Airflo Tech

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 the planet. ten good reasons why they’re better for fishing, too:

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 line - eliminating 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.

True, our lines are better for the planet. But we have ten good reasons why 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!
