|
| Abdomen |
The hindmost part of the body of an insect or crustacean. |
| Adams Fly |
The most common mayfly pattern used throughout the U.S. Its parts are similar to many common mayfly imitations. |
| Advanced Compound Taper |
Instead of a straight line from fly rod butt to tip, the Advanced Compound Taper (ACT) increases the degree of taper near the tip of the rod. To visualize this, a straight taper would look like an inverted V and the ACT is shaped like the Washington Monument. The result is a "forgiving" tip that makes a fly rod a great casting and fishing tool. |
| Alignment Triangles |
Triangles on each rod section of the Fly Logic Optimum Plus Series for lining up the sections. A Fly Logic exclusive! |
| Anadromous Fish |
Fish that live part or most of their adult life in saltwater but spawn in freshwater. |
| Anodized |
To treat the surface of a metal by making it the anode of an electrolytic bath. Color is added after the anode process (come Fly Logic Optimum Series reels feature a two-color process such as Midnight Blue or Mossy Green). |
| Ant |
An ant fly pattern used when fishing rivers and lakes for trout, bass, and panfish. |
| Arbor Knot |
Used for tying line to the reel. |
| Attractor |
An artificial fly that will excite a fish to strike even though it does not resemble any specific natural food. |
