Leader System and Backing Line
Flouro-Tec and Magic Line2
For many years, fly fisherman have come to rely on Snowbee Magic Line and Fluorocarbon… but even the best can be improved and with advances in line technology, it was time for an upgrade. These new lines really are at the cutting edge of line technology and are guaranteed to perform. Not only is the line material itself top quality but the new, larger diameter spools provide minimal memory – important when tying long leaders. An excellent spool line-lock, holds loose ends on the spool to keep tippet spools neat and waste to a minimum.
Magic Line²
Magic Line² is the latest generation of Snowbee ‘double
strength’ 100% Polymer nylon lines. Based on the
popular old Magic Line, this new line is now smoother,
softer and stronger, exhibiting a low-stretch formula for
optimum feel and performance.
Ultra Low Diameter
High Knot Strength
Super supple, low memory for drag free
leader presentation
Excellent resistance to kinking and abrasion
Ultra Clear for lowest visibility
Low stretch for maximum impact resistance
Snowbee Fluoro-tec
A superb new-generation of Fluorocarbon line,
manufactured using the latest 21st century PVDF
technology, to produce a genuine Fluoro-polymer with
superb fishing characteristics. Exhibiting all the benefits of
modern day fluorocarbons, the technology has improved
to specifically identify and enhance the characteristics
required for the perfect fishing line. Fluoro-tec has all the
qualities in the perfect combination, to produce just that -
the ultimate clear water leader!
Low stretch, combining high sensitivity with maximum impact resistance
Low water absorption for the ultimate in consistent performance
High knot strength to diameter ratio
Super low refractive index for truly minimal visibility in water
Temperature stabilised high-tech formula
Excellent abrasion resistance and low memory
Strong yet still very supple for the perfect presentation
Leader System
All too often in fly fishing, the importance of a good leader is over-looked. The ‘business end’ provides the final presentation and makes the difference between success and failure. Fish don’t care how much you paid for your fancy rod or reel; if they can see the leader, or the presentation is poor, they’ll ignore your fly... simple as that! The Snowbee Leader System is the result of many years development, steadily ‘tweaking’ the range, to provide the perfect leader for any fishing situation.
FL9 Fluorocarbon Leaders
We all know the advantages of Fluorocarbon as a tippet material. Our new range of tapered Fluorocarbon leaders combine the benefits of fluorocarbon, with the convenience of a tapered leader. The 9ft leaders are ideal for river or Stillwater nymph fishing, particularly in crystal clear waters.
ML Monofilament Leaders
A range of top quality tapered Monofilament Leaders, using a super strength, low diameter Copolymer Nylon material.

Tuf-Line XP
Aerospace technology has been utilised to produce TUF-Line XP fishing line. Braided under higher tension using ‘Tension Lock Technology’, to create more compaction of the fibres during the finishing process and a rounder profile than competitive lines.
More compact
Smaller in diameter. Packs better on reels
Offers better knot performance
Casts further
Reduces rod tip wraps… and boasts higher abrasion resistance
TUF-Line XP’s state-of-the-art coating remains permanently bonded to the fibers, offering an incredibly long service life with zero shedding.
Now available in 4 colour options:
Moss Green – The choice for stealth angling, preferred by carp and freshwater anglers.
Hi-Viz Yellow – The traditional favourite for many applications, particularly spinning.
Red – The best colour for deep blue water fishing, where red is the first colour of the spectrum to disappear with depth.
Indicator – A multi-colour braid in Red/Yellow/Grey with a colour change every 10ft designed for vertical jigging where a depth indicator is so important.

Tuf-Line DuraCast-engineered for Spinning Reels
TUF-Line DuraCast is the braid solution for spinning reels. Its revolutionary patent-pending construction process eliminates tip wraps, wind knots, rod guide noise and common bail trip issues associated with standard super-lines, yet delivers the strength and sensitivity advantages anglers have come to rely on. So outstanding is DuraCast’s performance that the line won the
Best New Braided Line award at the prestigious European Fishing Tackle Trade Association show in June 2009. DuraCast’s award is only the second time in history a U.S. manufacturer has been the recipient of the honour and highlights what an outstanding technological
breakthrough DuraCast represents.
A monofilament core is covered with a Spectra® fibre braid. This is then heat treated, melting the monofilament allowing it to fuse through the braid, which when set, provides smooth outer coating, encapsulating the braid. All the advantages of monofilament, but with zero-stretch! TUF-Line® DuraCast’s Tri-Axial, bi-component construction ensures durability, permanent coloration, and unparalleled abrasion resistance. DuraCast offers a complete braided line solution for carp, pike and inshore saltwater species.
Tuf-Line Duracast (available in Moss Green & Hi-Viz Yellow)
Tuf-Leader
Armoured Tuf-Leader is manufactured from a continuous Spectra® fibre core with a fine braided stainless steel outer sheath. Tuf-Leader is softer, thinner and stronger than conventional wire leaders with no memory, which gives a more natural action to the fly or lure. This added flexibility means Tuf-Leader can be knotted, doing away with bulky crimps and if the leader is kinked, it can be easily straightened by pulling through the fingers, as you would a mono leader.
Available in 5kg, 8kg, 12kg, 25kg and 45kg breaking strains on 5m spools.
Braided Backing Line
High Tenacity Polyester yarn, giving high break strain & low diameter, for less drag through the water. 100m spools in Trout
Weight (22lb B.S.) and Salmon Weight (30lb B.S.).
Shooting Head Backing
Tight braided Monofilament construction gives minimum tangles and reduced friction through the guides, for maximum line speed and distance. 50m spools 25lb B.S.
