Fordham & Wakefield – providers of premium fly-lines and the finest fluorocarbon<br />
NEW Salmon Super Spey<br />
& TT Plus trout lines<br />
£69.99 & £59.99<br />
A season dawns so it’s time for a new<br />
fly-line. Lee Wulff’s latest Super Salmon<br />
Spey and TT Plus trout lines have triangle<br />
tapers with a continuous forward taper in<br />
their heads. This provides efficient energy<br />
transfer during casts because the heavy<br />
line constantly turns over the lighter<br />
line – giving ideal presentation because<br />
the weight is away from the fly.<br />
There's a twin colour finish between<br />
the head and running line: Spey –<br />
blue/white; trout – white/yellow green.<br />
The trout line is a half-size heavier,<br />
which loads the rod fast and shoots line.<br />
They have slender welded loops and laserprinted<br />
identification (head weight and<br />
grains) at the leader end. A slick J3 coating,<br />
helps the line to float higher, repel water<br />
and shoot further.<br />
Grand Max Soft-Plus<br />
fluorocarbon<br />
From £12.99 (50m spool)<br />
This popular fluorocarbon has<br />
strength, a fine diameter and a very<br />
supple feel – all the ingredients for<br />
reliability and good presentation.<br />
Salmon anglers prefer the larger<br />
sizes and trout, smaller.<br />
Available in eight sizes: 0.165mm<br />
to 0.37mm (6.6lb to 24.2lb). Available<br />
in 50m, 100m and 250m spools.<br />
Grand Max fluorocarbon<br />
From £8.99 (30 yards)<br />
The competition anglers’ favourite. It has<br />
excellent reliability, knot strength, low<br />
diameter for its breaking strain and it’s<br />
invisible in water.<br />
Sinking three times faster than nylon<br />
it’s the perfect choice for subsurface flies.<br />
Grand Max is 10 per cent stronger than<br />
standard Riverge fluorocarbon.<br />
Available in 30-yard spools and 12 sizes:<br />
0.10mm to 0.39mm (2.4lb to 24lb).<br />
“Sinking three times faster<br />
than nylon it's the perfect<br />
choice for subsurface flies."<br />
Riverge black leader rings £2.29 pack of 10<br />

these small, black or silver rings are light with rounded edges to<br />
avoid cutting leader. Packs of 10 with a suggested knot card. X small<br />
(0.75mm internal diameter), small (1mm) and medium (2mm).<br />
