When it comes to the "business end", we've got it covered. Our Snowbee Leader System
includes Poly Coated, Braided & Tapered Monofilament Leaders, Loop Connectors, Magic
Line & Fluorocarbon. Our Backing range covers everything from basic braided Trout
backing, to high tech Power-Pro Spectra fibre braid.
Poly-Coated Leaders (PCL'S)
The smooth tapered Polymer coating over a supple monofilament core make the Poly-Coated
Leaders an extension of your fly line. This superb range of leaders, has a neat welded
loop at the butt end with a monofilament tip, which can be tied directly into your
tippet. The Thermo-plastic coating gives a silky smooth surface finish and a superb,
controlled turn-over and presentation. Available in 5ft Trout (12lb B.S), or 10ft
Salmon/Saltwater (24lb B.S.).
Snowbee 'Salmon' Poly-Coated Leaders (PCL's)
A superb range of salmon leaders, constructed with a tapered PU coating over a supple
monofilament core. A moulded loop allows easy connection and movement through the
tip ring. The taper gives a silky smooth finish for superb, controlled turnover and
delicate presentation of small to medium sized salmon flies - For larger flies simply
trim to the desired length (starting at the tip).
Snowbee 'Salmon' Poly-Coated Leaders are available in a range of densities to suit
a wide range of fishing situations and are the perfect addition to our 3-D Spey line
system, Scandinavian-Spey Lines and Shooting Heads.
Braided Leaders
A superb range of Braided Leaders, providing excellent turn-over and delicate presentation.
Finished with a neat loop at both ends. B.S.18-20 lbs.
Monofilament Leaders
A range of top quality tapered Monofilament Leaders, using a super strength, low
diameter blended Nylon material. The 9ft leaders have a long taper and short tippet
for easy turn over in general use, whilst the 12ft, Specialist Dry-Fly Leaders have
a steeper taper and 5ft tippet, for delicate presentation. New for 2005 are the Salmon
& Saltwater Leaders. These have a heavier butt section to minimise hinge point, when
turning over large flies.
Heavy Butt Salmon and Saltwater Leaders
New for 2006 are the Salmon and Saltwater Leaders. These specalist monofilament leaders
have a heavier butt section to minimise hinge point, when turning over large flies
Avaliable in 10ft & 15ft length's in a range of B.S's
Loop Connectors
The simple way to attach leaders to fly-lines. Pack contains 3 finished loops, with
silicone tubing, ready to attach direct to your fly-line. The ALL NEW 2007 models
feature un-glued splices, which makes them softer & more pliable, avoiding those
stiff glued sections, which cause hinge-points. Also new for 2007 is a lightweight
model for lighter line weights.
Magic Line
Snowbee Magic Line sets a new standard in Nylon Monofilament technology. It is a
new generation "double strength" line which exhibits characteristics normally associated
with conventional strength monofilaments; high knot strength, with knots such as
blood knots; Good elasticity and recovery; Low memory and excellent resistance to
kinking and abrasion. The high-tech formula used for this line, is UV and temperature
stabilised and the line is treated with a water repellent resin coating, which helps
maintain line strength and transparency, whilst resisting abrasion.
- Ultra Low Diameter - High Break Strength
- Superior Knot Strength
- High abrasion resistance …. the properties of a "double strength" line
- Resin impregnated with the behaviour of a modern monofilament
- UV Stabilised
- Super supple
Snowbee Hi-Tensile Fluorocarbon Line
A top quality Fluorocarbon line, which can compete with double strength monofilaments
in terms of breaking strain/diameter ratios. The new Snowbee Fluorocarbon, for the
first time, offers Fly Fisherman all the advantages of a top quality fluorocarbon,
without sacrificing diameter! It's high knot strength, low diameter, abrasion resistance
and invisibility in water make this, without doubt, the best tippet material on the
market!
- High Tensile Strength - Low Diameter
- Low refractive index, close to that of Water
- Superior Knot Strength
- Superb Abrasion Resistance
- Low stretch - High Sensitivity
- High Specific Gravity
- Cuts through Surface Film and sinks at a controlled rate.
Magic Line & Fluorocarbon
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.
Snowbee Micro - Backing
A new micro braided backing constructed from 50% Dyneema, 50% Polyester. High breaking
strain, low diameter, allowing greater backing capacity on your reel. 200m Spools,
with up to 1,000m available in continuous length.
New Snowbee XS Hi Visibility Running Lines
Snowbee XS Running Lines feature a low mass, low diameter material composition and
provide the ideal medium for Shooting Head construction and line shoot-ability. These
ultra-slick 40 yard floating running lines come in a choice of two colours, ideally
suited to either Trout or Salmon/ Saltwater fly fishing.
Saltwater Fly Fishing
Ever more anglers are going destination fly fishing for exotic Saltwater species
and anyone who has hooked up with a hard running Tarpon or Bill-fish knows the importance
of plenty of backing on your spool.
With a large Sailfish or Marlin running hard, a quarter of a mile from the boat,
the deciding factor in success or failure is staying in touch with that fish - period.
This is where Power-Pro‚ is in a class of its own. Hundreds of yards of line out
of the rod tip has a tremendous drag through the water on its own - without the added
problem of an angry gamefish on the end of it. The ultra low diameter of Power-Pro‚
reduces this drag to the minimum. Less line drag - less chance of the hook pulling
out.
The round cross section prevents the line flattening and burying in the spool - a
problem associated with many inferior braids, leading to line snatch, or lock-up
and lost fish - allowing the angler to concentrate on what is happening down at the
business end.
Lure Fishing
Low stretch Power-Pro‚ has long been associated with excellence in Lure Fishing circles
for both Pike & Saltwater Game species. Continual casting of Large Plugs & Lures,
whether for Predatory Pike or hard running GT's is the ultimate test for tackle.
Any inherent flaw will soon be found out and the last thing you want is for that
flaw to manifest itself, when you have just connected with that fish of a lifetime!
Coupled with the low stretch, not only will you feel every twitch and turn of your
lure, but more importantly, you feel even the lightest knock, resulting in more hook-ups.
With Power-Pro‚, lure fishing with 100lb BS line is not uncommon, which ensures that
your favourite lure stays attached to the line, even after hours of heavy casting
and if you do snag up, the chances of recovery are vastly improved - you'll straighten
out a big treble before you break the line!
Pro-Leader
Armoured Pro Leader is manufactured from a continuous fibre Dyneema
Core with a braided stainless steel outer sheath. Pro-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 Pro-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. The ultimate "bites" for any type of predator
fishing whether for Saltwater Bluefish or Pike.
Available in 5Kg, 8Kg, 12Kg, 25Kg & 45Kg breaking strains on 3m spools.
Power-Pro® Braid
Power-Pro®‚ is recognised as the best Super Braid on the market. The Ultra Strong
Spectra‚ Fibre uses Enhanced Body Technology™, to create an incredibly round, smooth
and sensitive line.
Unlike older style Braided Lines, Power-Pro‚ doesn't bury in the spool under tension.
The near zero stretch factor comes into play when contact with a running fish is
immediate and hook hold worries are a thing of the past.
Unbelievable strength to diameter ratios - over 3 times that of the best monofilaments
- 0.36mm Power-Pro‚ is equivalent to a 15lb monofilament - yet has a BS of over 50lbs!
Add to this near zero reel memory and unbelievable abrasion resistance and you have
the ultimate all round line.
This is just a small selection of the full Power-Pro range. For full details, including
bulk spools, please contact us.
