Tropical Saltwater

To many fly anglers, tropical flyfishing is the grail of the sport. The hot humid air, crystal clear water and the immense variety of available fish make it every fly angler's wet-fly dream. The very same heat that makes it so appealing often makes it a difficult endeavor for fly fishing lines. Traditionally you need a stiffer coating material in order to withstand the heat--otherwise you end up casting sticky spaghetti. Often times, those stiffer coatings make the line feel like you're casting cable.

Enter Airflo's Ridge Tropical Saltwater lines.

Ridge Clear Tropical

Finally, a clear saltwater fly line that takes full advantage of Airflo's Ridge technology. Built on a low stretch monofilament core the Ridge Clear Tropical has a coating optimized to perform at higher temperatures. Ridges significantly improve shoot ability without excess line noise in the guides and significantly reduce tangles on the deck. When wet the ridges disappear in the water for an incredible low optical density, making the line virtually invisible to your target species.

Ridge Clear Tip Tropical

A clear tip fly line with one major difference--the tip FLOATS. This may sound minor to the uninitiated, but having a ClearTip fly line you can lay out in ambush without having your tip sink is a godsend, especially when working to intercept "tricky" laid up fish. The 12' ClearTip blends seamlessly into a stealth mid vis main belly and running line. This belly color allows you and your guide to track the swim of the fly without causing concern from our silver finned friends. Ridged for incredible shoot ability, our ClearTip Tropical line will become the go to saltwater fly line for all stealthy flats fishing situations.

Ridge GT Floating

When we were first asked to develop this line, we asked ourselves why anyone would need a 50lb test core in a flyline--our testers in the Seychelles said they just did. The "hit and hold" style of GT fishing on the edge of a coral reef is fast and furious, putting a flyline under extreme pressure as you try to stop these bad boys of the salt trying to disappear with your flyline.
