Cortland 333 Series Double Taper – floating fly line

Floating DT fly line for delicate presentation, roll casting, and precise line control

Cortland 333 Double Taper is a classic floating fly line with a true Double Taper profile, designed for anglers who prefer delicate presentation, strong line feel, and precise control at short to medium distances. DT lines remain a long-time favourite in traditional fly fishing, where accuracy, mending, and calm line management on the surface play an important role.

The line is designed for freshwater, it is floating, and has a total length of 90 ft, which is approximately 27.4 m. It features a braided nylon multifilament core, giving it a supple and pleasant feel in everyday use. The distinctive mango colour also improves line visibility in different light conditions.

According to the manufacturer, the 333 Double Taper is made for anglers who enjoy the feel of a true DT line. Its short front taper makes it suitable for dry flies, nymphs, and smaller streamers, while the Double Taper design excels in roll casting and mending. That is exactly why it is a very good choice for trout and grayling rivers, smaller to medium waters, and any situation where you want finer, more precise control over your fly line.
