The Scientific Anglers Wet Cel Mono Core WF-13-S is a sinking fly line designed for anglers who need to get their flies deep quickly. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Specs & Features:
– Line Type: Weight-forward (WF) sinking fly line
– Sink Rate: Type S (slow to moderate sink, typically ~1.5–2.5 inches per second)
– Weight: 13-weight (ideal for large saltwater species, pike, musky, or deep lake fishing)
– Core: Mono Core (monofilament core for durability and abrasion resistance)
– Length: 100 feet (standard fly line length)
– Color: Typically dark (black, dark green, or blue) for low visibility underwater
Best Uses:
– Saltwater fishing (tarpon, permit, big game)
– Deep freshwater fishing (striped bass, pike, musky, lake trout)
– Streamer fishing (when you need to get bulky flies down fast)
Pros:
✔ Fast sink rate helps reach deeper zones quickly
✔ Durable mono core resists saltwater corrosion & abrasion

Cons:
✖ 13-weight line requires a heavy rod (not for beginners)
✖ Slow sink rate (Type S) may not be ideal for extreme depths
