New Products for <strong>2024</strong><br />
As <strong>Snowbee</strong> progresses through the new chapter,<br />
we can continue to draw on our many years of great<br />
experience <strong>and</strong> successful business which has driven<br />
the company to where we are today <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />
Since the Covid p<strong>and</strong>emic, time in the great outdoors has continued to soar with<br />
fishing, especially fly fishing, still seeing a huge increase in interest, with many<br />
newcomers now taking up the activity. <strong>Snowbee</strong> joining SMG has also combined<br />
to produce a new ‘route to market’ through a much larger organisation. With<br />
more staff <strong>and</strong> further advanced technology now helping to secure a stronger<br />
future for both the br<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> product development going forward. This year’s<br />
product range follows on the back of the outst<strong>and</strong>ing success <strong>and</strong> reviews, using<br />
the latest in modern product design <strong>and</strong> materials.<br />
With design for the modern game angler at the forefront of our efforts, we are happy<br />
to experience increasingly popular dem<strong>and</strong> for fly fishing <strong>and</strong> the outdoors, as the<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> br<strong>and</strong> name grows in reputation <strong>and</strong> for exceptional quality, service <strong>and</strong><br />
reliability. Along with working on <strong>and</strong> providing some great new <strong>and</strong> original products,<br />
we continue working at improving some of the ‘old favourites’ wherever we can too.<br />
This year we have added new fly rods, new fly lines, reels <strong>and</strong> waders plus spent<br />
considerable efforts looking to once again improve our product range for the marine<br />
angler, with the new Deep Blue reels testament to that.<br />
Award-winning <strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
The G-XS - <strong>Prestige</strong> 9ft #9 4-Piece <strong>Fly</strong> Rod is a superb new addition to our<br />
award-winning <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS SW Graphene Saltwater series, providing the<br />
ideal choice for the serious destination <strong>and</strong> predator angler. Our well proven<br />
G-XS Graphene blanks, finished in pearlescent electric blue, have been tested<br />
under the harshest of conditions <strong>and</strong> always come out on top. Whether going<br />
Bone or Permit fishing in the Caribbean, or predator fishing closer to home,<br />
this is one item for the top of the tackle list <strong>and</strong> you will not want to be leaving<br />
home without…. (See page 9)<br />
In contrast, by popular request the new Spectre-Pro <strong>Fly</strong> Rod 8’ #4 4-Piece<br />
is our first addition to our Spectre-Pro range, giving the dedicated small river<br />
<strong>and</strong> stream angler a fantastic option, when wishing to target spooky trout,<br />
short <strong>and</strong> accurate with a soft enough action to ensure superior casting <strong>and</strong><br />
presentation with effortless ease. (See page 13)<br />
New Saltwater <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
There is now a br<strong>and</strong> new saltwater fly line in two essential weights to match<br />
our <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS Saltwater rods especially. The Bonefish/Permit Floating<br />
<strong>Fly</strong> Line in WF #8 & #9, with an aggressive but precise front taper allows<br />
for perfect short casting when sight fishing <strong>and</strong> ensures perfect turnover of<br />
large flies at distance too. The uprated 30lbs core giving the confidence to<br />
put the pressure on in closed spaces or open water <strong>and</strong> help hold on to that<br />
unforgettable fish of a lifetime. (See page 34)<br />
New 4th generation<br />
Deep Blue reels<br />
Having been missing from our range for a couple of seasons, <strong>and</strong> with<br />
our new Deep Blue Boat rods so well-received, we decided it was time to<br />
reintroduce a compact range of superb quality machined Deep Blue lever<br />
drag multiplier reels, designed upon our most faithful original Deep Blue<br />
style <strong>and</strong> with a performance to match. Initially available in 2 sizes, a 10 <strong>and</strong><br />
a 12, these reels provide the perfect reliable option for boat anglers whether<br />
fishing inshore for Bass or for those needing more capacity for wreck <strong>and</strong> reef<br />
fishing further afield. (See page 93)<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
<strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
Why construction <strong>and</strong> materials matter<br />
more than ever – <strong>and</strong> how to choose the<br />
perfect rod for your chosen style of fishing.<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS fly rod<br />
As with any sports equipment, fly rods have<br />
undergone a huge technological change in the<br />
past two decades. They have steadily evolved<br />
from early glass fibre rods, through the early days<br />
of carbon fibre to the highly technical carbon<br />
composites of today, including the very latest<br />
'Graphene resin technology' incorporated into<br />
our new <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS fly rods.<br />
Modern day carbon fibres are quite delicate,<br />
having little tensile strength in their natural state<br />
<strong>and</strong> epoxy resin alone is very brittle, once cured.<br />
However, encapsulating the fibres in an epoxy<br />
resin creates a composite of enormous strength<br />
<strong>and</strong> flexibility, further enhanced today by the<br />
incredible properties of graphene – each essential<br />
requirements for the modern rod designer.<br />
Carbon fibres are first woven into a cloth, or mat,<br />
which is pre-impregnated with epoxy resin, to bond<br />
all the fibres together, giving the finished material<br />
