I am considering buying 40+ rod old model with single line rating £39.99 from fishtec.Am I right in believing 40+ lines are 1 size heavier than stated on the box, and therefore a 6 weight rod would match a weight forward 7 line thankyou
John

Hi John,
I have a couple of 40+ lines and they are basically like a shooting head with a heavy front section of about 30' and a thin shooting line.The head section is factory joined to the running line with a very smooth join there is no bump to catch in the rings.The distance you can cast with very little effort is unbelievable.It does what it says on the tin 35/40 yard casts are quite acheivable but they do tend to land in a bit of a heap if casting into the wind. Mine are W/F7 but they feel like casting a W/F8 I use mine on reservoirs for bank fishing well worth buying.
Cheers

I cant help you on there line rating as the one I bought for my partner to fish with has not been used yet but for the money it feels a nice rod and has a good finish.. I cast a 7# one with the 40+ line and it flew.

Be very careful with 40+ lines. I have an''8'' weight on which the head [actually the first 34 feet] weighs 360 grains. That's a fag paper short of a 12 weight.

Thanks for the replies, I will probably get a 10ft 6 or 7 weight, nothing to lose at the price. It does not seem worthwhile buying any Airflow rods until they have been out about a year when they sell most of them at
About half price.
