RIO Striped Bass AquaLux
If you fish for stripers at night—and you should—RIO’s Striped Bass AquaLux ($69.95)
is a real advantage. This intermediate-density line is built on a single-strand Powerflex core
with bullet-proof welded loops at both ends, and sinks at 1.5 to 2 i.p.s. Sounds like a straightforward
clear intermediate, right? Not hardly. The Striped Bass AquaLux has an aggressive,
compound-taper head closely based on RIO’s popular Clouser Line, with a 3.5-foot front
taper, 9.5-foot body, stepped-down 21-foot belly, and a 6-foot back taper that transitions into
59.5 feet of running line. The entire 40.5-foot head gets a clear AquaLux coating, while the
running line is luminescent green and can be charged with a flashlight to glow in the dark,
showing the angler when the head is outside the rod tip for maximum casting performance.

Monic GSP Striper/Tuna Intermediate
A great line for reaching out to busting schools of stripers, false albacore, and bonita that
will bolt if you crowd them with a boat, Monic’s GSP Striper/Tuna Intermediate fetaures an
aggressive, weight-forward taper (7-foot front taper, 17-foot body, and 15-foot back taper)
that loads fast-action rods quickly and delivers big flies with dispatch. Its ultra-low stretch
GSP (gel spun polyethylene) core transmits more casting energy through the line, and
permits reliable hook sets with the entire 100-foot line in the water. GSP is also uniquely
sensitive, telegraphing half-hearted takes at long range or from deep depths. The light blue
outer coating is a polyethylene copolymer, which is more resistant to UV degradation than
PVC and remains supple in the coldest air or water. Available in line weights 9 through
11, GSP Striper/Tuna Intermediates sell for $54.95. Contact Flow Tek, Inc., Dept. FFA;