incredible strength once cured. This 'pre-preg' as<br />
it is called, is then wrapped under pressure around<br />
a tapered steel rod, known as a m<strong>and</strong>rel <strong>and</strong> then<br />
baked in an autoclave oven, under high pressure<br />
to ‘cure’ the epoxy resin <strong>and</strong> help force out any tiny<br />
pockets of air. Once set <strong>and</strong> cooled, the finished<br />
carbon fibre 'tube' is removed from the m<strong>and</strong>rel<br />
<strong>and</strong> the work of turning this into a finished fly rod<br />
blank can begin.<br />
The next question is then ground or unground?<br />
When the raw blank is removed from the m<strong>and</strong>rel,<br />
the natural surface weave or ribbing of the carbon<br />
fibres shows through, giving a slightly rough<br />
outer surface. If a gloss finish rod is required, this<br />
is ground off <strong>and</strong> a coloured varnish applied.<br />
However, if a matt finish rod is required, this surface<br />
is left unground, as with our Spectre-Pro range of<br />
rods, providing a performance <strong>and</strong> action, closer to<br />
the original design concept.<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> currently produce four different ranges<br />
of fly rods from the entry-level Classic range,<br />
starting at under £80, to our top of the range<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS models up to £500 <strong>and</strong> more. We<br />
are frequently asked... 'what’s the difference?'<br />
Fundamentally, this comes down to two things:<br />
1) The rod fittings <strong>and</strong> fixtures: Clearly the<br />
basic aluminium alloy reel seat used on the Classic<br />
range is a lot cheaper than the h<strong>and</strong>-made,<br />
lightweight silver/gold hard anodised aluminium<br />
reel seats used on the new <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS<br />
Graphene range, some featuring beautiful maple<br />
burl wood inserts, ensuring every rod is different<br />
<strong>and</strong> quite unique.<br />
2) The quality of the carbon fibre pre-preg<br />
<strong>and</strong> resin used: You will often hear or read<br />
about the 'modulus' of a carbon fibre rod. This<br />
is basically an abbreviation of 'Young's modulus<br />
of elasticity', which measures the resistance of a<br />
material to elastic (recoverable) deformation under<br />
load. A stiff material has a high Young's modulus<br />
Fast tip<br />
action<br />
Medium middle<br />
to tip action<br />
Slow through<br />
action<br />
See full terms <strong>and</strong><br />
conditions on page 97<br />
<strong>and</strong> changes its shape only slightly under elastic<br />
loads (e.g. diamond). A flexible material however,<br />
has a low Young's modulus <strong>and</strong> changes its shape<br />
considerably (eg rubber). Clearly a fly rod blank<br />
needs to sit part way between these two extremes<br />
<strong>and</strong> this is where the good modern rod designer<br />
comes into his own.<br />
A higher modulus blank, will have a faster<br />
action, a faster tip 'recovery' (the speed at which<br />
the blank returns to its original shape) <strong>and</strong> will<br />
generally be lighter. High modulus carbons are also<br />
more expensive to produce, so will generally be<br />
used for top-end rods, which will require a tip, or<br />
middle to tip action.<br />
At the other end of the scale, medium modulus<br />
carbon blanks are used for lower grade fly rods,<br />
where price is a consideration <strong>and</strong> a slightly slower,<br />
more forgiving action required.<br />
Most of the <strong>Snowbee</strong> range of fly rods, use a<br />
mix of different carbon fibre pre-pregs, to achieve<br />
the precise action required for that range.<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Rods //<br />
The Classic range uses predominantly, single 24<br />
ton carbon. The Diamond 2 range uses a mix of<br />
30 <strong>and</strong> 36 ton carbon, while on the Spectre ® Pro<br />
range, this is upgraded to a mix of 40 to 46 ton<br />
carbon.<br />
New Spectre ® Pro fly rods<br />
The new style Spectre ® Pro fly rods are a satin<br />
finish silver-grey colour, with distinctive black<br />
whipping finish throughout. They have a high<br />
quality, chrome finished, aluminium reel seat<br />
<strong>and</strong> double up-locking rings on all models. The<br />
range also includes our first ever 9ft 6in #6wt,<br />
introduced by popular dem<strong>and</strong> for the Stillwater<br />
anglers in particular, looking to lighten their daylong<br />
work load <strong>and</strong> presentation, but still obtain<br />
optimum presentation, with distance casting still<br />
easily achievable. Starting at under £280, these<br />
exceptional new rods are poised to take the<br />
stillwater <strong>and</strong> river markets by storm!<br />
All our ‘multi-modulus’ blanks, use our well<br />
proven ‘<strong>Snowbee</strong> Tri-modulus carbon’ technology,<br />
where a subtle blend of different modulus<br />
carbons are used through the blank, to achieve<br />
the precise action we require. The new <strong>Prestige</strong><br />
G-XS Graphene range, uses only 46 ton carbon,<br />
but significantly uses graphene nano resin<br />
throughout, which provides the incredible <strong>and</strong><br />
unique properties these rods have. Graphene is an<br />
amazing new discovery <strong>and</strong> a real game changer<br />
where used, extremely light <strong>and</strong> reputedly 200<br />
times stronger than steel!<br />
Choosing a fly rod<br />
This is very much a personal thing, as one fly rod<br />
will not suit everyone. The first <strong>and</strong> most obvious<br />
consideration is budget – how much you want to<br />
spend on a rod which is often misconstrued by<br />
many fly fisherman. A more expensive rod, doesn’t<br />
necessarily make you a better caster! If your casting<br />
is a bit ‘rusty’ or could do with some ‘polishing up’,<br />
then better to spend less on a rod <strong>and</strong> spend the<br />
