Key Specs
Features
- + Extended Distance Head: 47 ft head length within a 120 ft total line; thirty feet longer than standard XS profiles to support improved aerialisation and enhanced long distance casting performance
- + Refined Taper Profile: Seven ft front taper delivers consistent turnover at range; extended eight ft rear taper broadens the effective casting window when optimum head length is not fully aerialised
- + Extended Load Point: Rear taper begins at 39 ft, nearly one third longer than traditional XS lines; creates a longer, more progressive load zone while remaining manageable with adequate back cast space.
- + Slim Running Line Design: Maintains Snowbee’s slim diameter construction to minimise wind resistance; extended head promotes balanced rod flex when fully carried without adding unnecessary bulk
- + Floating Line Options: Floating density weight forward fly line available in WF five, six, seven and eight; ivory and chartreuse colour combination enhances on-water visibility during distance casting
