There are no more information on the website about this new line
-
Yes but on discount price thats why i think they are discontinued.

gooner started following tpe of fly line for swinging streamers in the current. and New airflo cold saltwater fly line
-
It seems airflo discontinued the old cold salwater lines and introduced this one into the lineup. Any opinions?
-
I contacted with them. They told me that all of their sinking sniper 4 seasons lines have intermediate running lines. I had this question because if i remember correctly the old intermediate sniper lines ( not the 4 seasons) had floating running line.
-
One question please because i cant find this information on airflo website. The running line on airflo sniper intermediate and sink 3 is of the same density or floating?

I fish mainly for seabass in the mediteranean. So you say that a F/sinkt tip line is better for fishing the current that a full sinking line ? -
When you want to swing streamers in the current and you want your fly to go really deep so you canot do it with a floating line and weighted fly, what type of line you prefer to use? A full sinking line( intermediate, or triple desity or sink tip with intermediate running line) or maybe it is better to go with a sinking tip with floating running line so you mend the floating portion for better line control?

Nice. All drift presentations i saw in the internet was standing across the curent and i wondered why not trying just drift the fly and standing ON the current?
-
what do you mean by -tumbling-?

did it produce?
-
You mean that when the fly is aproximately quartering downcurrent deaddrifting and just before start swinging you release line so it continues to dead drift?

have anyone tried this technique and if yes did it worked for stripers? Just stand with your back on the current and let the current take the streamer downstream while you pill of line from your reel and feeding through the guides with small twiches just enough to have the least amount of slack so the streamer is drifting with zero drag.

noobie question about swinging and dead drifting streamers
gooner replied to gooner's topic in Fly Fishing
Well i saw the threads about dead drift and it is really big and confusing because some opinions are totally different. I had in my mind the thing you said. dead drift is when a fly drifts with the flow with no lilne tension and swing is when the line is tight. at the older thread a lot of people thought that swinging a fly without stripping even a little is a dead drift but its not. The correct name is -drag free drift-for me . And in one simple cast you can have dead drift AND swing later when the fly comes downcurrent and the line comes tight... -
noobie question about swinging and dead drifting streamers
gooner replied to gooner's topic in Fly Fishing
Hello and thanks for the reply! So when the fly and the line are upstream and you have some slack we speak about dead drift and when it comes quarter downcurrent and gets tight we speak about swing? So its pretty the same thing but in different angles?
