The Airflo Superflo Max Ridge 2.0 Floating Running Line offers Spey anglers and shooting head enthusiasts a distinct advantage in line management and casting distance. By combining Airflo's ultra-buoyant Superflo coating with their updated Ridge 2.0 texture, this line minimizes friction in the guides while remaining easy to grip in cold, wet hands. It is an ideal choice for anglers looking to maximize shootability without sacrificing the tactile control needed for precise swings and hook sets.
Features
Ridge 2.0 Technology - This distinct textured surface reduces the surface area of the line touching the rod guides, resulting in significantly less friction and longer casts. Unlike older textured lines, the Ridge 2.0 profile is smoother and quieter, providing the shooting benefits of a textured line without the excessive noise or finger burn.
Superflo Coating - Utilizing advanced polyurethane technology, this coating allows for a thinner diameter running line that still floats high on the water surface. The hydrophobic nature of the material repels water, preventing the line from sinking or feeling heavy during the pick-up.
Low Stretch Power Core - Built on a core with only 6% stretch, this running line ensures direct energy transfer during the cast and immediate feedback when a fish strikes. This lack of elasticity improves hook-setting power, particularly at long distances where monofilament might stretch too much.
Uses
Spey and Switch Applications - This running line is specifically engineered to trail behind Skagit and Scandi shooting heads. Its rigidity helps prevent tangling in the stripping basket or the water, while the slick surface ensures the head carries as far as possible on the forward stroke. The texture provides excellent grip, allowing anglers to hold the line securely during the sweep and launch of a cast even with wet gloves.
Line Management Efficiency - The structured coating creates enough stiffness to reduce the coiling often associated with thinner running lines, yet remains supple enough for easy handling. Anglers will appreciate the oversized front loop which allows for rapid head changes, making it easier to adapt to changing water conditions on the fly without re-rigging the entire system.
Temperature / Conditions
Airflo utilizes polyurethane rather than PVC, making this line impervious to cracking and UV degradation across a wide range of temperatures. It remains supple and memory-free in freezing conditions often encountered during winter steelhead seasons, yet maintains enough rigidity to perform well in warmer summer trout environments.
Taper / Weight / Design
Designed as a level running line, the Superflo Max Ridge 2.0 maintains a consistent diameter throughout its length to ensure uniform handling. The line features an oversized welded loop on the front end specifically sized to allow entire shooting head coils to pass through, facilitating quick loop-to-loop connections. The high-contrast color scheme aids in tracking the swing and visualizing line position in low-light conditions.
More Info
- Best for: Steelhead, Salmon, Trout Spey, Shooting Heads
- Loops: Oversized Front Welded Loop
- Sinking/Floating: Floating