difference on some professional casting lessons with<br />
an approved instructor! There are also several<br />
free <strong>and</strong> very useful videos we have put together<br />
which many have now used to help improve<br />
their casting. We cover some of the simple<br />
techniques <strong>and</strong> pitfalls <strong>and</strong> there’s even one<br />
featuring the ‘double haul’. www.snowbee.co.uk<br />
You then need to take into account the type & style<br />
of fly fishing you wish to do. If predominantly small<br />
river work <strong>and</strong> short distances, then a slower action<br />
rod is ideal. We would generally call this a middle,<br />
or ‘through-action’ rod. Larger rivers <strong>and</strong> small<br />
stillwaters, will generally require a slightly longer<br />
rod, with a faster, middle, or middle to tip action.<br />
Large stillwaters <strong>and</strong> reservoirs, where distance<br />
casting is often required, will generally require rods,<br />
with a fast, middle to tip, or tip action. A fast action<br />
rod, will allow the caster to generate the higher line<br />
speed in the air <strong>and</strong> tighter line loops required for<br />
maximum distance casting. Bear in mind however,<br />
that the faster the action of a rod, the more ‘timing<br />
critical’ it becomes to cast <strong>and</strong> therefore requires<br />
more advanced casting skills to get the best from<br />
it. Boat fishing also makes up a lot of the Stillwater<br />
fishing activity. Here a longer rod is advantageous<br />
<strong>and</strong> again, actions are critical. These will generally<br />
have a slower action, as distance casting is not so<br />
necessary, but lighter, more precise presentation is<br />
of greater importance.<br />
Single-h<strong>and</strong>ed fly rods<br />
Follow these general guidelines for your fly rod<br />
length <strong>and</strong> line weight:<br />
Freshwater<br />
• Small rivers <strong>and</strong> streams, for trout<br />
7ft - 9ft #1 - #5 Wt.<br />
• Larger rivers, for trout <strong>and</strong> grayling<br />
9ft -10ft #3 - #6 Wt.<br />
• Medium to large rivers for sea trout <strong>and</strong> light<br />
salmon 9ft -11ft #6 - #8 Wt.<br />
• Small stillwaters for brown trout <strong>and</strong> rainbows<br />
9ft -10ft #5 - #7 Wt.<br />
• Large reservoirs for brown trout <strong>and</strong> rainbows<br />
9ft -10ft #5 - #8 Wt.<br />
Saltwater<br />
• UK saltwater <strong>and</strong> flats bonefish 9ft #7 - #10 Wt.<br />
Also take into account the rod action, as<br />
detailed above, which is an indication of the way<br />
the rod flexes in response to both casting <strong>and</strong><br />
playing a fish. A fast action rod can generate<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS Doubleh<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
Salmon Rod<br />
higher line speeds required for extreme distance<br />
casting, allowing a talented caster to have great<br />
line <strong>and</strong> loop control. The faster tip ‘recovery’,<br />
when distance casting, will reduce ‘ripples’ down<br />
the line <strong>and</strong> improve the line’s flight through the air.<br />
Be aware though, as the stiffer tips are less flexible<br />
<strong>and</strong> can, especially with non-stretch lines, ‘bounce’<br />
fish off the hook, so more care is required, when<br />
playing fish.<br />
Less able casters may find it hard to get the<br />
timing of their cast correct, with a fast action rod,<br />
so can be better rewarded with a rod of a more<br />
moderate action. For general small river <strong>and</strong><br />
stillwater trout fishing, it is better to choose a<br />
rod with a middle to tip action, which can be less<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>ing to cast <strong>and</strong> better for roll casting <strong>and</strong><br />
fishing at short range.<br />
Double-h<strong>and</strong>ed fly rods<br />
Very often, newcomers to salmon fishing, assume<br />
that a double-h<strong>and</strong>ed rod is always required – it is<br />
not. There are many situations, on smaller rivers,<br />
fishing for sea-trout or grilse, where a singleh<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
rod, of say 10ft #7 Wt., is more than<br />
adequate.<br />
As you move up to slightly larger rivers however,<br />
you are frequently in between the need for a singleh<strong>and</strong>ed<br />
rod, or a full, double-h<strong>and</strong>ed Spey rod.<br />
This is exactly why 'Switch Rods' were developed<br />
on the North West coasts of the USA <strong>and</strong> Canada.<br />
A Switch rod is light enough to use single-h<strong>and</strong>ed,<br />
but where required, can be used two-h<strong>and</strong>ed, for<br />
greater distance <strong>and</strong> control, or where bankside<br />
vegetation, requires a Spey casting style.<br />
As you move onto larger, more powerful rivers,<br />
double-h<strong>and</strong>ers come into their own. You often<br />
need to lift longer lengths of line, control <strong>and</strong> mend<br />
the line as it crosses the current <strong>and</strong> frequently fish<br />
with larger, heavier lines <strong>and</strong> flies. Over the past few<br />
years, as carbon technology has improved, we have<br />
seen the length of two-h<strong>and</strong>ed salmon rods reduce<br />
however, as greater power can now be achieved,<br />
with shorter, lighter rods <strong>and</strong> shooting head style<br />
fly lines. We therefore now only make the two most<br />
popular traditional models at 13ft #8/9 <strong>and</strong> the<br />
14ft #9/10, which are more than adequate for most<br />
salmon fishing situations.<br />
Again, fly line consideration <strong>and</strong> fishing<br />
location are critical <strong>and</strong> for the travelling angler,<br />
a convenient multi-piece rod, like our 5 & 6-pce<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS <strong>and</strong> the Spectre Switch <strong>and</strong> Salmon<br />
rods, may well be a more convenient option, than<br />
their 4-pce predecessors.<br />

