FAQs
What is the benefit of the Superflo running line?
The Superflo running line is ultra-thin, which reduces friction and allows for longer casting distances.
How do I identify the line weight and type?
Each line has a laser-printed ID that indicates the line weight and sink rate.
Can I use this line in saltwater?
Yes, but be sure to rinse the line thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt residue.
What kind of knots should I use?
For attaching the line to backing, use an Arbor knot or nail knot. For leader attachment, use the welded loop or a suitable knot.
How often should I replace the line?
Replace the line if you notice any significant wear, abrasions, or cracks that affect its performance. Regular inspection is key.
What's the difference between the different sink rates?
Different sink rates allow you to fish at different depths. Floating lines stay on the surface, while intermediate lines sink slowly, and sinking lines sink at various speeds to reach different depths.
Troubleshooting
Line tangles frequently.
Check your casting technique. Ensure the line is not being overloaded. Consider using a line dressing to reduce friction.
Line sinks too quickly.
Ensure you are using the correct line type (e.g., floating or intermediate). Check for any damage or abrasion to the line that might be causing it to sink.
Difficulty casting long distances.
Check your casting technique. Ensure you are using the appropriate line weight for your rod and reel. Check for any knots or tangles and replace or correct them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Line Selection: Choose the correct line weight and sink rate based on your rod, reel, and fishing conditions. Ensure the line weight matches your rod's specifications.
Backing Attachment: Attach the fly line to your backing using a strong, reliable knot, such as an Arbor knot or a nail knot.
Leader Attachment: Attach your leader to the fly line using the welded loop.
Reel Compatibility: Ensure the fly line is compatible with your reel's capacity.
Care Instructions
Rinse After Use: After each fishing trip, rinse the fly line with fresh water to remove any dirt, salt, or debris.
