Airflo Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Power Taper Fly Line Floating
Saltwater fly fishing often requires a quick reaction to passing fish. Even in the most hectic situations, a precise presentation is the key to success. With these situations in mind, Airflo developed the Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Power Taper Fly Line. It is a truly powerful floating line with a compact design. It has a relatively short head that creates outstanding and extremely strong casting properties. Due to a high weight distribution towards the front of the line, it will load your rod quickly. This enables a successful presentation within seconds – even in windy conditions. Further, it will easily transport large and weighted flies. This provides a great amount of flexibility, which allows you to adapt to the circumstances that you are facing – no matter what. It is equipped with the so-called Ridge 2.0 Technology. This is a special surface structure with grooves running parallel to the line. This structure enables significantly reduced friction, impressive shooting properties and silent lifting from the surface. In fact, this updated version of the Ridge Technology is much smoother and it is very quiet while casting. In addition, it has a so-called “Haul Zone” with a length of 3 m. This is a slightly thicker section between running line and head for improved line control while casting and while fishing. Furthermore, it provides a direct power transmission and it noticeably stabilizes the head while shooting. Combined with a very smooth coating, a thin running line and the Ridge 2.0 Technology, this creates outstanding shooting properties for an impressive casting distance. Last but not least, it is more durable compared to conventional PVC lines due to its innovative PU coating.
In short: The versatile Airflo Superflo Ridge 2.0 Flats Power Taperreally deserves its name since it is a truly powerful fly line. This workhorse will cast everything you might need – whether a small crab or a large baitfish pattern. Therefore, it is a great choice for targeting saltwater predators such as bonefish, permit or tarpon!
Details:
- Modern WF floating fly line for fishing in saltwater
- Relatively short head for powerful casting properties
- Relatively high weight distribution towards the front of the line for a quick loading of the rod
- Allows great casting distances with a minimum number of false casts
- “Haul Zone” with a length of 3 m – a slightly thicker section between running line and head for improved line control while casting and while fishing
- Ridge 2.0 Technology: Special surface structure with grooves running parallel to the line for reduced friction, impressive shooting properties and silent lifting from the surface
- Climate Control: The special PU coating allows fishing with a memory free line and smooth loops even on extremely hot days

Established back in 1990, the American 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!
