Saltwater Fly Fishing
Saltwater Fly Fishing
Any fisherman caught out in a rain squall, knows the importance of keeping gear dry. Our new Rucksack system does just that.
The innovative use of PVC and PU-backed nylon allows a new level of flexibility and durability, whilst remaining 100% waterproof.
Our range uses the well-proven ‘roll-down’ top design coupled with waterproof zips, for total protection. Team them up with the
accessories opposite for trouble-free times on the bank or boat.
Deep Blue Fly Rods:
Although most #7-#9 wt fly rods can be used for saltwater fly fishing, 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 all conditions and species encountered, plus the rods are suitably finished to minimise wear and saltwater damage from the relentless marine environment.
Pacific Bay Reel Seats.
New for 2010 all the Deep Blue Fly rods have been upgraded with the classic Pacific Bay uplocking reel seats and reinforced cork on the handles in areas of high wear, for better durability in the rugged
marine environment.
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
These rods come fitted with an extra handle on bottom section for help when playing larger fish and extended cork section on butt.
All Deep Blue rods carry the Snowbee lifteime Guarantee and have cotton drill bag and protective cordura tube for complete peace of mind when travelling
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!
Saltwater Fly Lines
Predator & Saltwater Fly Lines
Spectre’ Pike & Tarpon Fly Lines
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.
BFF - XS Bonefish Fly Lines
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.
SWF - XS Saltwater Fly Lines
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.
SWSS - XS Saltwater Clear
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.
XS Tropics Saltwater Fly Lines
XS Tropics Saltwater Fly Lines
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.