then anodised them for corrosion<br />
resistance, especially in saltwater.<br />

are fashioned from the very finest quality,<br />
super-grade North American cork available. All butt<br />
extensions <strong>and</strong> lower h<strong>and</strong>les are tipped with a rubber<br />
composite cork, for additional wear <strong>and</strong> protection. The salmon<br />
rods are all finished in a dark, lustrous teal/blue, with a combined<br />
self-colour <strong>and</strong> silver whip finish. There are two large lined stripper rings<br />
<strong>and</strong> high-lift snake rings throughout with each section spot marked for a<br />
perfect line up. The 13ft <strong>and</strong> 14ft models also have whip markings to 110cm,<br />
to help quickly assess the weight <strong>and</strong> size of bigger fish without the need to<br />
remove them from the water.<br />
11’ #8 Double-h<strong>and</strong>ed Switch <strong>Fly</strong> Rod (5-pce)<br />
Designed for double-h<strong>and</strong>ed use on lakes <strong>and</strong> rivers, this often referred to ‘Switch’ style rod, exhibits all the power reserves of the <strong>Prestige</strong> Graphene G-XS<br />
range. Still light enough to be cast single-h<strong>and</strong>ed, as well as for purposely light double-h<strong>and</strong>ed use. Great on smaller rivers for large trout, sea-trout <strong>and</strong> grilse<br />
or from the boat. These rods are so light <strong>and</strong> versatile, you can use them for almost anything <strong>and</strong> they possess deceptive <strong>and</strong> responsive reserves of casting <strong>and</strong><br />
fish playing power, typical of the entire <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS range.<br />
13’ #8/9 Double-h<strong>and</strong>ed Salmon <strong>Fly</strong> Rod (6 pce)<br />
Traditional double-h<strong>and</strong>ed rod but in lighter weight than the 14ft model.<br />
Perfect for lighter lines <strong>and</strong> throwing short heads a long, long way <strong>and</strong> all day<br />
if necessary, with effortless <strong>and</strong> utterly deceptive ease. Great for multi-tip <strong>and</strong><br />
multi-density, short-head fly lines especially <strong>and</strong> the popular choice of the<br />
successful, modern day salmon angler.<br />
14’ #9/10 Double-h<strong>and</strong>ed Salmon <strong>Fly</strong> Rod (6 pce)<br />
The daddy in the range, with the prototype having already accounted for<br />
fish over 20lbs in testing of the early samples, across the biggest <strong>and</strong> best<br />
rivers of Scotl<strong>and</strong>. The power <strong>and</strong> recovery, as with all the Graphene rods<br />
is awesome, with the blank flexing all the way through the h<strong>and</strong>le when<br />
required. Suitable for longer head traditional spey lines, but purposely<br />
designed for the most modern of short-head skagit <strong>and</strong> shooting-head fly<br />
lines, to achieve maximum distance <strong>and</strong> extreme depth, with fast sinking<br />
tips <strong>and</strong> heavy flies where required.<br />

