The Airflo CCT Tungsten Level Fly Line offers the ultimate versatility for spey anglers looking to fine-tune their dredging systems. Designed to be cut to specific lengths, this bulk tungsten material allows you to create custom sink tips that match the exact grain window of your rod and the depth requirements of your local river. It is an essential tool for Skagit casters who need to get flies down rapidly in heavy currents and prefer the reliability of creating their own loop connections.

 

Features

Polyurethane Construction - Unlike PVC alternatives, the Airflo proprietary polyurethane coating forms a molecular bond when heat-welded, creating seamless and incredibly strong loops that withstand heavy abuse. This material is chemically inert, making it impervious to DEET, fuel, and UV rays, ensuring your custom tips remain durable without cracking over multiple seasons.

Low Stretch Power Core - Built on a braided core with minimal stretch, this line transmits energy efficiently during the D-loop and forward cast. This direct connection also provides immediate feedback when a fish touches the fly and improves hook-setting power, even when a significant amount of line is submerged in deep water.

 

Uses

Custom Tip Fabrication - This product is specifically engineered for anglers who want to build a modular system of interchangeable tips for two-handed rods. By cutting the level line to your desired length, you can create tips ranging from T-7 to T-18 that balance perfectly with your Skagit head, ensuring the turnover of heavy intruders or leeches is smooth and consistent.

Deep Water Swinging - The high-density tungsten composition allows this material to sink faster than standard wire-weighted lines, making it ideal for targeting winter steelhead or chinook salmon in deep pools. It cuts through surface tension and turbulence immediately, keeping your fly in the strike zone for the majority of the swing rather than just at the very end.

 

Temperature / Conditions

This line is formulated to perform exceptionally well in cold water environments typical of winter steelhead or Atlantic salmon fishing. The coating remains supple in freezing air and water temperatures, preventing the memory coiling that often plagues other sinking materials and hinders casting distance.

 

Taper / Weight / Design

Level Profile - The line features a consistent diameter from end to end, which allows for simple weight calculations based on the length of the cut. There is no taper, ensuring that the mass is distributed evenly for powerful turnover.

Density Options - Available in various densities measured in grains per foot (e.g., T-7, T-10, T-14, T-18). The diameter increases with the weight rating, and the lines are color-coded—such as black for T-14 or grey for T-10—allowing for instant identification of sink rates when on the water.
