Product Information

Full details

The Airflo Sixth Sense 2 Fly Line (WF8) is designed for anglers seeking improved casting efficiency and line control, especially from a boat or the bank. Its key benefit lies in enhanced visibility and load identification, facilitating more accurate and powerful casts. A potential caveat for new users might be understanding the 'haul zone' for optimal performance. This updated line features PVC-free construction, added hang markers at 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft on intermediate and sinking variants, and a twin-color system with a marked 'haul zone' for precise casting.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 'haul zone'?

The marked 'haul zone' indicates the optimal point to accelerate the line during a cast, helping anglers achieve more power and accuracy efficiently.

Are the hang markers present on all versions of the Sixth Sense 2 line?

Hang markers at 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft are typically found on the intermediate and sinking line variants. Check specific product details for exact features.

What does 'PVC-free' mean for this fly line?

'PVC-free' means the line is made without polyvinyl chloride, offering an environmentally friendlier alternative to traditional PVC fly lines.

How do I know which size line I need?

The 'WF8' designation refers to a Weight Forward line of size 8. Ensure this matches the recommended line weight for your fly rod.

Can this line be used in saltwater?

Yes, the line can be used in saltwater, but it is essential to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt and prevent corrosion or material degradation.

What are the different sink rates available?

The Airflo Sixth Sense 2 line comes in various sink rates, including floating, intermediate, and different sinking levels (e.g., Sink 3, Sink 5, Sink 7), depending on the specific model. The 'WF8' is a general description, and sink rates are specified separately.

Troubleshooting

Line feels sticky or stiff.

Clean the line with a mild soap and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Casting distance or accuracy is reduced.

Ensure the line is clean and free of debris. Check that the rod and reel are balanced for the WF8 line weight. Review casting technique, specifically utilizing the 'haul zone' marker.

Visibility markers are difficult to see.

The visibility of markers can be affected by lighting conditions. Ensure the line is clean. If markers are still obscured, consider an alternative line or focus on traditional line management techniques.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Airflo Sixth Sense 2 Fly Line is designed to be spooled directly onto a fly reel. Ensure the line is loaded correctly, paying attention to the direction of the taper. For optimal performance, ensure the reel and rod are appropriately matched to the WF8 line weight.

Compatibility: This line is compatible with standard fly fishing reels and rods designed for WF8 (Weight Forward 8) lines. Check rod recommendations for line weight compatibility.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your fly line, regular cleaning is recommended. After use, especially in saltwater or dirty conditions, rinse the line with clean, fresh water. Gently wipe the line with a damp cloth using a mild soap if necessary, then rinse again and allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid exposing the line to excessive heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Store loosely coiled in a cool, dry place.
