The tight loop and high line speed of the EPR #9 give you the ability to make long, accurate casts with minimum false casting — a critical advantage when a permit or tarpon appears at distance and you have seconds to deliver the fly.

Second, line speed: the tight loop and high line speed of the EPR #10 cut through the strongest coastal and offshore winds, delivering large flies to sighted fish with the accuracy and authority that big game situations demand.
