The flats workhorse.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scientific Anglers SONAR Saltwater Clear Intermediate is the slow-sinking clear-head fly line built for anglers who fish below the surface but not deep. Most of the time in the salt, you don't need a true topwater line — you need an intermediate that slips just below the surface film and cuts through chop without spooking fish. The 1.25 ips sink rate puts your fly in the strike zone without sinking it past it, and the clear intermediate head delivers low-visibility presentations to wary fish on the flats. Tropi-Core technology means the line stays supple in tropical heat without going limp in cooler water. Six weights cover redfish through tarpon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow 1.25 ips sink rate — flies stay just below surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear intermediate head — low-visibility presentation to spooky fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTropi-Core technology — built for tropical climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered specifically for saltwater use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix weights covering bonefish through tarpon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSA SONAR SW INT WF X I (X = line weight)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSink Rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25 ips (Intermediate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear intermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTropi-Core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeights\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWF-7-I, WF-8-I, WF-9-I, WF-10-I, WF-11-I, WF-12-I\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRedfish, bonefish, permit, snook, tarpon, striped bass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRigging \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWF-7 \/ WF-8\u003c\/strong\u003e: bonefish, redfish, schoolie striper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWF-9\u003c\/strong\u003e: the workhorse line — permit, snook, mid-size striper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWF-10 \/ WF-11\u003c\/strong\u003e: tarpon, big striper, GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWF-12\u003c\/strong\u003e: trophy tarpon and offshore work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe clear head is what makes this work for spooky fish — don't lay it across the fish's path, lay it slightly past and let the fly drift back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTropi-Core handles 80-90°F flats heat without going limp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn intermediate line is the workhorse of saltwater fly fishing for a reason — most of the time you want your fly just under the surface, not deep. The SONAR Saltwater Intermediate gets that math right: slow enough to stay in the zone, clear enough to not spook fish in calm conditions. At $99 it's also a value play vs. some flagship intermediates that don't perform any better. The WF-9 is the line we sell most consistently — it covers most Northeast striper and Southeast permit\/snook scenarios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Saltwater Edge","offers":[{"title":"WF-7-I","offer_id":48059963867393,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WF-8-I","offer_id":48059963900161,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WF-9-I","offer_id":48059963932929,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WF-10-I","offer_id":48059963965697,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WF-11-I","offer_id":48059963998465,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"WF-12-I","offer_id":48059964031233,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2692\/2314\/files\/ScreenShot2026-02-11at10.27.19AM.png?v=1770830410","url":"https:\/\/saltwateredge.com\/es\/products\/scientific-anglers-saltwater-clear-intermediate","provider":"The Saltwater Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
