Saltwater Fly Fishing
Saltwater Fly Fishing is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing areas of our sport. Combining the casting skills of the fly fisher, with the coastal knowledge of the sea angler, it offers unlimited opportunities, with species such as Bass, Pollack, Mullet, Mackerel, Garfish & even Flatfish!
ackerel, Garfish & even Flatfish!
Deep Blue Fly Rods:
Although most #7-#9 wt fly rods can be used, our Deep Blue range was designed specifically to cope with the harsh saltwater environment and the inevitable coastal wind, which is rarely absent. The steep tapers & thicker walled blanks provide additional strength to cope with the powerful species encountered.
Deep Blue #8 & #9 Wt Fly Rods:
Two highly capable fly rods designed for coastal fishing for Bass, Pollack etc. Equally suitable for overseas fly fishing for Bonefish & the likes, where the progressive power curve can be fully tested.
Deep Blue #10 & #12 Wt. Fly Rods:
Fitted with a top handle for additional leverage, these immensely powerful rods are designed for large overseas saltwater species, on fly. More suitable for boat fishing, where distance is less important than fighting ability, the Deep Blue two handle range will take on large Tarpon, Permit or GT’s….and win!
XS Fly Reels:
Since their launch in 2002, the XS Reels have been taken frontier fishing to every corner of the globe and proved their pedigree as a top saltwater fly reel.
Machined from solid bar-stock aluminium, they feature a multi disk drag system, second to none. The silky smooth drag with near zero start up inertia, results in fewer smash takes.
Like all good engineering, we kept it simple - and rugged. The reel\is capable of a complete strip-down in the field with a Leatherman type tool…not that it’ll need it!
The ultimate Saltwater reel for Bonefish & smaller species. The near zero start-up inertia easily copes with “smash takes” while the ample backing capacity will easily cope with the unexpected “double figure” Bone’ should you get lucky!
XS910
The perfect all-round choice for the Saltwater fly enthusiast. The 910 has all the attributes of the other models in the range but with added backing capacity.
XS1112
The class leading #1112 Salmon & Saltwater model is already proving to be a world-class reel. The smaller arbor diameter provides ample spool volume for a long belly Saltwater Line, plus backing. For ‘Big Game’ Saltwater Fly fishing, you can load up the 1112 with over 1,000m of 30lb Power-Pro backing, plus fly line! Equipped with the XS1112, you really can take on the largest Saltwater Game species in the knowledge that you have both the backing capacity and the drag system to beat them.
The innovative process for the ‘Spectre’ series of fly lines incorporates our technically advanced clear intermediate coating over a ‘Camo-coloured’ core. By combining a reduced visibility, with a highly developed ‘stepped Front Taper’ profile, both lines in the series offer the ‘Predator’ fly fisher a real opportunity to deliver & turn over large flies quickly and with the minimum of effort.
STI - Spectre Tarpon
Clear Coated with light blue core for the ultimate in blue water monsters on the fly.
Designed specifically for Bone fishing in Sub-Tropical conditions, a profile similar to the standard floating line, offers spook-free presentation, coupled with the legendary Snowbee performance.
A general-purpose saltwater line suitable for anything from UK species to Tarpon where the temperatures are not the most fierce as can be found in parts of the tropics. The longer belly, gives the line more ‘weight’, for quick loading, while the shorter, steeper tapers will turn over the largest of flies at any distance.
Slow Sink Fly Line Using the well proven Snowbee XS line profile, with a clear Slow Sink coating, this is the ultimate sub-surface ‘Predator’ fly line for all temperate or sub-tropical species with minimal risk of spooking ones prey.
Anyone who has fished in the searing heat of the Tropics knows of the havoc these temperatures can play with a fly line. Your prized line, which performs faultlessly on the local reservoir, suddenly turns into a string of limp liquorice, which sticks to everything! If you are going all that way and spending all that money…go prepared. That’s where the New Snowbee XS Tropics Saltwater lines come in. Using totally new technology, these lines are designed to retain their performance in extremes of temperature & humidity. When that monster Tarpon “tails” at extreme casting distance, you can cast instinctively, confident the line will perform. The shorter, steeper tapers ensure your heavy fly kicks over, even at maximum casting range.
SWTS XS Tropics Saltwater Surf Line
Although designed for Tropical surfcasting, this line performs equally well in temperate conditions. Ideal for use where the predators are holding just behind the second or third wave break, picking up baitfish or shrimp, caught in the undertow. The short, shooting head profile, fast-sink head, gets you down quickly to the bite zone, whilst the high buoyancy, floating running line, prevents getting sucked down by the under-tow.
SWTF XS Tropics Saltwater Floating line
Probably the most commonly used line, this one really needs to be right….and it is. Slick, supple & responsive for supreme accuracy at maximum casting range, this line delivers!
SWTI XS Tropics Saltwater Intermediate line
An Intermediate version of the Floating line, which sinks at a uniform, controllable 2.0-2.5ips. A superb line for toothy critters patrolling sub-surface.
