Airflo Superflow WF7ST6 6′ Slow Int. Tip Fly Line, Dark Grey ／ Heron Grey
The Airflo Superflow WF7ST6 6′ Slow Intermediate Tip Fly Line is a specialized fly line designed for precise presentations in various fishing conditions. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
Key Specifications:
– Model: WF7ST6 (Weight Forward, 7-weight, Slow Intermediate Tip, 6′ sink tip)
– Length: 6-foot slow-sinking intermediate tip (followed by a floating running line)
– Color: Dark Grey / Heron Grey (low-vis for stealth)
– Core: Airflo’s Super-DRI coating (hydrophobic, stays slick in cold/wet conditions)
– Technology: Superflow taper (smooth turnover, reduced memory, improved casting)
Best Uses:
– Slow Intermediate Tip: The 6′ clear intermediate tip sinks slowly (~1.0–1.5 IPS), making it ideal for:
– Stillwaters (trout, grayling)
– Shallow streams or spring creeks
– Delicate presentations where a full sink line is too aggressive
– Floating Running Line: Easier line control and mending than full-sink lines.
– Stealthy Approach: The dark grey/heron grey color helps avoid spooking fish in clear water.
Why Choose This Line?
– Super-DRI Coating: Resists water absorption, reducing drag and improving floatation.
– Low Memory: Stays supple in cold weather.
– Versatility: Great for nymphing, wet flies, or small streamers when fish are suspended just below the surface.
Compatibility:
– Rod: Best paired with a 7-weight fly rod (medium-fast to fast action for optimal turnover).
– Leader: Use a 7–9 ft tapered leader (or shorter for streamers).
If you’re fishing lakes or slow-moving rivers where fish are holding just subsurface, this line is an excellent choice for a controlled, subtle presentation. Would you like recommendations for flies or techniques to pair with it?
