Scientific Anglers Magnitude Trout Textured Infinity 10' Clear Float Tip
In Stock • Bozeman, MT
- Half-size Heavy
- 10' Clear Tip
- For Dries, Nymphs, Streamers & Poppers/Big Dries
Description
The Magnitude Textured Infinity Clear Tip pairs SA's extended-head Infinity taper with a 10-foot clear floating tip section, built for presenting flies to pressured, technical trout without the visual giveaway of a standard colored tip. Built half a size heavy, the taper is designed to load fast-action rods, though it also performs well on medium-fast blanks.
The extended head -- growing from 48 feet on the WF4 to 50 feet on the WF6 -- gives the line strong loop control at distance and mending ability once a fish is hooked. Floating Texture on the tip section boosts flotation without sacrificing the material's transparency, and Shooting Texture on the running line delivers measurably longer casts. DuraCoat's dual-polymer construction pairs a supple, low-memory core wrap with a slick, abrasion-resistant outer layer, while SA's EST+ additive is built into the coating for smoother shooting and long-term durability.

FAQ
What are the parts of a fly line and what does each section do?
A weight-forward fly line has five sections: Running Line: The thin, level back section that shoots through guides. Rear Taper: The transition from running line to belly, part of what gives this taper its distance mending ability. Belly (Head): The thickest section and an extended-length head for this taper family, growing from 48 feet on the WF4 to 50 feet on the WF6. Front Taper: The transition from belly to tip, delivering clean turnover of dries, nymphs, and light streamers. Tip: The final 10 feet, built from a transparent material for Clear Floating Technology, finished with a welded loop.
How does the Magnitude Smooth Infinity Clear Tip compare to the Magnitude Textured Infinity Clear Tip?
SA builds this taper in two finishes on the identical head length and grain weight -- the difference is in surface finish and added technology. Magnitude Smooth Infinity Clear Tip (reviewed here): SA's classic smooth, texture-free finish -- quieter through the guides and a more traditional feel. Magnitude Textured Infinity Clear Tip: The same taper, but with Floating Texture on the tip for extra flotation and Shooting Texture on the running line for longer casts. Choose the Smooth version for the same proven taper in a traditional coating. Choose the Textured version for the added flotation and shooting distance.
What is Clear Floating Technology and why does a 10-foot clear tip help on pressured water?
The 10-foot tip on this line is built from a transparent material rather than a colored coating, so the final section nearest the fly -- the part a fish sees longest before eating -- doesn't create a visible line silhouette on the water. On heavily pressured, technical water where trout have learned to key on standard fly line colors, that transparency can make the difference between a refusal and an eat, particularly on slow currents and flat water where a colored tip sits in a fish's window the longest.
What is DuraCoat and how does it hold up over a season?
DuraCoat is SA's dual-polymer coating construction, built specifically for the Magnitude series. The core is wrapped in a supple material that keeps memory low and adhesion strong, while the outer layer is built for slickness and abrasion resistance. Together, that construction is designed to hold up to repeated use without the coating cracking or degrading the way older single-layer coatings can over a season of hard fishing.
What is EST+ and how does it affect casting?
EST+ is SA's slickness additive, built into the Magnitude coating to reduce friction through the guides and extend the coating's working life. In practice, that means less resistance on the cast and a line that continues to shoot smoothly further into a season rather than losing its slickness after the first few trips.
