Scientific Anglers Amplitude Smooth MPX
Power Meets Finesse—Now in a Silent, Slick Package.
The Amplitude Smooth MPX is a best-in-class all-purpose fly line designed to do everything a trout angler could ask for—and do it quietly. Built a half-size heavy with a front-biased taper, it loads modern fast-action rods with authority while still allowing for delicate dry fly presentations when it counts.
This line features SA’s AST Plus slickness additive, making it one of the slickest, longest-lasting coatings on the market—but in a smooth finish that slides silently through guides (no textured “zip” like the original Amplitude series). Whether you’re throwing hoppers, chucking nymph rigs, or punching into wind, MPX handles it.
