Specific in nature, the Scientific Anglers Mastery Bass Bug is designed to throw big bugs while maintaining stability of warm water and warm air temps. It's taper is pretty aggressive. It's also weighted to match well to modern fast action rods like the G. Loomis IMX PRO 1 Streamer stick.
I got an opportunity to fish this line on a small bass stream that "may be" located in Michigan during the dwag days of August. Water is clear and fish are skittish. Success come from moderately long cast placed well ahead of the drift boat.
The Braided Multi-filament Core maintained great contact with the fly and never showed any signs of springy coil memory often associated with lines made for hot climates. The coating maintained it's slickness even in the heat of the day and stayed fluid into the dark while blind casting into the "silver" water.
While the head of this line is set at 43' the the bulk of the weight is set forward allowing for the line to load your rod at much shorter distance. The rear part of the head allows for flexible handling. The angler need not concern himself whether he has 20' of line out or over 40' of line out, the line will pick up and cast with total angler control
Bass Bug was clearly developed by anglers who embrace the warm water, thrive in the humid clime and stay up late for the hexagenia.
