The Scientific Anglers Absolute Flat Mono Shooting Line is a high-performance monofilament running line designed for Spey, Skagit, and Scandi fly fishing applications. Featuring a unique flat, rectangular profile, this premium shooting line reduces line twist, improves grip, and delivers smooth, low-memory performance for long, efficient casts.
Unlike traditional round monofilament running lines, Scientific Anglers Absolute Flat Mono features a rectangular cross-section that provides better handling and control while maintaining excellent shooting performance. Its size-specific hardness is engineered to minimize coiling and memory in a wide range of fishing conditions, making it an excellent choice for both single-hand and two-handed Spey casting systems.
Available in four breaking strengths from 25 lb to 50 lb, each with a highly visible color, Absolute Flat Mono allows anglers to match their running line to their shooting head grain weight and preferred fishing setup.
