由 Kevin Klein The Airflo Salmon/Steelhead 5-Foot Polyleader Kit is a versatile sinking tip system designed for fly fishing, particularly for salmon and steelhead. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
– Length: 5 feet (ideal for turning over large flies in heavy currents).
– Material: Polyurethane-coated sinking tips (more durable than traditional braided cores).
– Sink Rates: Includes multiple densities (likely Floating, Intermediate, Slow Sink, Fast Sink, Extra Fast Sink).
– Compatibility: Works with Airflo Ridge Running Lines or other welded loops.
– Pre-Looped: Easy attachment to fly line or leader.
– Low Memory: Resists coiling for smoother casting.
Benefits:
✔ Durable – Polyurethane coating resists abrasion.
✔ Versatile – Multiple sink rates for different water conditions.
✔ Smooth Turnover – Helps cast bulky flies efficiently.
✔ Saltwater & Freshwater Safe – Corrosion-resistant.
Best For:
– Salmon & Steelhead (great for swinging flies in rivers).
– Spey & Switch Rods (popular among two-handed casters).
– Deep or Fast Water (sinking tips get flies down quickly).
New Kit Includes:
– Typically 3-5 Polyleaders in varying sink rates.
– May include a storage case or organizer.
Alternatives:
– Rio MOW Tips (similar but with braided core).
– Scientific Anglers Sonar Sink Tips (different taper options).
