Ask Curated a question about this product:

The Orvis Hydros Tropic Intermediate Fly Line is is a saltwater line designed to fish warmwater species such as bonefish, small tarpon, and permit. The line keeps flies in the strike zone and below water surface disturbances or debris by slowly sinking at 1.5 inches per second. The line is available in line weights of 6-10.

Key Features

  • AST Slickness - The AST coating on this line not only protects the line but also provides added slickness for smoother, faster, and longer casts.
  • Clear Tip Color - The line has a clear color in the tip to decrease visibility on the water, decreasing the likelihood of spooking fish.
  • Welded Loops - There is a welded loop on each end of the line making it easier and quicker to attach backing and a leader multiple times.
  • Orvis Line ID - The line taper, weight and functionality is printed on the line to allow for quick identification of the line when swapping spools or changing line.

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.

I wanted to purchase gifts for my husband and son as they are slowly getting into fly fishing. Matt was really helpful in taking a look at what they already have and made excellent recommendations on what they need. I cannot wait to look like a superhero and see the joy on my son’s face with a big thanks to Matt!!

Helped me with some valuable fly fishing knowledge that I lack coming from the conventional fishing world. Hooked me up with a good starter rod and even price matched it with another company. Will be coming back for a reel soon.
