Weight Forward – Floating Line
Taper
This taper has been designed specifically for the Permit enthusiast, offering all the needs of a perfect line for targeting one of the spookiest species on the planet. By using a very gradual front head design that steps up into a long 20ft belly section, this allows the angler to make long casts with extreme accuracy and provide the most delicate of presentations. While the thicker belly will help turn your line over in the wind and cast those heavier crab patterns with ease.
Core
This new Phantom Tip series uses Monic’s new semi-stiff low-stretch saltwater core. The minimal stretch allows for excellent sensitivity and powerful hook-sets while still allowing to anneal/straighten the line easily with a simple hand stretch. This added stiffness will also help retain the character of the line in extreme heat.
Coating
The Phantom Tip series coating provides the angler with the ultimate stealth presentation fly line. The Phantom Tip version provides the best of both worlds, with a 15 foot clear stealth tip, while the remainder of the line is a bright green color making it easier to track the line in the air and on top of the water to give the angler a reference point for their fly. Most fish species, due to how their bodies are constructed as well as their feeding patterns, generally focus their eyes forward and up toward the surface of the water. This is why many fish can spook or become hesitant to feed if they can see thick bright fly lines casting overhead or lying across the top of the water. With the Phantom Tip this is not an issue! This naturally buoyant coating has been expertly formulated for outstanding clarity while minimizing shine from sunlight to create a fly line that is nearly invisible on the waters surface. Its extremely smooth texture-free surface produces very little friction between the line and rod guides allowing you to shoot line with ease whether its cold or warm. The toughness of the Phantom Tip coating produces a more durable, longer lasting fly line compared to most conventional PVC constructed fly lines. Its high abrasion resistance helps these lines hold up in some of the most brutal fishing conditions where rough coral, sharp rocks, and heavy surf can break down other lines in just a few outings. This allows the Phantom Tips to be taken from freshwater to the grueling salt without having to worry about cracks, dry rot, and delamination.
Line Weights
Phantom Tip – Permit lines are weighted on the heavy side of the true AFFTA standards. You can see the weight ranges in the chart pictured here (weights are measured from the first 30 ft of the head). All of our lines manufactured here at Monic are constructed at or just above the AFFTA standards. Many fly lines in today’s market are vastly over-weighted, sometimes up to 3 sizes. At Monic, we understand that not every angler is using a fast action rod or wants an ultra-heavy fly line forced into their hands. That is why we want to leave the decision up to you. After all, nobody knows your rod and fishing style better than you do.

Umpqua Egans Euro Leader 14ft
€15.99Select optionsUmpqua Egans Euro Leader 14ft
SKU: NFD9394Whether you are a complete novice, a championship-level competitor, or you just want a do-it-all leader for any Euro-Nymphing scenario, there is a hand-tied setup in this new lineup for you.
Utilizing a color-coded, highly visible butt section material and a brand-new proprietary sighter tippet material developed in conjunction with Mr. Lance Egan himself, these leaders take the same formulas he uses when competing, fishing, or guiding, and places that technology directly in your hands.
The Heavy leader contains a thicker hot orange butt section and was designed to give beginners an entry-point to European nymphing techniques that is easier to cast and learn with, but still possesses all the elements needed to effectively help you maximize your catch rate. It also doubles as a great option to cut through heavy wind and float on the water’s surface when conditions are less than ideal.
The Medium leader takes a mid-weight hot pink butt section and places it in an all-around leader perfect for intermediate Euro-Nymphing anglers or for anyone looking for a leader that can do it all. It perfectly walks the line between ease of use in any conditions and delicate, technical presentations with light flies.
The Micro leader was built for the expert-level Euro-Nymph angler and is approved by competitors at the highest level. The ultra-thin fluorescent green butt section will help you eliminate any and all sag within your leader to keep your rod connected to even the lightest flies and ensure you can detect any and all strikes, no matter what the water you are fishing demands.
If you are competing amongst the world’s best anglers, or you’re just looking to dive into this world for the first time, Umpqua has a Euro-Nymphing leader that will help ensure you are up to the task.
Length: 14ft
Diameter: 0X, 2X and 4X (Heavy, Medium and Micro)
