The very first thing I noticed when I used an Airflo Ridge line was that I had more tangles than I ever had before. Of course my casting and line handling are not perfect. I easily had 2x more tangles with it than with any of my other lines. In my limited time for fishing, I would rather not spend it undoing knots. I try to improve my casting and line handling all the time, but I saw no advantage at all using the Ridge line over the "standard" lines I've used for years. I really enjoy getting a fly out to whatever target I choose, and not stressing about keeping my hauls in perfect plane with my rod etc... FYI I won the line in a give-away, and I'm glad I didn't spend my hard-earned $$$ on it. I haven't seen it to be superior in casting, mending, or hook setting as compared to any of my other Cortland, SA, Rio, or Cabela's lines. It's a GOOD line, but I don't see where it is significantly better than others.
