Airflo GT Fly Line

New Aiflo Ridge GT Lines 12 # - My Review and reccomendation

Airflo Ridge GT line was developed and field tested on Cosmoledo that should give us an idea of the kind of punishment these lines were intended for ! This would also make a great Tarpon line.

I used the 12 # GT line on my recent trip to the Seychelles . The line flies out . I was chucking giant 6/0 Poppers . The line had great turnover( or as much as you could hope for with Giant popper) It was stiff enough for the tropics but not too stiff. It has a 50 Lb core so I had confidence to give it everything when combined with 66 lb backing and 100 lb leader. I did however replace the weilded loops with 50 lb Gudebrod braided loops double nail knotted and glued. The weilded loops may be ok I just needed to be 100 % confident. The other nice thing about the Airflo ridge GT line is the price. At £ 35 you can afford to take a couple of spares with you. Something to consider when tussling GTs on the Flats. I had a Barracuda bite one of my fly lines in half on my last trip. Crazy things happen out in these places!!

New Airflo Depth Finder Big Game

Back in 2008, the Depth Finder Big Game lines now feature seamless no-weld technology with a single transition from the running line to the head. Along with the 50lb test Power Core, that makes this line one tough beast. The Big Game Depth Finder is 150' long and has the highest density heads on the market available in 400, 500 and 700 grains.

bermuda triangle fly line

I give the Bermuda Triangle Lines 10 / 10 . I found the short head loaded the rod fast ,great for sight fishing for Bones and Tarpon. Most short headed fly lines land in a heap . I found the turnover of the line perfect,also the stiff braided core prevents stretch problems when strip striking. I used both floating and the 20 foot intermediate tip . 8 - 10 and 11 weights

. Great product !!

Lee Wulff Bermuda Triangle Line up with our newest family of fly lines, the Bermuda Triangle Tapers. Built to withstand the wilting heat of tropical flats and blistering decks, this line will continue to cast like a rocket when others have folded up. That's because we build it around a special 16-strand braided monofilament core that stays stiff to deliver blazing casts -- even in blazing heat. The finish is also harder and slicker than our regular saltwater lines, with a slightly bumpy texture that helps facilitate longer casts. And, because it's a Triangle Taper, it features a tip that can be customized. The lighter, neutral colors "disappear" into the sea and sky for added stealth. Works best at temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit but can be used at lower temperatures. 105' length, with a 30' taper, and a 75' running line.

Its great to be able to sell the products I can happily recommend, This has been my choice of Intermediate over the last year for Striped Bass and uk Saltwater flyfishing. I would regard it as slightly stiff , this enhances shooting. It also sinks slightly faster than many other intermediate lines. I have fished Clousers upto size 2/0 on the 8 # and have had no problems with turnover. I had a great response to this product from my guiding clients in 2007.

I also use the Rio Outbound 8 # Di 8 Sinking line for Striper fishing from shore and also Boat fishing in the UK. This line flies out. The best thing about the outbounds is that they will arialise way past tip.So you dont have to be to precise with the overhang when casting.

Rio Outbound Fly Line
With a little celestial guidance, RIO has created the OutBound Intergrated Shooting Taper. With this line, the average freshwater or saltwater caster can launch casts far, far, away to the previously unreachable. Designed to load high performance rods quickly with few false casts because the 11.4m (37.5 ft) head is heavier than the AFTMA standards.

The supple, coldwater Powerflex core and coating, combined with a taper design unique to each model, plus a thin tangle-free running line, ensure the longest flight time for unearthly casts. Available in 5 models from floating and intermediate heads with floating running lines to DC Type 3, DC Type 6 and DC Type 8 sinking heads with intermediate running lines. The lines include welded loops on both ends and are colour-coded for sink rate
