Hello
Anyone uses this line? what can you tell me about it? I need a #5 line, DT floating, especially for fishing chub in Eastern Europe's rivers. You have to cast some 10 yards distance and need an allround, everyday fly line. is this it?
Thanks

i want to use it only on rivers, so I guess that won't be a problem
Hi there
I purchased a wf4f approx 2 1/2 years ago,
and used it primarily for still water chironomiding. I found the line to be a great floater and very slick going thru the guides.
I must say I never noticed any kind of problem with recoils but I'm constantly adjusting for wind-drift anyway. ( The joys of belly-boating )
I just got some for my 8wt, it came highly recommended.

I fish with this line on two or three of my rods now and absolutely love it. Great slickness, clean shooting, excellent flotation, etc. I also REALLY like their Chalkstream Platinum, which is app. .5 line wt "heavy". These guys are rapidly becoming my favorite line company!

well, it finally reached to me from the UK, and I totally love it. great line, I will buy only this brand from now on
I have been using the Airflo lines for a few years now. I have the river and stream series on my 6wt and it works great. Floats very high and is slick.
Last year I put the new 40 plus line on my 8wt Sage XP. This line turned my rod into a cannon. It never felt with my regular 8 wt line like the rod was fully loaded. The 40 plus line has a heavier head for the new fast action rods and it works.
I will be only using Airflo from my experience so far.
BTW, I have been lurking here for ever it seems with only a few posts. I think its time to get more involved. This is a great site with a wealth of information.

You bet it is, I am from Romania and heard of it long time ago http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

I'm sorry but airflo floating lines are the worst I have tried.
They were giving the polyfuse away free in a british fly-fishing monthly magazine and now they are selling for 30 uk pounds (60 US dollars!)
Their sinkers are decent especially their delta taper which is a cheaper alternative to a TT. But I'd stay well clear of the floaters if I were you.
Alcedo,
What troubles have you had or heard about with the floating lines?
