AirFlo Tactical Steelhead Spey Head Fly Line: AirFlo Spey & Switch Fishing Fly Lines

AirFlo Tactical Steelhead Spey Head Fly Line.

This Spey specialty fly line from Airflo is a dandy - and we are gonna tell you just why.

An AirFlo Tactical Steelhead Spey Head Fly Line excels at sink-tip fishing. The Airflo Scandi compact fly line is a fantastic fly line for dry line spey fishing. All this we know. Here is the dilema. Floating tips and attached to Skagit compact spey heads do not provide a finesse delivery. More than very light sink tips on a Scandi Compact spey head will not unfurl with any sort of grace we might try to display in our spey casting.

Now enter the Airflo Tactical Steelhead Spey Heead fly line: This is the "tweener" Spey fly line capable of doing a decent job of chucking all but the heaviest sink tips and also delivering a dry damp steelhead fly in a manner that won't scare the jeepers out of a steelhead laying in a tailout on the North Umpqua.

The taper of the AirFlo Tactical Steelhead Spey Head Fly Line is, gee whiz, more moderate than that of the Skagit Compact but more authoritative than that ofthe Scandi Compact fly lines by our friends and fishing accomplices at Airflo. Thusly, it will do the job with both sink tips, moderately hefty Intruders, and yes, dry flies.

One side thought, based on our obsession with salmon fishing. We have fished the AirFlo Tactical Steelhead Spey Head Fly Line as a shooting head, without the floating tip, as an overhead shooting head tossing Comets and Boss flies fishing for King salmon in conditions when the fish did not need a deep fly presentation. The AirFlo Tactical Steelhead Spey Head Fly Line was an excellend single hand overhead fly line on a 9' flyrod and also roll cast like a champ with bead-chain eye salmon flies.

Hummmmmm. Nice adaptability, Airflo! This ururururu has a 30 lb core, so it was tough enough for our king salmon leaders.
