ArcticSilver MD Long Balance Fly Line Intermediate
The so-called MD Long Balance from the Norwegian manufacturer ArcticSilver combines all advantages of a long belly with very appealing casting properties. Further, it combines the most advanced line technologies with an innovative design, which makes it extremely easy to cast – just like a fly line with a compact head.
As its name implies, it is perfectly balanced. Therefore – according to its developers – this line seems to defy gravity. Its truly outstanding casting performance is based on a long head, which allows incredible casting distances and a precise presentation. Further, its perfect weight distribution provides outstanding casting control. Since it offers powerful casting properties and a strong turnover, it will easily deliver bigger flies – especially in the higher line classes. In addition, due to its Micro Diameter Design (MD), it has a very thin running line for minimum friction while casting, very high line speeds, great shooting properties and an impressive casting distance. Last but not least, it is built on a braided low-stretch core for a direct contact to your fly and successful long-distance hook sets – even at maximum casting distance. Therefore, this intermediate version is a very versatile streamer line that is suitable for a lot of different scenarios.
In short: The ArcticSilver MD Long Balance Intermediate Fly Line is a great choice for fishing larger streams, lakes and at the coast – basically for every situation that requires long casts. It also allows a delicate presentation of bigger flies, which makes this versatile fly line a true all-rounder!

Arctic Silver’s Micro Diameter Design (MD): These fly lines are characterised by an extremely small diameter, and therefore they are much thinner than conventional fly lines! This results in lower friction in the rings, excellent wind cutting, hardly any air resistance when casting and of course more space on the reel. In addition, when you lift these lines off the water, it will cause less spray and noise, which reduces the negative effect on the fish. Further, their core consists of a strong line braid, which is connected to the coating in an extremely durable way.
Please note: Delivered without flies.

First of all, the Norwegian manufacturer ArcticSilver is known for a truly innovative range of fly rods. All of these rods have one unique feature in common: the so-called Free-Flex-System including the Quick-Lock reel seat. This patented design allows the blank to swing inside the handle, which creates outstanding casting and fish fighting properties. In fact, ArcticSilver offers many different models that are suitable for a variety of different fly fishing disciplines – whether casting delicate dry flies for trout or massive streamers for large predators. In addition, ArcticSilver also presents a large selection of modern fly lines that have a very thin diameter due to their so-called Micro Diameter (MD) design. This design allows record-breaking casting distances thanks to minimum friction in the rod guides and hardly any air resistance. In fact, these advantages are not only noticeable in combination with an ArcticSilver fly rod, but also with rods from other manufacturers.
