They're not good floating lines, lays on the water like a coiled up spring.

I have Barrio and PP lines for river work....happy with both, would steer you away from airflo floaters (although as has been said....their sinkers are good)

John Norris have their Pro2 lines on offer at half price (£12.99)

Their Pro2 only come in WF but the Pro2 Stealth (also £12.99) are also in DT.
