Snowbee XS-Plus Spectre Fly Lines WF6F - SAVE £15
The XS-Plus Spectre line design allows for the casting ability of most anglers. If you can cast at all, this line will flatter your performance. If you can cast well, the Spectre lines will help make your casting become exceptional. The Spectre series has a new profile, extending the range of our traditional XS fly lines and are all 30ft longer in total length to account for their outstanding performance.
Each of the new Spectre Distance lines have the same 47ft length head, but to help achieve the benefit of longer casts with much the same casting ability, the profiles have been ‘tweaked’ to optimise performance, with all casting abilities.
The 7ft front taper allows good turnover at longer range, while the 8ft rear taper provides a range over which a good cast can still be achieved, whether the optimum head length has been precisely aerialised, or not. The traditional XS fly lines have a rear taper that starts at approximately 31 feet. The rear taper on the Spectre lines start at a much extended 39ft, nearly a third longer! This provides a load point much longer than normal but still manageable, so where back-cast room allows, a significantly longer cast can be achieved, without having to add bulk to the fl y line for the same result. Snowbee lines are renowned for being very slim and by extending the head length, within manageable levels, this adds weight to the overall head when fully extended, without increasing wind resistance through bulk. Although only small in additional weight gain, the benefi t produces a better load fl ex in the fl y rod for the same effort, but essentially the slim profi le lines will still cast with extreme smoothness and cut through the air, effortlessly. With a longer head already extended, the cast automatically travels further
