With the revolution in non-stretch braided lines for conventional fishing, it was only a matter of time before flylines went down the same route. Airflo has created a range of technically advanced fly lines with an extremely low stretch level that recreates the feel of a ‘braided super line’ for fly fishing.
What experts say: Airflo Sales Director Gareth Jones and Welsh International Team Member
"Reducing the stretch level in a flyline gives huge advantages in terms of casting performance. The less stretch in the core, the less energy is lost during the cast – ask any tournament caster.
Working with a new production process and core material has allowed us to produce a line with around 6% stretch as opposed to the normal 20%+ whilst maintaining almost zero memory.
This minimal stretch level gives great bite detection and improved hook penetration even at extreme range. All lines are 35yds long for long distance and will certainly suit the Stillwater flyfishers they have been designed for."
