Centerpin Angling Stealth Floating Main Line is here at The Hairy Trout!
Years of field testing and development have gone into creating some of the best floating line on the market—a premium centerpin line built for serious float fishing.
Extremely low memory, soft and supple handling, high knot strength, low stretch, incredible water repellency and excellent abrasion resistance. The full-floating design helps deliver natural drifts, quick hook sets and smooth, long casts.
Made in Japan.
Now in stock at The Hairy Trout.

As many of you know, we’re sad to see Bianca Bianca ledee move on to a new career. We can’t thank her enough for all the hard work, dedication, and everything she did to help get The Hairy Trout’s new location up and running. We wish her nothing but the best in this next chapter!
With this change comes an opportunity for a new barber to join our team! 💈
Please share and help us find the next great fit for The Hairy Trout!
