Scientific Anglers Sonar Tropical/Jungle Custom Tip
Scientific Anglers Sonar Tropical Jungle Custom Tip is built for deep presentations when targeting powerful species such as tigerfish in large rivers like the Zambezi. The fast-sinking head carries flies down quickly and stays deep, while the intermediate running line maintains control in heavy water. Designed to be custom-cut, the line allows weight adjustment by trimming the front section.
Technologies
- AST – Slickness additive that reduces friction improves shootability and keeps lines performing longer.
- Welded Loops – Durable welded front loop for easy reliable loop-to-loop leader connections.
- Sonar – Density-tuned sinking technology providing smooth sink profiles and stable depth control during retrieves.
- Tropi-Core – Extra-rigid tropical monofilament core designed to resist heat maintain stiffness and deliver powerful turnover in hot climates.
Temperature Rating
- Hot / Tropical – 20°C to 40°C
Target Species
- Tigerfish
- Tuna
- Yellowtail
Types of Flies
- Streamers
- Baitfish patterns
Additional Features
- Custom-cut design lets you trim the front of the line to achieve the exact grain weight required.
- Fast-sinking head delivers rapid depth for aggressive freshwater and saltwater predators.
- Shooting head fused to an intermediate running line for stable depth control.
- Intermediate running line maintains consistent tension when fishing deep.
- Ideal for tigerfish on the Zambezi where deep presentations and long swings are needed.
- Comes with braided add-on loop for easy connection after cutting.
