Description: Snowbee XS Plus Thistledown² Fly Line Snowbee XS Plus Thistledown² Fly Line Snowbee XS Plus Thistledown² Fly Line, three options available, Thistledown² #1-#4 for small rivers & brooks; Thistledown² #2-#5 is designed for the river and light fishing on still waters, and the Thistledown² #5-#7 for heavier fly fishing rods. Snowbee XS-Plus Thistledown² Fly Line Floating - #2-5wt The original Thistledown fly line, first introduced in 2015 in the #2-5 weight. Utterly unique and still one of troutcatchers fastest selling lines, this Thistledown line is ideal for river and light fishing on stillwaters. Since this Thistledown was launched, technology has moved on resulting in the Thistledown², featuring an even finer braided core allowing Snowbee to apply a thicker coating whilst still maintaining the same overall diameter, this benefits of an even higher floating line than the original models. Snowbee XS-Plus Thistledown² Fly Line Floating - #5–7wt Snowbee launched this new #5-7wt option following the success of the original fly line. Anglers soon came to appreciate the advantages of the presentation benefits on larger Rivers and Stillwaters. Snowbee XS-Plus Thistledown² Brook Fly Line Floating - #1-4wt Following the phenomenal success of the original Thistledown line and then the #5-7 model, Snowbee were frequently asked for a lighter weight model, for small rivers and brooks. The #1-4 Thistledown, has a shorter, lighter profile than its big brothers, providing superb, delicate presentation, with the lightest of rods from a #1 to a #4 wt. Snowbee XS Plus Thistledown² Floating Fly Line features; XS Fly lines, welded pre-looped both ends Nano Coating Technology Fly Line tagged which end to attach to Backing line (Sold separate listing) Colour: Two-tone in colour, Shamrock Olive head with a Buckskin running line Weights; Thistledown² #1-#4; Thistledown² #2-#5; Thistledown² #5-#7 Snowbee Thistledown Fly Fishing Line - Unique, super-fine profile range of lines, defy logic….how can ONE line weight, work on a range of rod weights? Believe us, when we say they do! Try them, for the best, ‘thistledown’ presentation you will ever have experienced! 'Tackle Tester Choice from trout fisherman' and many others agree handing out many Awards! The Snowbee XS Plus Thistledown Fly Line how it all work...? it states #2-5wt there really is only one single line that can and does function amazingly on all weight rods, whether they be a #2, #3, #4 or #5wt!! "How?” is the question everybody asks.... Well it comes down to simple physics, as the new and refined components of this Thistledown Fly line combine to give the thinnest, most supple, weight forward profile possible, that correspondingly weighs very little and delivers incredible stealth and accuracy at the same time. The ultra-thin diameter, roughly half that of a conventional fly line, creates minimal drag when casting. That means the fly line speed can be maintained throughout the casting action and delivers the fly or flies, precisely where required, with the minimum effort possible. As its drag coefficient is so low, even in a strong cross-wind this line will cut through it, to deliver the fly exactly where intended. The amazing ‘Thistledown’, was primarily designed for the river and light fishing on small stillwaters but is now a regular companion on almost any application where an angler enjoys finesse, stealth and accuracy. Thistledown is two-tone in colour, Shamrock Olive head with a Buckskin running line and 90ft in total length. The short 34.5ft head, has a long, compound front taper and slender running line behind for effortless casting and extended presentation, to attain whatever range is necessary. The ultra-thin profile, combined with the super-smooth Nano coating, helps maintain line speed and if used for nymphing, also provides extreme sensitivity. Both ends are pre-looped, with micro welded loops, to maintain the line’s outstanding performance, so it is ready to go, straight from the box.

"I first used a Snowbee XS line many years ago on the river Teign. It was like nothing I had used before, soft, supple, totally memory free and effortless to cast the fl y wherever I needed it. I then discovered there was a whole range of nearly 50 XS lines of similar superb quality.
