A terrific all-round saltwater line, the Airflo Superflo Max Ridge 2.0 Gulf Redfish fly line has established itself as the tool to use whether in the marsh, or in the grassy flats. It has enough head mass to deliver big flies in a strong wind, yet do so without blowing 'em out of the mud. Now, with Ridge 2.0 SuperFlo Max tech, and Elevate Elite Coating, it is an even finer tool for the job. Quite simply one of the best redfish lines made.....and more.
Ridge 2.0- When Airflo introduced the world’s first textured fly line coating over 15 years ago, their ridged surface got instant recognition for its innovative design. Ridge 2.0 represents a major step forward in line performance, with a smoother Ridge profile that allows greater flexibility, reduced stiffness, no compression, and reduced friction in the guides.When combined with the super low running line diameters of SuperFlo technology, the hybrid performance of these lines is incredible. Reducing line drag in the guides by up to 10% has significantly increased line speed, loading even the fastest fly rods more effectively.
Using an intelligent haul zone eliminates hinging on any ‘over extended’ casts, making the balance and
feel you get with these new lines exceptional. Backing capacity is also increased as the lower than standard running line diameter increases available volume on the spool. The new Ridge profile not only increases line speed, but with its less aggressive ridges there are less opportunities to pick up grit or dirt. Line noise is almost non existent compared with any other textured line and the durability of our PVC free technology is legendary.
NEW Elevate Elite- Airflo's latest fly line coating technology, developed by our in-house R&D team to deliver the highest levels of buoyancy and suppleness. This advanced formula gives our floating lines permanent buoyancy, exceptional durability, UV resistance, and reduced risk of cracking over time. Elevate Elite is featured across our entire range of floating Ridge 2.0 lines.
NEW SuperFlo MAX- Thanks to a completely new material formulation, each and every Superflo line moves through the extruder with less resistance than ever. This allows for seamlessly smooth, flawless diameter transitions and the ability to produce someof the thinnest, lightest running line in existence. So anglers can pick up more line and cast it further than ever before
Line Tag- Airflo’s Line Marking System is permanently welded into our factory-fitted loops, making it easy for any angler to identify which line and/or tip they’re using. Each label clearly shows the line’s weight and density -a benefit of particular value to anglers utilizing our trusted system of two hand tips, heads and running lines.
Micro Loop- Polyurethane is a true thermoplastic, so it can be semi-liquified (using heat) and fused back together to form the strongest loops in the business. What’s more, Airflo loops seamlessly transition back into the line tip/running line - eliminating the “hinge point” so characteristic of PVC loops. This achillies heel of PVC lines is a common point of failure.
Power Core- The original low-stretch core. Compared to competitor lines often testing out at 20% - 25% stretch, Airflo lines only stretch 6%. And for the angler, this statistic means everything: Improved hooksets, far greater casting control and efficiency, and superior take detection - all ultimately yielding increased angling productivity. Not to mention fun.
100% PVC Free- We’ve always been PVC free. And with all the benefits of Polyurethane, we’ll never change. More environmentally responsible than PVC. Greater resistance to UV degradation, sunscreen, DEET, fuel and solvents than PVC. No leaching of harmful contaminants. Safely and completely recyclable. In Airflo's book, Polyurethane wins, hands down.
