Scientific Anglers Amplitude Textured Tarpon

R 2,580.00 ZAR
Line Weight

Description

Scientific Anglers Amplitude Textured Tarpon is a tropical floating line built for fast accurate shots at laid-up or moving fish. The short compact head loads quickly for mid-range presentations and lands softly for wary fish. The textured coating reduces friction for improved line speed and flotation while the high-contrast sighter helps track the line during long runs.

Technologies

  • AST+ – Advanced slickness coating that reduces friction improves shootability and maintains slick performance far longer.
  • Floating Texture – Diamond-shaped embossed pattern that increases flotation and enhances line ride for superior performance.
  • Shooting Texture – Rounded embossed pattern that reduces friction boosts durability and improves shooting distance.
  • Welded Loops – Durable welded loops on both the front and back of the line for easy reliable loop-to-loop connections to backing and leaders.
  • SA-ID – Printed line identification system showing taper weight and density for quick recognition.
  • TRP – Textured tactile band on the line that marks key positions for repeatable casting accuracy.
  • Tropi-Core – Extra-rigid tropical monofilament core designed to resist heat maintain stiffness and deliver powerful turnover in hot climates.

Amplitude Textured Line Features

Scientific Anglers took their revolutionary AST Plus slickness additive and put it into the Amplitude Textured Series. Each line is built with three textures for a reduction in friction, three colours to identify the separate parts of the line, and welded loops for quick and easy rigging.
