full clear floating line for stealthy, water-mimicking presentations.
• EST+ slickness additive enhances durability, supports smoother shooting, and aligns with eco-friendly performance goals for saltwater use.

Why bonefish anglers choose Magnitude on the flats

• Clear lines reduce glare and line splash, aiding a natural presentation to wary bonefish.
• The extended head length paired with a short front taper enables long-lead casts with accuracy and controlled turnover even when wind shifts.
• Saltwater-grade construction resists abrasion and wear from salt spray, keeping performance consistent day after day.

Real-world use scenarios

On glassy mornings, you can deliver a stealthy cast with the full clear line and then track the fly with the 10' tip as you drift over a shallow sand flat. In estuary channels, the line’s slickness helps you deliver a smooth, gradual presentation to cruising fish. The setup is designed to feel natural in your hands, encouraging a relaxed, rhythmic casting cadence after hours on the water.

With its saltwater-focused design, Magnitude Smooth Bonefish Plus supports long casts and precise presentations while maintaining a responsive feel through the guides. The benefits described reflect the features and capabilities of the line and are framed as possibilities rather than guarantees.
