Thumbs up New one piece Airflo 40+ lines - coming soon

Hi All, There is a new Airflo 40+ line on trial at the moment, that is one piece. No more worrying about the running line join. Slick and smooth.

I don't know the full story yet, as I only got the e-mail yesterday. Airflo have invested a lot in this one, so this should be good. I'll let you know as I get the info.

Best Regards

smudger564

I wonder if it'll still kiss the water like a baby elephant?

Buy a Rio Outbound, or Outbound Short. Having cast both Outbounds and the 40+, the Outbound is a much better line IMO.

Hi RRW35, I used to own a Rio Outbound. Quite a good line as you say. I'm going to start with the 40+ soon, just so I can experience what people say about the line. Then, Next year I'll be able to compare it, to the old line.

Regards

Would be interested to hear your views. I found the floating 40+ to have horrendous head memory, but maybe they have improved. The intermediates and sinkers were fine though.

Default Floaters & Sinkers?

Hi RRW53, Was the head memory in the sinking range, or the Floaters too?

This could be interesting?

Regards

I had an Outbound and it is very nicely made but the turnover is terrible and the running line a bit thick IMO.

The 40+ Expert casts and turns over beatifully and the sinkers have no memory BUT they only last about 10 trips before they need replacing.......................that's the problem
