The OutBound Short series is engineered for anglers who need to cast large, heavy flies and achieve maximum distance with minimal effort. Featuring a short, aggressive front taper, these lines are designed to carry weighted streamers easily while the powerful head design loads rods deeply and quickly for fast, efficient shooting. Whether you are targeting freshwater monsters or saltwater trophies, this versatile series delivers exceptional performance in demanding conditions.
Every line in this series is built with SlickCast technology, creating the slickest and most durable coating available on the market. This ensures reduced friction through the guides and a longer life for your fly line. To provide total control over the water column, these lines are available in a full range of densities to suit any fishing scenario.
