Airflo Rage, Sixth Sense and Superflo

Rage Tri-Integrated Kit, £129.99; Sixth Sense 2, £69.99; Superflo and Superflo Ridge 2.0, £79.99 — £99.99

Airflo's new Rage integrated heads for salmon fishing are a response to popular demand. This compact line has no loop-to-loop connection between the running line and the head and is supplied with three 12ft density tips (floating, fast intermediate and sink 3) to cover a multitude of fishing conditions. The line is available from 7/8wt to 10/11wt.

The hugely popular Sixth Sense and Superflo ranges for single-handed rods have also been given a revamp in 2024. The Sixth Sense 2 has been designed to meet the needs of stillwater anglers. The long front taper excels with teams of flies, creating the perfect balance between delicacy and distance. Its low-stretch core puts you in direct contact with your flies. Available in sizes 5/6wt to 8/9wt in floating, intermediate and precise sink rates from 3ips to 8ips.

The Superflo and Superflo Ridge 2.0 freshwater lines are available in new colours. While the Power tapers get a bright palette to match their punchy performance, the Tactical tapers sport subtle tones, befitting their more delicate presentation.

Cortland Peaches and Cream

£65.99

Cortland's 444 Peach is one of the most recognisable fly-lines of all time. First designed in the 1960s under the watchful eye of renowned US fly-fisher Leon Chandler, this line has stood the test of time and established itself as an American classic. To commemorate this heritage and give a nod to its many loyal followers, Cortland has designed a limited edition version, adding new age flair with welded loops and a dual peach/cream colour. No line is more deserving of being Cortland's first limited edition line than the 444 Peach. Available in WF5F and WF7F.

The Highwater Classic is based on a popular first-generation line. It is the ideal all-rounder in your arsenal, agile at short to medium di
