Airflo Streamer Max Ridge II Short Fly Line

The always popular Streamer Max - Upgraded to the Ridge II technology.

From Manic: Customizable is the best way to describe this new addition to the Airflo family of fly lines. Every fly rod and angler combination has an optimal individual feel, and the new Streamer Max with its level sinking tip section allows you to tune it to your style and needs by cutting it to the optimal length. We recommend cutting it six inches at a time until you have your perfect fit.

Built on our famous Power Core it consists of a level T-series sink tip that transitions to an intermediate belly section and is backed up by a floating ridged running line. The best of all worlds rolled into one killer sink tip fly line. Looped in the back of the line for easy connection to your backing.

These are a great advancement on Teeny's original T Series lines. Firstly the Airflo heads sink faster than anything on the market, their slim profile means even in fast current they get down quick. At the back of the head the intermediate section is a lot more durable than anything else I've seen, what's more it makes casting a lot smoother. Then the floating running line is great for deep wading as you don't need to drag the running line to the surface before you make a cast. I've added these into the New Zealand range as I think these are the best lines for fishing big wetflies in our rivers. From big rivers such as the Tongariro for rainbows or the Canterbury rivers for sea run browns, then these are the lines. All you need to do is match them up to your rod weight. In Simple terms the 190 grain is for a #6 rod, the 225 grain is for a #7 rod etc etc.

I keep a reel with one of these in my bag when I go back country fishing. I normally nymph my way up the river for the day and then on my way back to the car switch to the depthfinder and swing woolly buggers through the deeper holes on my way back........it's surprising to see what you've missed for the day.
