Straightening a Coiled Fly Line A client of mine showed us a neat trick on-river in NZ! Stand in the water and let the current pull your fly-line downstream until your maximum casting distance is reached. With the point your rod tip about 1 meter above the water surface, rotate your rod and reel counter-clockwise for 10 revolutions (lefties go clockwise). This will remove the natural coiling in the fly-line that occurs through casting and you will now cast much more efficiently and more accurately. Repeat this process two or three times throughout the angling day. Even great casters create twists in their lines when they throw roll casts or change of direction casts. |

The Airflo Ridgelines generate more line speed than any other lines on the market. There is nothing like them for casting big lines. Even casting into the wind with a couple of tungsten nymphs is a piece of cake.

For precise turnover and efficient energy transfer, you'd be hard pressed to find a better presentation line for Kiwi conditions than the Airflo Platinum Chalkstream.
