Airflo Elbi's Special Pike Fly Line #7/8
Peter Elberse (Elbi) has designed this ultra short head pike line in cooperation with Airflo. It is a shooting head tapered fly line that allows you to shoot biggest pike flies with less false casts. The broad spectrum of sinking rates provides best choices for each water level. Our favorites are the lines with sinking head and intermeadiate running line. In our opinion Airflo is the top manufacturer for all kind of sinking lines and proofs that once more with this range. The head is easy to handle and densitiy compensated for even sink rates and direct contact when stripping your fly. Perfect to target ground laying pikes or pikeperchs.
This lighter version of the popular Elbi's Special Pike is designed for pike fishing with smaller, hand-length streamers. In addition to use on an 8 or 7 rod, the line is also extremely good for fishing for zander or sea bass. A robust, durable line with various sink rates that is excellent for casting all distances. All lines are two-coloured, so you always have a reference point when fishing and casting.
