Cortland
Another thing that hasn't changed is the passion they put into their products. Ray Smith was a fisherman who wanted a better line and went about finding a way to make one. At Cortland Line, they're fisherman too. It's not unusual to see a Cortland employee walk down to the river during his lunch hour for "just a couple casts."
You see, they live to fish. And because they fish they know that the difference between success and failure on the water can depend on your line. Like you, they want to fish with the best lines available. So they build every Cortland Line as if they were going to use it themselves.
Saltwater fishing line and terminal tackle are critical components for anglers venturing into the demanding world of saltwater fishing. Saltwater fishing lines are specially designed to withstand the corrosive nature of saltwater and the brute force of hard-fighting fish. Braided lines, fluorocarbon lines, and heavy monofilament lines are popular choices due to their strength and abrasion resistance. Terminal tackle, including hooks, swivels, sinkers, leaders, and jigs must be built to withstand the harsh saltwater environment and the powerful pulls of big game fish. The right selection of line and terminal tackle ensures anglers can effectively present baits or lures, withstand the forces of the ocean, and increase their chances of successfully landing saltwater trophies.
