The high-density coating gives you a fly line that maximizes energy from the rod, so you can achieve long casts with less use of power. ArcticSilver’s new MD (Micro-Diameter) fly lines feature an extremely low diameter giving the lines excellent wind- cutting properties. The lines are super-stable during flight.
The ArcticSilver MicroDiameter lines are thinner and smoother than conventional floating fly lines in comparable AFTM-classes. The diameter of the ArcticSilver #8 Micro Diameter Floating Grey Ghost Fly Line is closer to that of slow-sinking lines, and they are met with less air resistance and thus achieve higher line speed than competing fly lines. And since they float really well, despite the low diameter, the advantage is clear. The head of the ArcticSilver MD Grey Ghost fly line is approximately 11 meters and weighs a little more than 18grams. The rear taper, however, is relatively long stretching into the shooting line for about 6-7 meters. This means that you can easily blind cast with more than 12 meters of line. The maximum casting length is only limited by the fly line’s total length, which was measured at 29,4 meters. If you add 4 meters of leader, you’ll have a distance of 33 meters between you and your fly. The ArcticSilver #4 Micro Diameter Floating Grey Ghost Fly Line ensures superb turnover and delivers the fly perfectly. In summary, the effective casting range during practical fishing is fully comparable with that of shooting heads – but the presentation is much, much better!
