FAQ
What makes the AST PLUS slickness additive different from other fly line technologies?
The AST PLUS additive reduces friction during casting, allowing for longer casts and improved durability compared to standard fly lines.
Does the floating texture on the tip section affect how the line performs in windy conditions?
The floating texture helps maintain dry fly flotation, which is beneficial in variable wind conditions, though it does not directly improve wind resistance.
Is this line suitable for both dry fly and nymph fishing?
Yes, the floating texture on the tip section makes it ideal for dry fly fishing, and the mid-length head provides good performance for nymphing as well.

This fly line casts smoothly and consistently. The floating texture keeps my dry flies up longer, which is a big plus in windy conditions. The mid-length head makes mending easier during long casts.
Simon Coleman –
I’ve tried several lines with similar claims, but this one actually delivers on the longer cast and durability. The AST PLUS additive makes a noticeable difference in performance.
Oliver Ferguson –
Good for trout fishing in open water. The floating tip helps with dry fly retention. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the casting performance.
Andrew MacDonald –
The line feels slick and responsive. I can cast it over 100 feet with ease and it holds up well after repeated use. Great for long-distance fishing.
