The Scientific Anglers Frequency Intermediate Fly Line in the new Kelly Green color (2025 release) is part of SA’s popular Frequency series, known for offering high-performance fly lines at a more accessible price point. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
1. Intermediate Sink Rate
– Sinks slowly (≈ 1.5–2 inches per second), making it ideal for fishing just below the surface or in shallow water.
– Great for streamers, nymphs, or stillwater applications where a neutral presentation is needed.
2. New Kelly Green Color (2025 Update)
– A fresh, high-visibility hue for better tracking in various water conditions.
– Helps anglers detect subtle strikes and control line movement.
3. AST™ (Advanced Shooting Technology)
– Smooth, low-memory coating for effortless casting and reduced coiling.
– Optimized for distance and accuracy.
4. Durable, Braided Multifilament Core
– Provides strength and flexibility while maintaining sensitivity.
5. Universal Taper Design
– Balanced for versatility across freshwater and light saltwater use.
– Works well with 4–9 weight rods (check specific line weight for compatibility).
Best Uses:
– Stillwater trout (leeches, nymphs, small streamers)
– Bass & pike fishing (sinking just below weed lines)
– Saltwater flats (bonefish, redfish in shallow water)
– European nymphing (when a slight sink is beneficial)
Why Choose the Frequency Series?
– More affordable than SA’s premium lines (like MPX or Amplitude) but still high-performing.
– Great for anglers who want a reliable, no-frills intermediate line.
Availability:
– Expected release in 2025 (check SA’s website or retailers for exact dates).
– Sizes: Likely WF (Weight Forward) in various line weights (e.g., WF5I, WF6I, etc.).
