由 Aaron Honaker The NEW AIRFLO SUPERFLO RIDGE 2.0 FLATS POWER TAPER WF-12-F 12 WT FLOATING FLY LINE is a specialized fly line designed for saltwater flats fishing, particularly when targeting large, powerful species like tarpon, permit, and bonefish. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Key Features:
1. Power Taper Design – Engineered for quick loading and long, accurate casts, even in windy conditions. The aggressive front taper helps turn over large flies efficiently.
2. Ridge Technology – The textured surface reduces friction in the guides, increasing casting distance and reducing line stick.
3. Floating (F) – A full-floating line ideal for shallow-water applications where mending and line control are critical.
4. Weight Forward (WF-12-F) – A Weight Forward (WF) taper in 12-weight (WT), optimized for heavy-duty saltwater use.
5. SuperFlo Coating – Airflo’s proprietary coating resists UV damage, saltwater corrosion, and retains flexibility in cold conditions.
6. Durable Construction – Built to withstand abrasive conditions like coral, rocks, and sand.