all waters.<br />
Same construction as the models above, except for a longer butt extension to<br />
assist when playing larger fish. The perfect choice for playing the likes of bigger<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS<br />
Graphene <strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
Over the years, fly rod technology has taken occasional quantum<br />
leaps forward. First the move from split cane to fibreglass; then the<br />
next move to carbon fibre, <strong>and</strong> now, the latest development –<br />
Graphene! This amazing new technology really is a<br />
‘game changer’ <strong>and</strong> propels <strong>Snowbee</strong> to the top of the<br />
leader board, in terms of performance <strong>and</strong> innovation.<br />

Graphene was first discovered <strong>and</strong> isolated in 2010,<br />
by two researchers in the Physics Department of<br />
Manchester University, who went on to be awarded<br />
the Nobel Prize for Physics, for their discovery.<br />
Graphene really is a game-changer. In its raw<br />
form it consists of a two-dimensional, carbon<br />
sheet just one atom thick, yet 200 times stronger<br />
than steel! It is the lightest material on earth <strong>and</strong><br />
at the molecular level, Graphene is one million<br />
times smaller than the diameter of a human hair!<br />
Apart from its strength, another important feature<br />
of Graphene is its flexibility. In fly rod production,<br />
Graphene powder is added to the epoxy resins to<br />
enhance inherent properties such as tensile strength<br />
<strong>and</strong> flexibility.<br />
A few years ago the latest technology was Nano Carbon<br />
rods. The principle was that the smaller, 'round profile' nano<br />
molecules added to the epoxy resin, were able to penetrate<br />
every void within the carbon fibre mat, far better than long-chain<br />
epoxy resin molecules. This innovation to reinforce resins, created a<br />
pre-preg material, with a flexural strength <strong>and</strong> modulus, far higher than that<br />
of conventional resin. This resulted in fly rod blanks that were lighter, crisper<br />
<strong>and</strong> more precise in action than anything previously achievable <strong>and</strong> a blank so<br />
close to 'unbreakable' in normal use as it is possible to achieve.<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS <strong>Fly</strong> Rod<br />
<strong>and</strong> Spectre Reel<br />
This principle has been taken one stage further, with the new Graphene resin<br />
technology, as Graphene atoms are 300 times smaller than the smallest<br />
nanoparticle, resulting in an even denser carbon mat, with virtually no air<br />
pockets, enhanced by the use of autoclave ovens, which ‘bake’ the<br />
blanks under high pressure, to further expel any air pockets.<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Rods //<br />
Spectre ® Pro <strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
The amazing Spectre ® <strong>Fly</strong> Rod range have<br />
been upgraded to incorporate the very latest<br />
thinking in fly rod design <strong>and</strong> performance.<br />
The 'holy grail' of fly rod design has always been to achieve that light, effortless feel<br />
that belies the hidden power of the blank, often exhibited by the world’s top br<strong>and</strong>s,<br />
but with a price tag to match. Working closely with our fly rod designers <strong>and</strong> factory,<br />
we have managed to achieve just that, but at a price which seems impossible for<br />
rods of this quality <strong>and</strong> performance!<br />
The all new Spectre ® Pro rods use the very latest carbon fibre technology <strong>and</strong> build on the<br />
past performance of their predecessors. For many years <strong>Snowbee</strong> have used ‘multi-modulus’<br />
carbon technology varying the tensile modulus of the carbon fibre, through the blank,<br />
allowing us to precisely design <strong>and</strong> control the stiffness <strong>and</strong> flex in each section, as well as the<br />
important recovery speed of the tip. Using predominantly 40 ton carbon fibre with a small<br />
amount of 36 ton, we have achieved the precise, crisp, middle-to-tip action we required,<br />
through careful manipulation of the resin formulation <strong>and</strong> carbon fibre scrim.<br />
The blanks are left ‘un-ground’ with a natural finish, leaving the original matt lay-up of the<br />
double helical hoop pattern intact, adding strength to the blank, making it far more durable,<br />
whilst still providing the desired enhanced performance. The satin finish, silver/grey blank,<br />
helps eliminate ‘rod flash’, whilst the contrasting black whippings, with subtle silver trim, give<br />
these rods a contemporary finish <strong>and</strong> ‘understated’ look. To keep weight to a minimum, we<br />
have used lightweight machined aluminium reel seats, with carbon fibre inserts <strong>and</strong> a silver<br />
anodised finish. Each rod in the range has a small rubber-cork fighting butt <strong>and</strong> comes in a<br />
quality self-colour cotton drill rod bag, plus matching Cordura covered rod tube.<br />
10268 Spectre ® Pro (Saltwater/Predator) <strong>Fly</strong> Rod 9' #8<br />
With the ever increasing popularity of saltwater bonefish, carp <strong>and</strong> pike fly fishing, the<br />
Saltwater/Predator model is top of the Spectre range. The blanks have steeper tapers<br />
<strong>and</strong> thicker wall profiles to h<strong>and</strong>le the larger, more powerful fish likely to be encountered.<br />
Lightweight machined aluminium reel seat <strong>and</strong> high chrome guides make the Spectre SP<br />
st<strong>and</strong> out.<br />

