Scientific Anglers Sonar Saltwater Intermediate

Scientific Anglers Sonar Saltwater Intermediate is a half-size heavy tropical sinking line built for saltwater use where subsurface presentations are needed. Its intermediate clear head sits just below the surface so waves roll over it in shore breaks while the line stays close to where it lands. The short head loads rods quickly for accurate casts with long leaders and heavier flies.

Technologies

• AST – Slickness additive that reduces friction improves shootability and keeps lines performing longer.
• 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.
• Saltwater ID – Same as SA-ID but for saltwater lines.
• Sonar – Density-tuned sinking technology providing smooth sink profiles and stable depth control during retrieves.
• Tropi-Core – Extra-rigid tropical monofilament core designed to resist heat maintain stiffness and deliver powerful turnover in hot climates.

Temperature Rating

• Hot / Tropical – 20°C to 40°C

Target Species

• GTs (Giant Trevally)
• Tarpon
• Tuna
• Bonefish
• Permit
• Triggerfish

Types of Flies

• Streamers
• Poppers
• Crustaceans
• Crabs

Additional Features

• Intermediate sink rate keeps the line just below surface chop
• Ideal for fishing shore breaks as waves pass over while the line stays in place
• Half-size heavy taper loads rods quickly using designated line weight
• Designed for stealthy subsurface presentations in clear tropical water
• Sink rate approximately 1.25 ips for controlled slow-sinking retrieves
