Airflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Universal - 9 ft Clear Tip Power Core Floating Tropical Saltwater
On calm days, the fish on the flats can be particularly skittish. You might even think that they are frightened by their own shadow. In such situations, a particularly sensitive presentation at long range is required. This is exactly what the Ridge 2.0 Flats Universal - 9 ft Clear Tip fly line from Airflo was developed for. Its special construction with convex front taper allows you to serve the fly with impressive precision. In addition, its long butt with long back taper allows you to reposition the fly at lightning speed - a simply terrific feature for fishing for finicky species such as permit or triggers. It also features the so-called Ridge 2.0 technology. This is a special surface structure with grooves running parallel to the line. This structure enables minimal friction in the guides, impressive shooting characteristics and a quiet lift-off from the water surface. This revised version of the Ridge technology is less “aggressively” grooved and therefore significantly smoother and also quieter when casting. It also has a so-called “haul zone” with a length of 3.6 m. This grippy area between the running line and the club enables improved line control during the cast and while fishing. It also ensures direct power transmission and a stable flight position. In combination with the very supple coating, a thin running line and Ridge 2.0 technology, this produces outstanding shooting characteristics for an impressive casting distance. And thanks to its innovative PU coating, it is significantly more durable than conventional PVC lines.
In short: The Airflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Universal - 9 ft Clear Tip fly line enables successful fishing for tricky fish - whether bonefish, trigger or permit. Thanks to its special construction, it allows a sensitive presentation with impressive precision even at long distances!

Established back in 1990, the American manufacturer Airflo is known worldwide for high-quality fly lines and all kinds of leaders. In contrast to the lines of many other manufacturers, these lines are not made of PVC. They consist of polyurethane and they are completely PVC-free. Thus, they do not contain any plasticisers, which would evaporate over time. Therefore, these lines have multiple environmental benefits: They do not release harmful plasticisers into our waters and they save valuable resources due to their excellent durability. Further, they combine an outstanding performance with a great value for money. In addition to modern fly lines, this large selection also includes shooting heads, running lines and all kinds of leaders. Therefore, Airflo offers the perfect line for every type of fishing – whether you’re fishing in fresh or saltwater!
