Ex-racing driver and Airflo Pro Staffer, Masahara Katsumata
is always looking for an edge so when he suggested we look
at tyre technology for the next development in flylines
it really had us excited. We had a good hunch what the effect
of running ridges along the entire line would have on reducing
friction and improving shootability needless to
say Masa was right.
The concept is simplicity itself - its unique ridged
design reduces the surface area in contact with the rod
guides, consequently friction levels are vastly improved
compared to any regular round flyline.
Testing confirmed this and highlighted how the lines
grooved surface actually held water during the cast and
acts as a superior lubrication system regardless of conditions.
Team this innovation with record levels of Teflon® in
our outer coating and you have the slickest line weve
ever manufactured. Made from our unique polyurethane coatings,
each ridge is incredibly tough for long term durability.
