Ridge Lines
When Airflo first released their Ridge lines in 2006, it was a drastic new concept. To actually change the cosmetic makeup of the flyline surface from the baby smooth flatness of traditional lines past seemed like a risk at the time. However the performance benefits were immense--making the line hugely popular, and just a year later our main competitor hit the floor with their own (albeit noisier) break from tradition. Since the original Ridge Line concept, Airflo added their Power Core and supple technology to the mix resulting in memory-free performance and better energy transfer.
Ridge Supple Tactical Trout
Utilizing the original Tactical Trout taper developed by Rene Harrop, the new Supple technology improves the original beyond belief in cold conditions. The easy flexible coating helps maintain ultra sharp loops and smoother casts. With the ultra low friction Ridged surface and low stretch power core, the line generates incredible speed to put your fly in the zone regardless of weather conditions.
Ridge Rangefinder Distance
Manufactured with the regular Ridge coating, the 65' head of the new distance taper combines seamlessly with the Power Core technology to provide incredible stability through the cast. This is the line for long mends and long casts. With a color change from head to running line, it's easy to guage the correct head length for maximum distance.
Ridge Supple Impact
Whether your preferred technique is indicator nymphing, punching large dries into the wind or pitching your 'hopper dropper' into that killer crease - the Ridge Supple Impact is the line for you. Based on Airflo's hugely successful Nymph taper, this line is a capable performer and favorite of many of our staff when 'one line fits all' is necessary. The Power Core gives high energy transfer and helps set hooks at long range.
Ridge Supple Technical
We couldn't introduce a new coating technology without applying it to one of our all time favorite taper designs, the Delta. With a long front taper and delicate tip, it lends itself well to those tricky presentations, now made all the more stealthy with Airflo's new Ridge Supple coating. A great technical trout line, the low stretch core helps it double up as a great single hand Spey line.
