I have an Airflo Delta Classic rod, great little tool and good VFM.

The Airflow reel I got (CST) to go with it isn't that great though but it's only there to hold line so it doesn't bother me.

I bought an Airflo Balance reel with two spare spools, the one I use the most with the floating line on it will not now click into place as the mechanism has broken. I have only used it about 8 times so I am pretty disapointed. Not sure if this is typical?

Does anyone know how to contact Airflo?

Thanks for any help

I bought an airflo starter kit when I started last season, practically everything has fallen to bits, the line was like a coiled spring so I replaced it with a pitsford pirate line half way through the season, the cork on the rod handle is coming apart (I have since bought a greys GRXI which is much nicer quality and around the same rrp), even basic kit like the priest fell apart (the brass end unscrewed without me noticing and diappeared) not sure if this is typical but i'd be very wary of buying airflo again (apart from their sinking lines which are very good)

Hope this helps

I've had no problems with Airflo tackle. People say their floating lines don't float well but I don't want them to float all the time. It's cheaper than a midge tip. Their sinking lines are probably the best on the market. I had one of their rods which broke and was replaced without fuss.
Their service is pretty good and I can't complain at all.

Default Sounds like Airflo has more than just 'problems' with its fly lines.

Had to laugh some years back when the folks here referred to their fly lines as "AirFlops." Interesting part was I had a couple of their 2-hander lines and they worked just fine.

Go figure?

Airflo sinking lines are excellent and their lower end rods seem to be pretty good for the money.

Their reels have always been poor IMO.

Default Airflo Lines

Hi I have to say I'm a fan of their Sixth Sense Lines. The Fast and Mid Glass lines are brilliant. Don't like the floaters though.

They'll sell you sh1t and tell you it's ice cream..

Having said that, their inters and sinkers are very good.
