Default What type of line is it?

I have a new Airflo Ridge Supple Distance (colour is mint Green), It was a prize in a draw.
What type of line is it? E.G. floating or what?
Or can someone advise me on how to use it.

Liam, it only has Polyfuse XT on one side and Ridge Line on the other. this is why I am asking, there is no mention of type.

Like Hobble says look on the side of the box or look for the code number on the box. Last few digits will WF or DT to indicate Weight forward or Double Taper, then line rating number e.g.7 and then a letter e.g. F for floater so should look something like (WF7-F)

Grayling, do you think it is a tactical floater?
I ask because most lines are precise with the colour and as this states mint green not green I am not sure what I have.

i'd say that it's a weight forward 7/8 floater going by the code number.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

Can anyone tell me if it is a good line? I have a cortland peach floater at the moment, is it better?
