Default Airflo Lines

Being back on the scene for a short period and having bought several Airflo lines... I think they have really got it right this time!! Something I would question a decade ago... Excellent!!! I'm short of a couple more so hopefully Gareth may read this and cob me em???... ha ha

Yep mate they are really banging some good lines out now - just so many of them though hey sweep, sixth sense, 40+, and I can confirm that IMO the new ridge nymph line (haven't tried the super supple yet) is probably the best floater from Airflo so far and is a good all round line. Credit where credits due Airflo have some great products. Even the rods are getting better, the 40+ rod is great value and chucks a long line.

I'd guess 8 out of 10 lines in a comp anglers box are airflo.

The new ultra supple floater is very very good.....although I still prefer the shakespear worcestershire.....bit lighter in the tip and non stretch is a bit scary.

Is it true they are actually pink in colour? I might get one to try, the new nymph line is great IMO. I like the non stretch

I was impressed by the hovver line while out with Phil Wood on Brenig... My hovver (from a very reputable manufacturer) sank like a slow/med sinker... also the midge tip fishing with Russ Owen's dad... Tudor!! as on his match card..

Hey BG.. is it just a coincidence you have one and they are 'Pink'?? I thought Fluo Green was your fav colour?

They aren't pink they are coral. Flu green with a brown stripe is my colour.
