Cortland’s C16™ Super Braid is the most advanced gel-spun fiber, hollow core casting and trolling line available for saltwater fishing today. Braided in our Cortland, New York, manufacturing facility from 16 gel-spun fibers, C16 line features a tight, round weave and uniform pick count (wraps per inch) for an exceptionally smooth surface that packs tightly on the spool with no flattening or digging in. Its fine diameter minimizes line drag when trolling or fighting fish, and the 16 carrier construction results in incredible resistance to nicks and abrasions during protracted fights with big fish.

The C16 line delivers extreme sensitivity and instant hooksets since the gel-spun fibers have virtually no stretch. C16 also features Cortland’s proprietary FiberTech® super braid protection, a unique treatment (not a coating) which penetrates the weave and bonds with the individual gel-spun fibers to stiffen and improve the handling characteristics of the line. ColorLast provides a permanent color while FiberTech® reduces friction in the guides and increases the line’s durability.

C16 is braided with Cortland’s spliceable hollow core construction for fast and reliable splicing of end-loops for wind-on leaders or direct splices for top shots of Monofilament or Fluorocarbon.

Wealth of Knowledge

Matt is a wealth of knowledge and never hesitates to give you actionable and honest advise. He also knows how to put you on fish, putting us on our first BFT on spin gear. Epic adventures. A refreshing voice on the other end of the radio too.

Great site!

A wealth of info, well worth subscribing to; Matt does a great job

Decades of BFT intel

Bluefin+ is the best online resource for learning to target BFT in New England. Hard to put a price tag on Capt Matt’s decades of experience fishing these waters - helped us have another great year!

Epic fishing

Captain Matt is super knowledgeable and went above and beyond to put us on once in a lifetime fish. Can’t recommend this outfit enough if you want to catch big bluefin

I have been Tuna fishing for a few years now and this has been one of the best experiences I have had on the water. Not only a great time but really informative and worth every penny. Can’t beat time on water with this crew.

Priceless advice

The wealth of information I have gained from the site has changed the way I fish completely. Had several days this season where the techniques I learned have applied to the situation and paid off. I highly recommend this site to other anglers looking for an edge on the water

Bluefin plus

One of the most informative pages out there! True and honest advice, by a top tier caption. I’ll be a member for life

I’ve recently singed up as a monthly subscriber to Bluefin Plus. Since then, Matt has helped me dial in my techniques and helped us become more successful. We landed our first bluefin last Tuesday (68” 125lbs) with a jogging technique I learned from his tutorials. I’ve also talked with him about tackle and what to and what not to purchase. Bluefin Plus is an underpriced investment that I was lucky to find. Thank you guys!!!!
