Airflo Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Tactical Taper Fly Line Floating
On calm days, the fish on the flats can be incredibly spooky. Sometimes, it even seems like they are afraid of their own shadow. Situations like this require a very precise long-distance presentation. With these situations in mind, Airflo developed the Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Tactical Taper Fly Line. It has a special design with a convex front taper for extremely delicate and precise presentations. Further, it has a long belly with a long back taper for repositioning the fly within seconds, which is a truly outstanding feature for targeting picky species such as permit or trigger. It is equipped with the so-called Ridge 2.0 Technology. This is a special surface structure with grooves running parallel to the line. This structure enables significantly reduced friction, impressive shooting properties and silent lifting from the surface. In fact, this updated version of the Ridge Technology is much smoother and it is very quiet while casting. In addition, it has a so-called “Haul Zone” with a length of 3,6 m. This is a slightly thicker section between running line and head for improved line control while casting and while fishing. Furthermore, it provides a direct power transmission and it noticeably stabilizes the head while shooting. Combined with a very smooth coating, a thin running line and the Ridge 2.0 Technology, this creates outstanding shooting properties for an impressive casting distance. Last but not least, it is more durable compared to conventional PVC lines due to its innovative PU coating.
In short: The Airflo Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Tactical Taper Fly Line allows you to successfully target challenging fish – whether bonefish, trigger or permit. Due to its special design, it enables delicate long-distance presentations with impressive precision!

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!
