Sunline shooter for the tough stuff

When it comes to fishing line, the right choice can make all the difference in performance and your ability to put fish in the boat. Enter Sunline Shooter Fluorocarbon Line—a premium fluorocarbon, is the preferred line for pitching and flipping by our Sunline pros.

One of the standout features of the Sunline Shooter Fluorocarbon is its incredibly low stretch. Fluorocarbon lines are known for their low stretch compared to monofilament, which is why they are often the go-to choice for techniques like pitching and flipping.

The low stretch of Shooter provides unmatched sensitivity, allowing you to feel the lightest bites and get great hook penetration. Another attribute that makes Shooter the preferred line for pitching and flipping is that it is built to withstand tough conditions, making it an excellent choice for heavy cover.
