Guideline Compline PRO 100M

Product detailed description

Guideline Compline PRO 100M is a new-generation monofilament shooting line for anglers who want maximum line speed through the rod rings, low memory, direct contact with the shooting head and very high strength for its diameter. It is made for single-hand, ULS, switch and double-hand setups where the main fly line system is built around a separate shooting head, Scandi body or multi-tip system.

Compline PRO is not a coated running line. It is an oval monofilament shooting line, which behaves differently from a classic round mono running line. The oval profile helps the line lift and shoot out of the water more efficiently, reduces resistance during the cast and improves the way the line travels through the guides. This makes it a very strong choice for anglers who want to get the maximum distance and efficiency from a shooting head while keeping a clean, direct feel to the setup.

One of the key features of this line is its very low memory. The material straightens extremely well, even after loops, twists, small kinks or normal storage on the spool. On the water this means fewer problems with coils in the line hand, cleaner shooting of the head and less energy loss during repeated casts.

The surface is smooth, slick and pleasant to handle. It slides well through the guides and keeps a fast, clean feel over time. Guideline also chose bright, highly saturated colors that make the line easier to see at dusk, in low light or against darker water. Better visibility helps with line control, mending, tracking the swing and collecting the line after the cast.

Compline PRO is supplied on a 100 m spool. A marking at 50 m makes it easy to divide the spool into two equal shooting lines for two reels or two different setups. That is especially useful with lighter and mid-strength variants, where a full 100 m length is not always needed on one reel.

The range includes five strengths from 25 lb / 11.3 kg to 65 lb / 29.4 kg. Each variant has its own diameter, color and best-use window. The lighter versions are aimed at single-hand rods and light ULS heads, the mid-range models suit all-round salmon, sea trout and switch fishing, while the strongest variants are built for heavy sinking heads, big rods and powerful fish.

The 25 lb / 11.3 kg version is the thinnest and fastest model in the range. It makes sense for single-hand rods, light ULS heads and situations where minimal resistance through the guides and maximum distance are the main priorities.

The 35 lb / 15.8 kg version adds easier handling and a little more confidence while still remaining slim enough for single-hand and light switch fishing. It works well with ULS, compact shooting heads and lighter multi-tip systems.

The 45 lb / 20.4 kg version is the most universal all-round choice for salmon, steelhead and sea trout. It suits rods roughly from 11'6" to 14' and line ratings around #6/7 to #9/10.

The 55 lb / 25 kg version is made for bigger water, stronger rods, heavier heads and sinking systems. It is a strong match for rods around #9/10 to #10/11 and lengths of about 13'9" to 15'9".

The 65 lb / 29.4 kg version is the strongest model in the series. It is intended for large rivers, big rods, heavy sinking heads and situations where the shooting line should not become the weak point of the setup.

Compline PRO is fluorocarbon free and made in Japan. For practical fishing, the main advantage is the combination of low memory, slick surface, oval profile, high strength and strong visibility.

Frequently asked questions – Guideline Compline PRO 100M

What is Compline PRO used for?

Compline PRO is a monofilament shooting line used behind shooting heads, Scandi bodies, ULS heads, switch setups and double-hand systems. It gives low resistance during the cast and a more direct connection to the head and fly.

How is it different from a coated running line?

A mono shooting line has a smaller diameter and usually shoots faster through the guides. A coated running line feels fuller and is easier to grip. Compline PRO is the choice for anglers who prefer maximum shooting performance, low memory and direct contact.

Why does Compline PRO have an oval profile?

The oval profile helps the line lift from the water and travel through the guides with less resistance. It also improves the feel in the hand compared with some very thin round monofilament lines.

Which strength should I choose for light ULS and single-hand fishing?

For light ULS and single-hand shooting heads, the best choices are 25 lb or 35 lb. Choose 25 lb for the lowest resistance and maximum distance. Choose 35 lb if you want easier handling and more reserve strength.

Which strength should I choose for salmon and double-hand rods?

For general salmon, steelhead and sea trout fishing, 45 lb is the most versatile choice. For bigger rivers, stronger rods and heavier sinking systems, 55 lb or 65 lb makes more sense.

Can the 100 m spool be split between two reels?

Yes. Compline PRO has a 50 m marking, so the spool can be divided into two equal lengths for two reels or two different shooting head setups.

Does Compline PRO have low memory?

Yes. Low memory is one of the key advantages of this line. It straightens very well after coils, twists, small kinks or normal storage on the spool.

Is Compline PRO fluorocarbon free?

Yes. Guideline lists Compline PRO as a fluorocarbon-free shooting line.

What fish and techniques is it suitable for?

Depending on the strength, it suits trout, sea trout, steelhead, salmon, switch fishing, ULS systems and heavier double-hand setups with sinking heads.
