The Modern Trout was designed for complete trout versatility, and then some. The short front taper will turn over nymph rigs, streamers and dry flies, while the extended back taper increases line control and makes for quick line pick up. Also very suited for panfish and light duty bass fishing. Just a great all-around fly line really!

    Douglas (verified owner) –

    Have the 3 weight on a TFO Blue Ribbon. Great combo. Can throw up to a Smoke Wagon on the setup. Very good for a wide range of uses!

    Update Feb 2025:
    Also have this on a 6 weight Echo Carbon XL. Throws smaller sized deer hair bass flies well, can also throw hopper/dropper combos and nymph rigs well!

    Both lines i replaced the loop with Maxima Clear as per instructions from the teams YouTube page. Definitely improves the action!
