Success defined by the finer details

Success in the salt comes down to the finer details.  Having the right terminal tackle can truly be the difference between success and failure.  You can count on Scientific Anglers Absolute Saltwater Fluorocarbon when the shot of a lifetime materializes.  It has excellent knot strength, abrasion resistance and is stiff enough to turn your fly over in the wind.
