Airflo Switch Streamer fly lines
£59.99
We cut. We welded. We tweaked prototypes. We
fished them HARD. This is the ultimate line for
targeting trout with streamers on switch and small
spey rods. On the water, we began to realize the
potential for smallmouth, landlocked salmon, and
just about any other critter lurking beneath the
surface. Trust us, you'll laugh like a kid when
you cast one!
Looking back a decade, it's pretty amazing to see
how far spey lines have come. Over the past five
years Airflo has pushed the boundaries of
performance and innovation to provide anadromous
anglers with options. Options offer versatility.
Versatility increases opportunity. Opportunity
means you're one cast closer to that awesome hero
shot.
Observing the landscape of two-hand fishing in
North America, it's become pretty obvious that
trout anglers have realized the benefits of using
longer rods and spey casts, especially when
streamer fishing. Each year, more rod
manufacturers are developing 2-5wt switch and spey
rods. Unfortunately, traditional weight forward
single hand lines weren't designed to match the
performance specifications of this new class of
rods. Not good. Where are the options? An
efficient, pleasurable cast is half rod, half
line. The question of "how" to build a streamer
line for light two-handers on smaller trout
streams has been a point of focus for the Airflo
design team for the past two years.
Initially, there were a few important things to
consider. The head had to be integrated into the
running line to allow the angler to make short
casts without having a looped connection rattling
through the guides. Second, the taper needed to be
aggressive enough to turn over a heavy sink-tip
and a weighted streamer but still meet the surface
of the water with "finesse". Finally, to maximize
efficiency, the mass in the head had to be
perfectly balanced but short enough to cast in
tight spots with very limited back casting room.
Toss in existing proprietary Airflo technology
-ultra slick Super-DRI coating, low stretch Power
Core, and bulletproof Polyurethane - you've got
the recipe for a killer line.