delicate presentation when seeking ‘spooky’ fish.<br />

allowing those extra few yards to reach the fish previously<br />
just out of range.<br />
10265 Spectre ® Pro <strong>Fly</strong> Rod 10' #5<br />

#6 model is designed for more general loch style fishing for<br />
brown <strong>and</strong> rainbow trout, when a more powerful rod is required.<br />

Diamond 2 <strong>Fly</strong> Rods<br />
Since 1994 the name Diamond <strong>Fly</strong> has been<br />
synonymous with <strong>Snowbee</strong> <strong>and</strong> has built a loyal<br />
following amongst fly fishers.<br />
Our top-selling Diamond 2 range incorporates the very latest thinking in<br />
fly rod design <strong>and</strong> material technology. The rods retain the same crisp,<br />
middle-to-tip action of their predecessors <strong>and</strong> still represent exceptional<br />
value for money for a rod of this quality. Using our well-tried<br />
‘Tri-modulus carbon’ technology produces a blank that is fast <strong>and</strong> light.<br />
These rods compete on performance with the market leaders, but are<br />
infinitely more affordable. Using the finest quality materials we spared<br />
nothing in producing the best looking, best fishing 4-piece fly rods<br />
we could achieve at this price. The range has been designed<br />
with a particular fishing application in mind. In addition to<br />
river, small stillwater <strong>and</strong> reservoir rods, we also have<br />
longer, lower line weight models, appealing to river<br />

saltwater <strong>and</strong> predatory fish in mind. The steeper taper on the rod<br />
blank, coupled with a thicker blank wall, allows these rods to cope<br />
with the best of the powerful fish likely to be encountered! Equally<br />

Reels<br />
XS Salmon <strong>and</strong> Saltwater <strong>Fly</strong> Reels<br />
22 years ago we launched the original XS fly reels; our<br />
first CNC-machined fly reel manufactured to our design<br />
by British <strong>Fly</strong> Reels (BFR) in Falmouth, UK. These<br />
ground-breaking reels won every 'Best New <strong>Fly</strong> Reel'<br />
review two years running. We felt the time was<br />
right to resurrect the 'XS' name for a new, top of<br />
the range fly reel – so here they are!<br />
These new reels started with a simple design concept <strong>and</strong> resulted<br />
in the polished new product of today which moves us into a different<br />
league, in terms of technology <strong>and</strong> performance.<br />
XS fly reel #7/9<br />
back detail<br />
The design brief was for a range of reels, with which the world’s fly fishers could<br />
take on the best that the largest rivers <strong>and</strong> widest oceans could throw at them...<br />
<strong>and</strong> win! These sensational looking reels feature a precision milled CNC body <strong>and</strong><br />
spool to reduce weight to the absolute minimum,<br />
whilst retaining massive strength. The powerful<br />
multi-disc drag system incorporates a combination<br />
of stainless steel, composite <strong>and</strong> carbon fibre discs,<br />
which delivers a silky-smooth drag performance<br />
with near zero start-up inertia. This has taken<br />
the hugely effective design <strong>and</strong> performance<br />
of those original XS reels made at BFR to new<br />
levels, by using modern materials <strong>and</strong> with a<br />
modern finish to match, with added weight<br />
saving <strong>and</strong> performance. A fine-pitch, detented<br />
drag adjustment allows constant minute<br />
increases in drag pressure as required, from<br />
zero to the max with infinite control, plus the<br />
whole drag assembly is then completely sealed<br />
for saltwater use <strong>and</strong> protection by means of<br />
silicone O-rings.<br />
10570 XS <strong>Fly</strong> Reel #7/9<br />
The first choice for the best of saltwater bonefish, jacks, permit <strong>and</strong> smaller<br />
tarpon, or bass <strong>and</strong> pollock closer to home, <strong>and</strong> light enough to be the<br />
perfect partner to the exceptional new Graphene saltwater rods. Also ideal<br />
when matched with the smaller Spey or Switch rods for when using lighter<br />
lines salmon or sea-trout fishing.<br />
Diameter: 4”/ 102 mm Weight: 180g (6.3oz)<br />
XS fly reel #7/9<br />
front detail<br />
10571 XS <strong>Fly</strong> Reel #9/11<br />
The #9/11 model has a class-leading line capacity, which will comfortably swallow<br />
a long-belly Spey line with ample backing to spare. Whether your target species<br />
is Atlantic or Pacific salmon on the fastest of rivers, sailfish <strong>and</strong> tuna on the world’s<br />
oceans, or monster Tarpon in tropical mangroves, this powerful reel will cope<br />
comfortably with it’s amazing drag system delivering up to 6.8kg (15lb) of drag.<br />

