Hi chaps, considering buying one of these lines for my sea trout fishing, anyone use this line, can I enquire if the low stretch line is a problem bumping fish off, also ,would you agree with the line spec. ( not heavy or light for the spec.) Obliged for any help with this querey, thanks Pip.

I dont have that line but i do have some shooting head running line with the same core. It feels more limp than airflow lines without that core. As for bumping a fish off, i will tell you if i ever catch a salmon on the DHer ;D
Email airflow, they will tell you the exact wt of the head.

Hi Pip,
yes, have used them a fair bit, and they're nice enough lines. If you've got a #8 rod, then I would probably advise you to go for the #8/9 line, as it will load easier over the short distances covered in most river situations. If you've got a #7 rod, then go for the #7/8.
The line itself won't make you lose more fish, that's more down to the rod than the line in my opinion. However, the line would help you in detecting the more delicate takes.
Personally, I would opt for the 40+ lines (extreme), which many now incorporate the sixth sense technology into the running line.
TT.

Thanks for that T.T. The rod iwant the line for is an old Hardy Graphite Delux 10' 6" with a screw in extension, use it as a small D/ hander, a bit dated now, but i love it to bits, line rating 7/8.

No problem at all Pip. What size rivers are you fishing? If they're not massive, and casts beyond 20 metres would be rare, then I would probably still tell you to go for the #8/9 line - especially since that's probably quite a slow actioned rod, and for the ease with the double handed function.
TT.
