Scierra Provider Long Belly Fly Line WF4F.
These Long Belly lines are designed solely for aesthetic reasons. For true fly line nerds, there is nothing more beautiful than a narrow looped fly cast that for a frozen moment seems drawn by God’s own hand. Fortunately, the same traits ensuring long flights and breath taking turnovers will also help you present flies to fish that normally would be way outside your range and secure amazingly controlled and precise presentations to fish a little closer than that. The heads are long enough to extend you normal range, but short enough to include most fly fishers over their first fumbling casting stages. Welcome to the undivided joy of casting an outstanding fly line.

A considerable amount of fly fishers will start sweating when lines like these are mentioned, but I will like to state that a well-designed Long Belly line could elevate many of these to new dimensions of fly fishing excellence. The threshold between an average WF and a moderate LB is smaller than you might think and the rewards, under the right conditions, could be amazing. A head that is 3-4 meters longer than the average WF line enables you to hold more line in the air without this involving too much overhang and will result in more controlled presentations, enabling you to reach fish lying further out in the river. In spite of being a pure blooded fly casting nerd, I have still grasped the fact that it’s more important to execute controlled distance casts than to always try for the fish rising just outside your limit of control. The last category of casts has a mean tendency to involve presentations scaring the living daylight out of neurotic trophy trout in continuous states of alarm. Our new Long Belly “babies” are (in all modesty) fantastic. Three lines, # 4, 5 and 6, beautifully balanced heads measuring 14 meters and total line lengths of 30 meters. The rear tapers are long enough to enable you to hold parts of the head inside the tip guide without feeling like you’re compensating. In addition (it’s impossible for me to avoid mentioning it), the “Provider” lines have unique potentials for helping you with the mind-blowingly long casts and for pushing your limits of distance further out. I agree that fresh beginners should start with shorter-headed lines, but when you feel that controlling an average WF line isn’t all that difficult, you should test our “Provider” and take your single hand fly casting to a new level.