Reels //<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> Gold <strong>Fly</strong> Reels<br />
To complement our class-leading <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS fly rods the <strong>Prestige</strong> Gold fly reels provide<br />
an ultra-lightweight reel option for superb balance on today’s lightweight carbon fly rods.<br />
Precision CNC-machined from solid, high grade aircraft aluminium bar stock. The CNC design<br />
programming ensures that the maximum amount of metal is removed, for the lightest weight possible<br />
whilst retaining optimum strength <strong>and</strong> rigidity. These precision reels are fitted with a sealed, multi-disc<br />
cork <strong>and</strong> stainless steel centre drag, which offers powerful drag performance<br />
to cope with the hardest running fish. However, the multi-disc design provides<br />
minimal start-up inertia to prevent break-offs with ‘smash takes’ <strong>and</strong> allows the use<br />
of the finest tippets. The large arbor design allows faster retrieve, more consistent<br />
drag performance <strong>and</strong> minimal line memory. Internal parts, such as the main<br />
spindle <strong>and</strong> clutch bearing, are manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion<br />
resistance even in salt-water, while the precision one-way roller clutch bearing<br />
provides instant drag control when that ‘smash take’ catches you by surprise.<br />
The hard gold anodised finish provides superb saltwater <strong>and</strong> chip resistance. The<br />
comfortable spool h<strong>and</strong>le <strong>and</strong> counter weight are machined from aluminium <strong>and</strong><br />
hard anodised in a contrasting black colour.<br />
Due to popular dem<strong>and</strong>, we have now introduced versions of the original <strong>Prestige</strong> Gold <strong>Fly</strong> Reels, but<br />
with the convenience of quick-change Cassette Spools.<br />

Spectre <strong>Fly</strong> Reels<br />
Our range of Spectre reels are ultralightweight,<br />
precision CNC machined<br />
aluminium reels at an amazing price!<br />
Machined from high grade, aircraft aluminium bar stock, the<br />
unique design removes the maximum amount of metal,<br />
whilst retaining optimum strength <strong>and</strong> rigidity, for an<br />
ultra-lightweight <strong>and</strong> better rod/reel balance.<br />
The multi-disc cork <strong>and</strong> stainless steel centre drag, offers<br />
superb performance with minimal start-up inertia, while<br />
the large arbor design allows faster retrieve, more<br />
consistent drag performance <strong>and</strong> minimal line memory.<br />
The stainless steel main spindle coupled with the oneway<br />
roller clutch bearing, provides instant drag control<br />
when that ‘smash take’ catches you by surprise.<br />
The extended range covers all requirements from the smallest<br />
brook fishing up to salmon, sea-trout <strong>and</strong> saltwater. Complete<br />
with a neoprene reel case this range offers unmatched<br />
performance <strong>and</strong> great value for money.<br />

