Exclamation line ID

When out today I noticed my 444 floater was past it's best, so looked through my bag of odd's and sod's and found what I think is a Snowbee floater that I have taken off an e-bay reel.
So the question (or 2 ) is,Is the snowbee floater a fine shade of pink.and does it have a very fine tip.

It's a softer PINK than the Cortland (if that's possible)

Default Fly Line ID

Hi Jim

The only genuine pretty pink fly line I know of is an Airflo Ridge Supple fly line.This is bright pink known as hot coral. If I were you I'd get a new line in a traditional masculine colour and give the pink line to a lady angler before fishermen start talking. Best wishes tight lines.

Default Snowbee Line

Jim,

Snowbee did have a Floating Pink line, I had one a few seasons back It was an Extreme Distance Floater.

It was a good line.
