The Scientific Anglers Mastery Bass Bug taper fly line was developed specifically for largemouth and smallmouth bass.
You’ve got articulated streamers and poppers hanging from the lampshade on your desk. You think in terms of bass, both smallmouth and largemouth. The term conehead doesn’t refer to an old comedy sketch. SA totally gets it. And that’s why they designed the Mastery Bass Bug. Similar in design to their Mastery Titan Long, but with a specialized warm-weather coating built to withstand hot temperatures. It’s quite possibly the best bass fly line ever constructed. If you have an all-encompassing need to throw big flies for bucketmouths, then look no further. This fly line is made for you.
* Designed specifically for throwing large, air-resistant dry flies and streamers for bass in rivers, lakes, and ponds
