Airflo Skagit Switch Fly Line
Airflo on Airflo Skagit Switch Fly Line
The need had become blatantly obvious - a shorter head to match the now extremely popular Switch rods. But the "right" line to match these versatile tools had been unavailable, until now. The new Airflo Skagit Switch Fly Line hits the mark dead on. The Airflo Skagit Switch Fly Lines were designed to load fast action switch rods in tight casting situations, move 10' to 12' of sink tip, and reach out to hit the "zone". Looped at both ends for ease of use, the front loop on the Airflo Skagit Switch Fly Line has the line size clearly marked for easy identification. Couple the Airflo Skagit Switch Fly Line with either the 20lb or 30lb Ridged Running line and you have the pinnacle of switch casting setups.

- Fly Line Length: 19ft

Leland on Airflo Fly Lines
Airflo is a stand-out among fly line manufacturers in several ways, but
one of Airflo's defining characteristics is their use of polyurethane
(PU) instead of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to build their fly lines.
What’s more, Airflo fly lines are built on incredibly low-stretch cores –
6% or less.
Leland on Airflo
With a huge following in their native UK and across Europe, Airflo is
undoubtedly one of the preeminent names in fly line manufacturing. Since
Airflo's start in the late 1980s under UK angler Paul Burgess, Airflo
has stayed at the forefront of fly line design and development, with a
slew of patents to show their industry leadership. Whether you’ve been
fly fishing Airflo for years, or have just started to catch wind of
their virtues, you should know that Airflo fly lines are hugely
impressive, and Leland is thrilled to have the opportunity to carry
them.

Only Airflo fly lines are made from UV resistant super tough
polyurethane. There are no liquids used in the manufacture of Airflo fly
lines and therefore they last longer than PVC lines. With dry lubricant
in the outer coating, Airflo fly lines stay cleaner than other fly
lines and don’t require as much care as PVC fly lines.
Airflo on Airflo
Airflo is the fly fishing world's leading manufacturer of solvent free
fly lines and is responsible for developing a series of innovations
unparalleled by any other fly line manufacturer. Whilst Airflo may not
have invented the fly line, innovation has been a keystone at every
stage in Airflo's development, being the originators of Polyurethane
coatings, creating the first welded loops, developing low stretch cores
and even the world's first density compensated fly lines. More
recently, we at Airflo have developed an advanced range of fly lines
with Ridged coatings that reduce surface friction and improve
shootability. The final result is what we believe to be the world's
most advanced range of fly lines and, judging by the bandwagon Airflo
has created with our continuous stream of innovation, most of our
competitors would seem to agree.
