Fly Fishing Lines
Airflo
Airflo Super Dri
More than a decade ago Airflo revolutionized the fly line industry by developing the technology to build lines from Pollyurethane instead of the PVC used by all the other manufacturers, and in the process created a series of fly lines that were infinitatly more durrable, stayed cleaner, floated better, and eliminted the excessive stretch that plagued conventonal PVC lines. Now, Airflo’s next quantim leap forward in fly line technology has arrived—Super Dri—which takes advantage of a wave of new nano-engineered hydorphobic materials that give us what amounts to a Super Teflon fly line that repells water and dirt so effectivly that they float higher and pick up from the waer is noticably easier (less friction) than any other fly line on the planet. And, these supple floaing lines are reinforced in the “haul zone” with a stiffer coating to bring increased csting ease and distance into the equation.
Super Dri Elite
The "go-to" trout line. With a modest front taper and
standard head length, this line does it all—good for
all aspects of trout fishing. Available in WF3F to WF6F
in Sunrise Yellow in Lichen Green with Pale Yellow “zone.” $84.99
Super Dri River and Stream
With a long front taper this line utilizes Airflo’s popular “Delta” profile for the gentlest presentation at any distance, and in the larger sizes it also doubles up as a great single hand Spey line. Available in WF3 to WF8, and the color is pale mint / grey. $84.99
Airflo Streamer Max—Short
While these Streamer Max fly lines were originally designed for getting big flies deep into fast running freshwater currents, they’re also absolutely perfect for surf fishing and other on-shore saltwater fly fishing pursuits—Saltwater safe—in water temps from 40-86 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, the Streamer Max Short is available in 200, 240, and 280 gr. weights—ideal for more accurately matching the lighter 6-8 weight rods most often used for surf and general on-shore saltwater fly fishing. As with all Airflo fly lines, these Streamer Max Short lines are made with Polyurethane instead of PVC, making them infinitely more durable, able to stand up to all manner of bug sprays, etc., that will kill conventional fly lines. Also, their “Power Core” has way less stretch than conventional PVC lines for better hooking characteristics. And…then…there’s their unique absence of the excessive coiling that plagues conventional PVC lines. Length: 100’ (15-18’ sinking head with intermediate back taper and floating running line). Color: black / orange. $99.99
