Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth Anadro Nymph Fly Line For Precision Nymphing On Big Rivers

The S.A. Amplitude Smooth Anadro Nymph is the pinnacle of precision nymphing lines, built for victory on big rivers and in still-water ambush spots. This is the line scientists and anglers turn to when distances, delicate presentations, and rock-solid turnover matter most.

Why it stands out. The Amplitude Smooth series redefines “shootability” with the AST Plus slickness additive, delivering superior shooting with dramatically increased durability. That means longer casts with less drag, more control on mend, and better turnover when you need it most—even in demanding, fast-water situations.

Key features that translate to real-world results

• Extended rear taper for line control: Cast a mile, mend with authority, and turn over nearly any rig—perfect for dredging double nymphs or heavy dry-dropper setups.
• Overweighted by 1.5 sizes to fling heavy rigs with confidence: use the designated line weight for your rod, or opt for one size heavier on switch rods for extra turnover power.
• Ideal for indicator nymphing and rig versatility: An unbelievable indicator line for trout and bass, and superb for swinging flies when chasing steelhead and salmon—great for double-nymph rigs or hopper-droppers.
• Durable, responsive core: Braided multifilament core delivers sensitivity where it counts and stands up to tough days on the water.
• Cold- and moderate-climate friendly: Designed to perform in cooler conditions where finesse and control matter most.
• Proven Amplitude Smooth performance: Part of the Amplitude line family, delivering up to five times less drag and eight times the durability of traditional lines for a noticeably smoother, more confident cast.
