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.

Saltwater Fly Lines
Predator & Saltwater Fly Lines
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.
Saltwater Flies
Saltwater/Predator Selections
Our Saltwater/Predator selections continue to offer both the destination fisher and those ‘fishing the salt’ nearer to home, great patterns to tempt any predatory fish from bonefish and tarpon to bass and pollack. Be ready to hang on as our predator patterns, tied from
traditional and modern synthetics for the lightest of casting, might just be about to catch more than you bargained for!
