The Ridge 2.0 Streamer Shovel Head from Airflo is a classic among fly lines with a sink tip and has proven itself in many different situations! Whether in fast water with deep pools for trout or in the canal for pike, zander & co. - with this line you won't be fishing on the surface! Thanks to a sink tip, it brings your fly to depth quickly and is still very comfortable to cast
The unique thing about this line is the 30 ft super fast sinking tip. Once down, it stays down! The running line is floating, which simplifies handling when mending and drifting.
This line is equipped with Airflos Ridge 2.0 technology, i.e. the coating is grooved parallel to the fly line. This reduces friction in the rings and the line shoots better through the rings. The line is also easier to grip when stripping and setting the hook. The running line also features the popular Superflo technology, which has excellent swimming behaviour. For us, this is one of the best sinking lines for streamers - regardless of the target 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!
