Special Delivery | 100lbs Loops Instruction
A key phrase from Scientific Anglers these days is Failure is not an Option. This refers to being able to rely on the integrity of your terminal gear- line, leader, and tippet to be secure out of the box and not let you down in some manner. There are already enough variables in place that affect hooking and landing fish.
Still, there are times when a little extra work will be needed on the consumer end before taking to the water. This is most evident in the most extreme of fly-fishing activities- the pursuit of the super-powerful predators. Fish like arapaima, giant trevally, and various pelagics such as tuna and billfish require the strongest lines with leader connections to match.
Scientific Anglers Sonar Titan Big Water Taper lines are made to target these fish and are built on a 100 lb. breaking strength core. In order achieve the maximum possible strength in assembling the system- backing to line and line to leader, a pair of 100 lb. loops are included when you purchase the line. These are then added to both ends of the lines and when done correctly, maintain the overall strength of the entire system at nearly 100 lb. strength.
Jeff Pierce, SA’s Foreign Sales Managers shows the correct way to add the 100 lb. loops to the Big Water Taper. With all the time and money invested in a trip chasing these fish, you don’t your terminal connections let you down. As we know, Failure is not an Option.
