SCIENTIFIC ANGLERS AMPLITUDE SMOOTH ANADRO FLY LINE
If you’re anything like us, the allure of big fish and big rivers is intoxicating. That’s precisely why Scientific Anglers created the Amplitude Smooth Anadro/Nymph. Designed with line control in mind, its extended rear taper allows you to cast a mile, mend with authority, and turn over nearly any rig imaginable—from dredging double nymphs to larger dry-dropper concoctions. Steelhead, salmon, and trout won’t know what hit them. The Amplitude Smooth series of lines are, simply put, the highest-performance smooth fly lines in the world. With up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines, this will change the way you look at fly line performance.
FEATURES
- Features the revolutionary AST Plus slickness additive for superior shooting ability and increased durability
- Long rear taper for extended line control and long-distance casting; the best nymphing taper we offer
- An unbelievable indicator line for nymphing up trout and bass or swinging flies for steelhead and salmon; excellent for double-nymph rigs or hopper-droppers
- Overweighted by 1.5 sizes to assist in turning over heavy rigs; use designated line weight for your rod
- Use one size heavy for switch rods
- For use in moderate and cold climates
- Braided multifilament core

For me, SA Anadro is an all around freshwater line rather than only for heavy flies & rigs. I find it handles unweighted soft hackles & dry flies with ease, delicacy, and control from 20-70+’. Roll casts & mends beautifully. If it seems heavy, go down a line size. I prefer it to SA Infinity or Trout & find it turns over every leader & fly I put on it really well. If you know how to cast & control the line with hauling, Anadro works really well.

This is an excellent choice for throwing nymph rigs as well as streamers. Easy to shoot line with the extra load provided from being 1.5x weighted, but manages to still mend well.

This line does just what the advertising says.......it helps you cast large, heavy rigs. Roll casts very well, and the long tapered head makes long roll casts and mending easy at distance. Slick coating allows the line to shoot well when overhead casting. The line is heavy (1.5 x line weight) which you can really feel when false casting. This is not necessarily bad as it loads the rod deeper into the blank.

I bought this line for my 8wt rod for throwing big flies and weighted rigs with split shot. I had been using a SA MPX which is great for smaller flies and top water flies, but does not do as well with heavy rigs. This line is great. It roll casts with authority and will turn over impressively heavy rigs. It is 1.5 sizes heavy so It will load your rod quickly and load it down into the butt section with more line out. If you fish heavy and or big flies, this line will make your presentations easier. Also with the long head length it mends really well.

I have the same SA Anadro line but not the amplitude on another of my 9' 8wt setups. Wow does this shoot out faster and cleaner. Both are great lines but this is certainly a cut above. The performance is well worth the cost in my opinion.

I picked up one of these guys in a 5 wt recently. Got to use it this weekend on a big western river using quite heavy weight and a big bobber. The line worked really well. It turned over the rig when I needed, the tip was easy to track, mending was indeed pretty easy, and the tip floated nicely for me. Really well suited to my heavier indicator setup.

Purchased this line for my Winston 10' 5 wt in a 4 wt line on recommendation from Winston. Works great; fantastic combo.

This line is amazing! If you enjoy nymphing or throwing streamers, this is the stuff!

I bought this fly line to use on my TFO Axiom II-X for throwing streamers and large nymph rigs for trout. It's perfect for that. It loads the rod well, has a long head for mending and casts with authority. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic! Super smooth and easy mending. Great advice from you the guys at the shop. They know their stuff!
