Fantastic as a Switch line

This is a brilliant line for anyone fishing for salmon or sea trout in small rivers. I Spey/underhand cast this line - it is incredible for snake rolling as well.
Why buy it? With a 12 foot multi-tip (I use Guideline or Hardy tips borrowed from my other mult-tip shooting heads) it always turns these over in a straight line. It manages to do this even if you don’t have room to set the cast up properly - especially if you are casting under, or close to trees and bushes.
I use the 225 grain version - with a 12 foot tip. This is only 25 feet of fly line to manoeuvre in tight spots.
It will turnover 12 foot tapered leaders added to the tips with 6 foot tippet.
It is also very good in windy conditions because everything is so compact.
I bought this line as an alternative to the Commando head and laser line set-up I have been using for a couple of years. On small rivers, I found the knot on the running line continually rattling through the top rings. I still use this setup on larger rivers but the integrated line is perfect if you want to work the fly right back to your feet.
It will even turnover heavy flies as well - large tungsten cone heads (6mm) but I only use a short 6-7foot leader for this.
Just make sure you match the correct weight, including the tips, to your rod.

I have now got 2 commando smooth lines for different rods. Absolutely first class for roll cast , spey cast and snap C cast techniques. Use the OPST chart to match the correct line to your rod, you will not look back. This product has changed my fishing style completely, for the better. Always in stock at Angling Active and delivered next day.
