Default Anyone using Airflo Ridge Ultra Supple - What's the feedback

Hi All, I'm considering a Floating line change. The Ridge Ultra Supple is building quite a following, so I wanted to know, if this is as good as people say. I use the Sixth Sense range of intermediates and these are fantastic.

Any feedback would be great.

Best Regards

smudger564 I have recently changed to the Ridge supple (from the sixth sense floater) and I have to say in my humble opinion it is much better it is not as thick seems to go further (with my limited casting any way)

Default Airflo ridge

I've been using a WF5 and a WF7 since they were first sold last year with no problems. No memory issues at all

Default Recently tried one

Hi, Just recently tried one and I'm impressed. No memory whatsoever. Straight as a die, just falls to the floor and lies there, no coiling.

This is very good.

Regards

Got my hands on one today for the first time ever.
Never even owned an Airflo line of any description in my life.
Have to say, it is memory free, and looks, apart from being Barbie pink, (it's called Hot Coral) excellent.
Must have a cast with it soon, and see how it floats.

Airflo and Floats should never be mentioned in the same sentence. I have sent three of these back because I've had intermediates that float longer this line. You are correct that it is supple but it sinks unfortunately.
