Airflo Ridge 2.0 Superflo Tactical Taper Trout Floating Fly Line Bamboo/Watery Olive
With the Ridge 2.0 Superflo Tactical Taper Trout fly line, Airflo presents a modern floating line with a relatively long taper for sensitive presentations - whether with dry flies or nymphs. It has a long front taper for clean unwinding and transporting long leaders, which is particularly advantageous when fishing for delicate fish. At the same time, it can be gently released at all distances, making it suitable for a variety of different types of water - from small streams to large rivers. And thanks to its versatile casting properties, it allows not only overhead casts, but also roll and spey casts. This enables a successful presentation even in situations without a backwater. It also has a so-called haul zone with a length of 3 metres. This grippy area between the running line and the haul enables improved line control during the cast and while fishing. It also ensures direct power transmission and a stable flight position. 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 minimises friction in the guides, ensures 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. In combination with this technology and a thin running line, 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: With the Ridge 2.0 Superflo Tactical Taper fly line, you can serve your fly sensitively at all distances - whether close or far. This makes it a first-class choice for demanding fishing for tricky fish!

Established back in 1990, the British 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!
