Here’s an idea: instead of spending $200 on a trout line, pick up a Frequency Trout fly line and use the rest on your next drive-all-night road trip.

Features:
- For use in cold to moderate climates
- All-around trout fly line
- Versatile taper excels with most flies and conditions
- Excels in all weather conditions
- Mid-length head
- Formulated with Advanced Shooting Technology

Frequency Boost
Let’s be honest. No one will ever turn down a little extra help with their cast. Luckily, the Frequency Boost, built a half-size heavy, provides just that.

Frequency Magnum
The Frequency Magnum summed up in six words: big flies, big fish, small price. Designed with an aggressive weight-forward head, the Magnum fly line is built for tossing large flies, turning over split shot, and blasting through the wind. In other words, this line is a bit of a bully - which is great if you’re targeting bass, big trout, and light saltwater game. It’s nice to have some muscle on your side.
Features:
- For use in cold to moderate climates
- Turns over large dries, streamers, and split shot with ease
- For use in both fresh- and saltwater environments

Frequency Sink Tip
In moving water, getting flies below the surface while maintaining control can present a challenge. That’s why sink tip fly lines were introduced. We took this idea, put it at an affordable price point, and came up with the Frequency Sink Tip. Featuring a Type III 10' sinking tip, the Frequency Sink Tip is great for streamer fishing from a boat, while wading, or just about anywhere - mall water fountains excluded.
Features:
- For use in cold to moderate climates
- Ideal for streamers and wet flies for trout, steelhead, salmon, and smallmouth bass in moving water
- Fast-sinking 10’ tip sinks flies through the water column
- Mid-length head enhances control
- Best used in moving water
- Sink Rates: 2.5 – 4.0 ips (Type III)
- Braided multifilament core
Colour: Optic Yellow/Green

Frequency Intermediate
There are times where you need to get your fly underwater, but not too far under the surface. That’s when you need the Frequency Intermediate fly line. Built with a slow sink rate, the Frequency Intermediate will pull streamers and wet flies under surface chop to get them where the fish are. Perfect for stillwater situations, and good for chucking streamers in rivers as well, at this price, it would be silly not to get one.
Features:
- For use in cold to moderate climates
- Especially effective for fishing streamers
- Thin diameter cuts through wind
- Ideal for use in stillwater situations
- Mid-length head for enhanced line control
- Sink Rate: 1.25 ips (Intermediate)
- Braided multifilament core

Frequency Full Sink
If there’s a better way to fish lakes and ponds than with a full-sinking line, we haven’t found it. The Frequency Full Sink is the perfect sinking fly line for stillwater anglers; it handles streamers and wet flies with aplomb, cuts through the wind, and features a mid-length head for great line control. We built the Frequency Full Sink with two sink rates and the idea that great subsurface lines don’t have to cost a fortune.
Features:
- For use in cold to moderate climates
- Especially effective for fishing streamers
- Thin diameter cuts through wind
- Ideal for use in stillwater situations
- Front welded loop on Sink 3; Sink 6 includes braided loop connection

- Sink 3: 2.5–4 inches per second
- Sink 6: 5–6 inches per second
