Vision Merisuola Fly Line - When Vision started the Project Merisuola (Sea salt), the idea was to provide premium tools for devoted saltwater fly fishermen. In the first phase Vision introduced Merisuola fly rods and fly lines, which were designed simultaneously to complete each other. The harsh saltwater environment and big, strong and fast fish is a combination, which sets some hard limits especially for fly lines. For that reason, Vision spent numerous hours testing and re-designing our Merisuola fly lines before they were confident that the lines were ready for the challenge.

OPST Commando Tip 10 ft - OPST now offers 10 foot long Commando Tips, completing your Pure Skagit system from hook to reel. Presenting your fly at the depth where fish are holding is one of the most important factors in successful fishing. Commando Tips are ideal for making swung fly presentations to steelhead and salmon. It's a fact that not every run calls for the fastest, heaviest sink tip. Riffles and shallower runs can be just as important as deep holes, especially in high water. In such conditions, a shallower, yet still level, sink is the way to go.

Vision Attack - One of Vision's classics was totally re-done. A line originally made to be clearly visible, slick and high floating and dressed with good turnover ability to serve both beginners and advanced fishermen. The result was that Vision's pros nearly ripped these lines out of our hands just to cover all situations with different methods of attack. That is why Vision calls this line a real everyday all rounder. The family includes additional intermediate and sink3 fly lines.
