由 Charlie Walker The Tiemco Purple Votec 10150MF Cond/A is a high-performance fly fishing line designed for precision and durability. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and specifications:
Key Features:
1. Color: Purple (distinctive for visibility on the water).
2. Line Weight: Designed for a 10-weight (10WT) fly rod.
3. Length: Standard 105 feet (32 meters).
4. Core Material: Multifilament (MF) core for strength and smooth casting.
5. Coating: Advanced Cond/A (Conditioned A) treatment for reduced memory, improved slickness, and longevity.
6. Taper Design: Optimized for distance casting and turnover of large flies (e.g., saltwater, bass, or pike flies).
