The Airflo Spey Superflo Max Scandi Compact Float is a specialized shooting head designed for Spey casting, particularly with single-handed or light two-handed rods. Here are the key details of the 390-grain, 29-foot head in Sky Blue:
Features & Specifications:
– Grain Weight: 390 grains (ideal for medium to large single-handed rods or light two-handed setups).
– Head Length: 29 feet (compact Scandi taper for smooth, controlled casts).
– Line Type: Floating (Superflo Max coating for low friction and long casts).
– Color: Sky Blue (high visibility on the water).
– Core: Advanced core for durability and consistent performance.
– Coating: Superflo Max technology reduces friction for longer, smoother casts.
Best Uses:
– Rod Compatibility: Pairs well with rods rated for 390–420 grains (e.g., 7–9 wt single-handed or 3–5 wt two-handed rods).
– Fishing Style: Ideal for Scandi-style Spey casting, swinging flies for salmon, steelhead, or trout.
– Conditions: Works best in moderate to large rivers where distance and presentation matter.
Why Choose This Line?
– Smooth Casting: The Scandi taper loads rods efficiently for easy aerial mends and controlled presentations.
– Low Memory: Airflo’s polyurethane coating resists coiling for better handling.
– Durable: More resistant to UV and abrasion than PVC lines.
Recommended Setup:
– Backing: 20–30 lb Dacron or gel-spun.
– Running Line: A thin, low-stretch line (e.g., Airflo Ridge Running Line).
– Leader/Tippet: 10–15 ft tapered leader (e.g., 8–12 lb for steelhead).
