Product Description

Scientific Anglers - Amplitude Textured Bass Bug Fly Line | Slick, powerful, and purpose-built for bass.

The Scientific Anglers Amplitude Textured Bass Bug Fly Line is a high-performance floating line built for anglers targeting both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Featuring the industry-leading AST Plus slickness additive, this line is engineered to shoot farther and last longer than conventional lines—lasting over 8 times longer than others on the market. Its textured design reduces friction and increases flotation, offering superior castability and durability in warm-weather conditions.

With a powerful front taper similar to the Titan Long, the Amplitude Bass Bug is designed to effortlessly turn over bulky flies like poppers and articulated streamers. Whether you’re bombing casts into lily pads or bouncing flies off the bank, this line gives you the control and punch to fish aggressively and effectively. Built to thrive in the heat and handle the heaviest flies, it’s arguably the best bass-specific fly line available today.

High-top construction with integrated and adjustable gasket seal at ankle height to keep out sand and gravel
Vibram Idrogrip Flex outsole for supreme in-river stability
Integrated holes for optimal drainage
Quick-adjust lacing system with built-in lace garages allow quick fit adjustment and prevents line snag

Wading Boots FAQ

Q: What types of wading boots and shoes do you sell?
A: At Drift Outfitters, we carry a wide range of wading boots and shoes designed for comfort, traction, and durability. Options include lightweight wet-wading shoes for summer, rugged felt-sole boots for slippery riverbeds, and stud-compatible rubber soles for all-season versatility.

Q: Should I choose felt or rubber soles for my wading boots?
A: Rubber soles are more versatile, easier to clean, and often required where felt is restricted due to invasive species concerns, if fishing in freezing conditions rubber is always better. Many anglers add studs to rubber soles for maximum traction. Felt soles offer exceptional grip on slimy rocks and are popular on many trout streams.

Q: How do I choose the right size of wading boots?
A: Boots need to be sized large enough to fit over the stocking feet of your waders, so most anglers go up one full shoe size. Always check the manufacturer’s sizing chart and consider whether you’ll wear thicker socks or use them for wet-wading in warmer months.

Q: Which wading boot brands do you carry?
A: We stock top wading footwear brands Simms and Patagonia. These companies are trusted for their durability, comfort, and innovation in fly fishing gear.

Q: Can I use wading boots for wet-wading without waders?
A: Yes, many anglers use wading boots or shoes with neoprene socks for wet-wading in the summer. This setup is lightweight, breathable, and keeps your feet protected while fishing without full waders.

Q: How should I care for my wading boots?
A: Always rinse boots after use, especially in saltwater, and allow them to dry completely before storage. Cleaning off mud and debris helps extend their life and prevents the spread of invasive species between waterways.
