The Airflo Flats Master fly line features a 10 fast intermediate tip (1.5 IPS), however unlike most intermediate tip lines on the market that feature a clear tip over a stretchy monofilament core the Flats Master is built using Airflos non stretch power core for maximum feel, improved hook sets and optimised casting power. Tester Dave Bradley from Australian Fly Fishing Outfitters points out compared to many saltwater fly destinations which are based around bonefish, in Australia we tend to fish relatively large flies and the non stretch core is critical for setting the bigger hooks well. The Flats Master features Airflos popular bonefish taper, Manics Rene Vaz states we found the intermediate tip section delivers enough power to knock over heavy crab patterns without the need to move to a more aggressive taper which in turn would have created more shallow water issues by being too splashing and overpowering short casts. The belly and running line of the Flats Master are a pale sky blue colour whilst a light grey tinge to the clear tip helps it to disappear underwater and reduces the flash given off by clear tip fly lines. The Flats Master is available in weights 8 through to 10 to cover everything from in shore bream through to permit and other larger flats species.
