Aiflo Ridge Clear Lines?

Post by JJH »

I just saw Airflo's Clear Tropical fly lines at my local tackle shop. Any reviews? Pros/Cons? I'm looking to do some bonefishing, are the clarity and low-floating attributes of the line worth it's low visibility to myself, the angler?

I am not a fan of clear lines for sight fishing. Since the line blends right in to the water, I often feel lost and have only a vague idea of where my fly is--that's something that will really kill success rates when sight fishing. The only time I don't mind so much is when using a fly big enough to easily see during the retrieve, like a charteuese tarpon Toad or other similar streamer. I have no experience with that particular Airflo line, but I'd steer clear (no pun intended) :big grin:
