Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth TITAN GT Fly Line Review (and Sonar Titan GT)- New Lines for 2024!
It is not every day you see a brand new fly line aimed at Giant Trevally (GT) so we were excited to find out about this new one called Amplitude Smooth TITAN GT from SA (actually two new ones counting the Sonar Titan GT variant which is very similar but intermediate tip rather than full floating). We will be testing these lines like we always do but the only real competitors are RIO Elite GT (a bestseller for sure) and RIO Elite Tropical Outbound Short (second best-selling GT and number one offshore fly line currently). We will update this review once we have had time to do thorough testing but I personally think as good as this line is, it requires you to do your own loops rather than integrating them like the Rio lines, which may turn away a lot of beginners. Again that doesn't mean "don't buy it" because it's a great line but it is something you will need to know and the main difference for a beginner picking a GT line.
Here's the description of the new line directly from Scientific Anglers:
