The 444 tropic plus ghost tip has been my line of choice in Florida when fishing in 5 to 10' of clear water. It's a great small tarpon line, and gives the advantage of an additional 9' of clear tip; with this characteristic, the angler has the advantage of extra clear tip attached to the leader system when fishing IGFA regulations.
The anatomy of the 444 tropic plus ghost tip gives the advantage of quick line pick up and delivery comparable to a full intermediate line but with a floating body and running line section.
The surface coating on the fly line is designed for warm water use and the mono core material has little to no memory. The color of the line is pale yellow, which over time and use will get even lighter.
