Airflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Universal Intermediate Power Core Tropical Saltwater Teal/Aqua
Fishing in saltwater often requires a high degree of flexibility. Whether heavy crabs in a howling wind or bonefish patterns in a light breeze, you rarely know what conditions you will encounter on the flats. It is also important to present the fly precisely in unforeseen situations. This is exactly what the Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Universal Intermediate fly line from Airflo was developed for. This powerful intermediate line has a compact design. Its pointed, relatively short butt gives it extremely assertive casting properties, which enables a successful presentation even in unfavorable wind conditions. Due to the high weight distribution in the front section of the butt, it allows you to load the rod quickly so that you can react to the fish within seconds. It transports even large and weighted flies with ease. This allows you to fish in a variety of ways, allowing you to react spontaneously to the conditions on the water - come what may. 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 haul 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 Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Universal Intermediate fly line lives up to its name, because this is a real powerhouse. With its assertive casting properties, it transports everything to the target - from a small crab to a large baitfish. This makes it a first-class choice for varied fishing for all kinds of saltwater predators such as bonefish, permit or tarpon!
Details:
- Modern WF intermediate line for saltwater fishing
- Relatively compact butt for extremely assertive casting properties
- High weight distribution in the front section of the club for fast rod loading
- Enables long casting distances with few empty casts
- “Haul Zone” with a length of 3.6 m - a grippy area between the running line and the haul for improved line control during the cast and while fishing
- Ridge 2.0 technology: Special surface structure with grooves running parallel to the line for minimal friction in the guides, impressive shooting characteristics and a quiet lift-off from the water surface

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!
