11. Introducción
Uno de los problemas más frecuentes con las que se encuentra un mosquero
además de elegir líneas, es poder identificarlas. La variedad y cantidad existente en
el mercado es abrumadora. No sólo eso, a veces hasta es dificultoso recordar cuáles
son los tipos y características de las colas de ratón con las que ya contamos!. La
mayoría de marcas vienen provistas con las especificaciones en un autoadhesivo
para pegar al carrete con el fin de identificarlas o los ordenados utilizamos un
marcador indeleble para el mismo fin.
Pero aun así… No pocas veces el autoadhesivo se pierde, el marcador se borra, un
amigo nos muestra una línea sin caja, y allí sí nos encontramos en problemas.
Ese es el objetivo de este documento, una guía visual para identificar las líneas por
sus cajas, colores, e incluso con algunas especificaciones. No pretende ser ni
exhaustiva, ni total; es más, probablemente caiga en desuso pues las empresas
sacan al mercado nuevos productos frecuentemente, pero para el mosquero novato
le dará una rápida idea de las marcas, colores y tipos de líneas con las que
contamos en estos momentos.
Espero que puedan aprovecharla

31. 555 ”Dyna-Tip” Mango
555 Floating “Dyna Tip” fly line in Mango - The Dyna Tip is engineered on a braided
nylon core with 555 coatings to create a supple line for cold water conditions plus the
added benefit of a 4’ white high floating tip section. Possibly the best all-around
floating trout, salmon and steelhead fly line available.
555 ”Dyna-Tip” Avacado
555 Floating “Dyna Tip” fly line in Avacado - A new addition to the 555 “Dyna-Tip”
family in a stealthy color. The new Avacado is much more subtle than the Mango
Dyna-Tip. WIth the same great features of the high floating Dyna-Tip in a sage color
that doubles as a strike indicator. Possibly the best all-around “low visibility” floating
fly line available.
555 ”Dyna-Tip” Convertible
The new 555 double taper Dyna-Tip Convertible fly line...”now you see it, now they
don’t.” A unique twist: purchase one line to handle early season nymphing
conditions with the high visibility mango color, then reverse the line in mid summer to
the neutral green color for low, clear water fishing situations.
555 Floating Line
Sage and Gold Fly Line - high floating warm condition lines that feature Cortland’s
exclusive hollow multi lumen core. Available in Sage for low visibility and Gold for
higher visibility.

distance taper and added durability and slickness are hallmarks of the 555 Series.
555 Floating Green Ghosttip
The success of the 555 Clear Floating line spawned the development of the 555
Floating Green Ghost Tip. The Green Ghost Tip is designed to be visible to the
angler, with a mica-green colored line, but with an integrated 7 foot floating clear tip
section to remain invisible to the fish. Designed for warmer conditions, due to the
hollow monofilament core, and will perfom best if stretched prior to use.
555 Tropic Plus Flats Line
Shallow saltwater conditions require a fly line that picks up instantly and effortlessly.
The 555 Flats Line has become the line of choice among professional guides in the
Florida Keys and backcountry for shallow water fly fishing. The Flats Line is designed
for longer casts and is coated to stand up to blazing heat.
555 Tropic Plus Ghosttip
Similar in performance to the Flats Line, the Tropic Plus Ghost Tip has the added
benefit of a clear floating tip section (5 ft.) and a beefed up running line to help
prevent tangling - the number one reason for missed opportunities on the flats.
555 Little Tunny - ACI
555 ACI (All Conditions Intermediate) Clear Camo Intermediate Fly Line - the most
widely used all purpose intermediate fly line on the market today for cold, warm and
tropical species.

medium to smaller flies when flats fishing in clear water. The new Rocket2 taper
design allow for accuracy when making short and long casts.

need a line to stay debris free and just below the surface of the water. Rocket2 taper
