Product Reviews

Review: No matter if I am fishing with my standard spey or a trout spey, the airflo Polyleaders are my go to leader to finish the set up. They replace a standard tapered mono leader and help load my rods better. The one I use the most is the Intermediate, especially when swinging dries for steelhead, with tension on the line the fly still skates on the surface and if I have a fish boil on the fly but doesn't hook up, I can change the fly and put on a subsurface wet fly and cast again and swing the fly without tension so it sinks just a bit below the surface and sometimes that does the trick to get the fish to take. 1 tip for 2 techniques... Highly recommend these.

Review: I was using the 14'ers on a 12' rod. The 10'ers are a better fit for the shorter rods in my opinion.

Review: I have been using Airflo Polyleaders for many years for Southern Cal. surf and bay fishing for many years and find them ideal for this type of fishing they have the various weights to reach the fish zone i want quickly.

Review: I have fished Airflo Polyleaders for years without any trouble. They are perfect for spey casting scandi lines. I read the other review and would like to address some of his concerns. First separation, I have seen this happen but it is so minor. nip off the loose material and go on. Polyleaders are nylon line coated with a poly material to build up mass. There has to be a transition point and that can come loose. Minor, trim it and go. Second Breaking, You got to treat the tippet end just like any other leader, retie when needed. Third if you are really fishing big fish consider going up a size to 40lb salmon. They are not listed here but when I called Gorge Fly Shop they were more than willing to acquire them for me from Airflo. They said they don't list because very few anglers need/want them. If more request come they will stock and list them. Difference is the salmon poly's are built on a 40lb core vs the steelhead 24lb core. Bottom line treat it like any leader and you'll be fine.

Review: Leader separated after little use. My first experience with AirFlo products.

Review: I bought two of the Airflo floating polyleaders. I had issues with the leaders from the start and would probably not use them again. As for the first leader, the coating on the leader began to separate from the core. The coating tended to slide up on the core, giving the leader a very twisted appearance. Not long after that the loop broke. I put on the second leader, the coating on that leader also slid up the core and caused the leader to take on a twisted appearance. The second leader also separated in exactly the same place as the first, right where the loop was spliced in, leaving the loop and an inch or so of coating dangling from my line. Given two breaks at the loop splice, I would not trust these leaders ever again.
