Isn’t it time you mend your

For nearly 70 years, the majority of fly lines have been made from PVC – a naturally rigid plastic that requires the use of plasticizers to begins breaking down - leaching plasticizers into the environment and contaminating you and the waters you fish. Once it has shed lethal, bioaccumulating toxins. Consequently, it’s virtually impossible to safely recycle a PVC line. All of which is why Airflo never uses PVC.

make PVC lines functional. These plasticizers are anything but a permanent part of a PVC line. You see, from the minute it’s made, a PVC line enough of these, it becomes prone to cracking, even failure. If that’s not enough, as it decomposes, PVC is known to release Dioxins - a group of Instead, our lines are made from Polyurethane - an inert, stable, fully recyclable material that requires no plasticizers and lasts far longer than PVC.

New Polyleader+ We’ve built upon our time tested Polyleader by adding a tippet ring and color coding every leader for quick and easy identification. It would have been easy enough to stop there. But our wonderful Welsh designer-diehards would just not let it go. They insisted upon finessing the lengths, tapers and cores of these already damned fine fishing instruments. The result? A leader unlike any you’ve ever fished before. $18

November 1, 2020, two versions of these fine leaders will be available to all our retailers - the 6.5’ Trout and the 8.5’ Trout. Thanks to their ability to turn over exceptionally long tippets, these leaders provide anglers unprecedented versatility and serve a wide range of angling tactics. During 2021, Airflo will bring a full spectrum of Polyleader+ to the market - including leaders specifically designed for Salmon/Steelhead, Bonefish, Bass/Pike, toothy predators and last but not least, light Trout. Each will be available in a wide range of species-specific densities as well.

The new, factory-attached tippet ring makes it easy to attach a wide variety of tippet sizes and lengths while preserving your leader, and significantly increasing its lifespan.

Anglers will appreciate the color-coded leader loops that make it easy to identify each of our different density leaders.

“Polyleaders have mass without stiffness. And this allows my leader to truly act like an extension of the lineproviding thistledown landings even in impossible conditions. My favorite light trout 8’ floating Polyleader has certainly contributed to the catch of many a picky customer. The new Polyleader+ takes it to the next level.”

- Gareth Jones, Airflo Director of Sales and Marketing

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 some of the thinnest, lightest running line in existence. So anglers can pick up more line and cast it further than ever before.

Fly line compression is a concept rarely discussed by other line manufacturers. But the ability to strategically control and vary the hardness or softness of a line along its entire length hugely impacts the amount of energy required to form a loop and generate line speed. Zone Tech allows us mastery of this key variable, maximizing the performance of every inch of line. The Airflo Ridge - the world’s first textured fly line. Its genius lies in its very inception. You see, unlike most textured lines, the Ridge’s texture actually runs parallel to the line itself. As a result, these remarkable lines maintain suppleness across their length, and produce far less noise and rod guide friction than their competitors. All without compromising shootability.

True,our lines are better for ten good reasons why Total Density Control = Airflo’s unique ability to precisely control and vary a line’s density at any given point. TDC allows us to precisely dictate a line’s buoyancy and/or variable sink rate in “real time” as the line moves through the production system. Consequently, we’re able to develop lines with a wide range of flotation and “sink shapes.” 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.

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 our book, Polyurethane wins, hands down.

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 lineeliminating the “hinge point” so characteristic of PVC loops. This achillies heel of PVC lines is a common point of failure. 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. Of particular importance to anglers throwing heavy tips and heads, the FlexiLoop is the connection that actually keeps you connected. No product failure here - thanks to a separate PU sleeve that adds bulletproof structural integrity. The FlexiLoop is the gold standard of loops - particularly in the demanding world of two hand angling.

the planet. But we have they’re better for fishing,too: Yet another benefit of Polyurethane is its natural ability to adapt to a wide range of environmental conditions. PU stiffens far less in the cold than PVC and is much less prone to wilting in tropical heat than PVC lines. Consequently, we’re uniquely able to engineer lines suited to the widest of environmental conditions. And again, Polyurethane wins!

Richard Wothers

Airflo Production Director

Gareth Jones

Airflo Director of Sales & Marketing

Richard grew up fishing the rivers and lakes of Wales, and playing cricket and rugby. He studied zoology at Liverpool University specializing in freshwater biology and fisheries. After graduating, he worked for the Welsh Fisheries Department radio- tracking salmon on the river Usk and monitoring salmon recruitment on the river Wye. In 1988, Richard joined Airflo as a Marketing Assistant before moving over to product development, and ultimately running Airflo’s production facility. It’s fair to say that Richard can be credited with more “firsts” than perhaps anyone in the history of fly line production. He has pioneered the techniques required to produce fly lines in multiple layers - allowing the ability to progressively vary both line density and material hardness throughout the length of a line. Richard has also created many of the breakthroughs that now define m odern fly lines. These include the welded loop, double density heads, triple d ensity heads and the first commercially available multi-tip line. One of Richard’s inventions even hangs in the National S cience Museum in London - the Airflo Ridge line - the first modern fly line engineered with surface modifications to improve casting performance. And there’s one more brainchild of Richard’s you need to know about: Airflo Polyleaders. Available in seven different densities, they’re not so much leaders as they are seamless extensions of your line. Nothing transmits the energy of a cast as well as an Airflo Polyleader. Cast one and you’ll thank Richard for being the mad scientist he is.

Jobs-Wozniak. Lennon- McCartney. Holmes-Watson.

Those guys got nuthin’on these two dudes. The idyllic trout streams of Wales flowed through his youth. And every day after school, his homework took second seat to pursuing their residents. Soon, Gareth began fishing the region’s lakes in search of monsters reportedly lurking t here. Along the way, Gareth turned into a fly casting machine. At 18 he won his very fi rst competition - the Welsh National Championships. Shortly thereafter, he earned a spot on the Welsh National team. Gareth fi shed on the team for many years and even helped take them to two World Championships - including in 2000, when the team fi nished second and Gareth picked up an individual Bronze. For many years, Gareth has also been a member of the highly successful Nymphomaniacs team - the dominant team in the United Kingdom during his tenure. His extensive experience w ith competitive angling has had huge impact on Airflo product design. And thanks to the river Usk having flowed through his backyard for the past 30 years, Gareth has mastered the technical skills demanded by these highly selective fish. The lessons learned from all this experience can be felt in every Airflo line you cast. Except for the occasional journey to various remote corners of the planet, Gareth’s presence at Airflo has loomed large for the past three decades. This diverse angling pedigree - competitive, technical and exotic - coupled with his close collaboration with Richard and others at Airflo, have been the driving force behind Airflo becoming the respected global brand that it is.
