AIRFLO IMPACT 35 LB OVAL MONO RUNNING LINE IN CHARTREUSE
The Airflo Impact 35 lb Oval Mono Running Line in Chartreuse is a specialized fly fishing line designed for distance casting and smooth shooting. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
1. 35 lb Test – High strength for durability and abrasion resistance.
2. Oval Mono Construction – Unique oval-shaped profile reduces friction in guides for faster, longer casts.
3. Running Line – Thin, low-memory design optimized for shooting lines in saltwater or heavy freshwater applications.
4. Chartreuse Color – High visibility for tracking line and detecting strikes.
5. Sink Rate – Sinks slowly (or floats, depending on model), ideal for streamers or sinking tips.
Best Uses:
– Saltwater fly fishing (tarpon, permit, bonefish).
– Big freshwater species (pike, musky, large trout with sink-tip setups).
– Spey/Switch rod applications (compatible with Skagit or Scandi heads).
Pros:
– Low memory and minimal coiling.
– Smooth shooting through guides.
– Abrasion-resistant for tough conditions.
Cons:
– May require cleaning (dirt buildup can reduce performance).
– Not ideal as a floating line (verify sink rate if needed).
Alternatives:
– Rio SlickShooter (floating running line).
– Scientific Anglers Mastery Shooting Line (similar performance).
Tip:
Pair with an Airflo Ridge Striper or Skagit head for saltwater setups, or use with a sink-tip for streamers.

The Airflo Impact 35 lb Oval Mono Running Line in Chartreuse is a specialized fly fishing line designed for saltwater and heavy freshwater applications. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
1. 35 lb Test – Strong enough for large saltwater species (e.g., tarpon, permit, striped bass) or heavy freshwater fish (e.g., pike, musky).
2. Oval Mono Construction – The oval shape reduces memory and tangling compared to round mono, improving casting performance.
3. Low Stretch – Provides better sensitivity and hook-setting power.
4. Floating Design – Ideal for topwater flies and saltwater applications where line control is critical.
5. High-Visibility Chartreuse – Easy to track in various water conditions.
6. Compatibility – Works well with shooting heads, sink tips, or as a standalone running line for Spey or single-handed rods.
Best Uses:
– Saltwater Fly Fishing (tarpon, bonefish, redfish, etc.)
– Big Game Freshwater (pike, musky, carp)
– Spey/Switch Rods – Smooth shooting for long-distance casts.
Pros:
✔ Low memory & reduced coiling
✔ Excellent abrasion resistance
✔ High visibility for tracking line
✔ Strong knot strength
Cons:
❌ Stiffer than some coated running lines (may require breaking in).
❌ Not as slick as some modern polymer-coated options.
Alternatives:
– Airflo Ridge Running Line (slicker, less memory)
– RIO ConnectCore (polymer-coated for smoother shooting)
– Scientific Anglers Sonar Sink Tip Running Line (for sinking applications).
