How to Choose Airflo Fly Lines The Polyurethane Advantage Unlike most fly line manufacturers that use PVC (polyvinyl chloride), Airflo constructs their lines using polyurethane (PU) . This material offers significant advantages in durability and chemical resistance. PU is naturally resistant to UV rays, sunscreen, and insect repellent (DEET), which are common causes of cracking and failure in traditional PVC lines. This means Airflo lines often maintain their slickness and floatability longer, providing better value over the life of the product. Understanding Ridge 2.0 Technology Many Airflo lines feature their proprietary Ridge 2.0 technology . This design incorporates ridges that run parallel to the line's axis, reducing the surface area that contacts the rod guides. This reduction in friction allows the line to shoot further with less effort. Unlike older textured lines that could be noisy, the Ridge 2.0 profile is smoother and quieter while still delivering exceptional shootability and tangle resistance.
