4D Compact Body by Guideline

The 4D Compact concept offers a complete selection of Bodies and Tips, covering fishing with single hand, switch and double hand rods except the heaviest line weights.

Guideline 4D Compact Bodies are available in Floating and Float/Sink 3 versions. They have a powerful taper and are super easy to cast both with Scandi- and Skagit style casts.

The length of the bodies is between 5,0 and 5,4 meters, varying slightly with model, this makes them perfect for use with rods 14’ and shorter. When matched with the recommended Tip and a leader/tippet that has the correct length, they will handle both small and large flies very well, cast far and are very accurate.

For optimum performance, use them as advised with our 4D Compact Double Density Tips, available in 10’/7 grams and 12’/7 and 9 grams weight.

4D Compact Bodies come in 8 different weights, are built on strong 30 lbs Direct Contact™ cores, have the industry’s strongest factory-made loops in both ends and are color coded for line size. In addition, there is a line-ID printing in the back end of the line. Simply match with the corresponding color code on your 4D Compact Tip and you have the correct set up.

TLT (Triple Layer Technology) & Direct Contact™ Core

Complex, multiple density and hardness in the coatings of these lines help to shape the flylines of the future.

A new, revolutionary chemical formula and three different coating materials control hardness as well as memory and density in various parts of the lines. This creates better casting performance, more efficient fishing and bite detection, as well as added durability.

TLT has given us the chance to build lines that float well and repel water better and more effectively than any lines we’ve produced before. Built on braided multifilament Direct Contact™ core with only 6% stretch.

Guideline eco vision is Clean All the Way, which means the least environmental impact possible. This fly line has a Polyurethane coating instead of PVC that bleeds harmful plasticizers (Phthalates) into the water. Our boxes are made from recycled paper with water-based UV coatings and we have removed all plastic spools from the packaging. The result is that we can offer you the “cleanest” and most eco-friendly fly line on the market.