Onyx <strong>Fly</strong> Reels<br />
A new dimension in fly reel design<br />
<strong>and</strong> technology.<br />
The main reel frame <strong>and</strong> spool are made from<br />
lightweight, durable die-cast aluminium <strong>and</strong><br />
finished on a precision CNC machine, so you<br />
get the best of both worlds – the finish, feel<br />
<strong>and</strong> precision of a CNC machined reel, but at a<br />
die-cast price. The large arbor design gives faster<br />
line retrieve, more consistent drag performance<br />
<strong>and</strong> minimal line memory. Add to this a multidisc,<br />
centre drag system <strong>and</strong> you have a fly reel<br />
which performs way above its expectations at this<br />
price level. The cork <strong>and</strong> stainless steel drag discs<br />
provide a smooth, powerful drag performance,<br />
with minimal start-up inertia to avoid those<br />
‘smash-takes’.<br />
In a range of sizes from the #3/4 model for the<br />
smallest brook rod, to a powerful #9/11 salmon<br />
model. The #5/7 <strong>and</strong> #7/9 models come with an<br />
easy-change cassette spool system.<br />
Features<br />
• CNC machine finished, die-cast aluminium frame<br />
<strong>and</strong> spool • Large arbor design • Extra hard paint<br />
finish for salt-water <strong>and</strong> chip resistance • Multidisc<br />
cork <strong>and</strong> stainless steel centre drag system<br />

Diameter: 2.9”/74mm Weight: 121g<br />
10540 Onyx #9/11<br />
The #9/11 model is aimed at the<br />
salmon/sea-trout angler, looking for<br />
good line capacity, coupled with a<br />
smooth, powerful drag, capable of<br />
taming hard-running fish. The #9/11<br />
delivers on all counts!<br />

saving of multiple spare spools. The cassette spools are moulded in<br />
a flexible polycarbonate which allows them to flex rather than crack<br />
under extreme strain. The generous backing capacity makes these<br />
reels ideal for both river fishing <strong>and</strong> small still waters.<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Lines //<br />
Classic <strong>Fly</strong> Lines <strong>and</strong> Classic Kits<br />
For many years <strong>Snowbee</strong> has produced some of the best quality fly lines on the world market.<br />
Our range includes a small, economy priced range of Classic lines, aimed at the budget conscious<br />
angler, or beginners to the sport.<br />
The <strong>Snowbee</strong> Classic fly lines have a great profile <strong>and</strong> construction from a company with the greatest pedigree in fly line production. Most have a slightly<br />
shorter head <strong>and</strong> steeper tapers than the traditional weight forward XS fly lines, designed to assist the newcomer with essential timing <strong>and</strong> turnover.<br />
Easy to cast, these lines offer good, reliable performance <strong>and</strong> make an exceptional entry level, or Combi Outfit Line.<br />
Classic Trout All WF profile: available in 30 yard (90ft) trout line options:<br />
WFCF FLOATING - pale yellow (WF4 - WF8)<br />
WFCI INTERMEDIATE - (1.75-2.25 ips) - mid-blue (WF5 - WF8)<br />
WFCFS FAST-SINK - dark green/grey (WF5 - WF8) in the same popular weight<br />
forward tapers as the other two, these lines are a joy to cast <strong>and</strong> get down to the<br />
fish fast with a sink rate of 4-4.5 ips.<br />

line in exactly the same profile as the popular XS-Plus <strong>Prestige</strong> Switch, but in a<br />

This new line will manage <strong>and</strong> turnover small or larger flies <strong>and</strong> is ideal on<br />
small to medium sized rivers. Add one of our 5ft Poly-Coated leaders (p85), in<br />
a range of densities for the perfect presentation, whatever the water level.<br />

Having had to revise <strong>and</strong> move our fly line production, due to the issues<br />
caused worldwide by the Covid p<strong>and</strong>emic, production was seriously<br />
affected for a while <strong>and</strong> forced us to make some essential changes. At<br />
the point of having to make the changes, we also chose to rationalise the<br />
whole range <strong>and</strong> take out a number of lines that were similar in design to<br />
one another. We took out all the older Countdown lines <strong>and</strong> added two of<br />
the most popular size sink-tip lines, with a longer 10ft Buzzer 2 Sink-Tip,<br />
plus a further faster sinking 10ft Sink-tip in the superb casting Spectre<br />
Distance range. An important addition as Sink-Tip fishing has become such<br />
a popular <strong>and</strong> diverse style of fishing today.<br />
We’ve replaced the Neutral Density with a two colour XS Hover Slow<br />
Intermediate, plus extended the XS single colour range, to include two new<br />
sub-surface lines. We’ve also condensed the Salmon <strong>and</strong> Saltwater ranges<br />
<strong>and</strong> have full production on all lines once again. The results have given us a<br />
more compact range across all lines but still providing an ideal choice for every<br />
situation.<br />
New advances in Nano Coating Technology (NCT) have also enabled us to<br />
produce the smoothest, most supple <strong>and</strong> longest lasting fly lines in over 30<br />
years of fly line production. The latest generation of XS <strong>and</strong> XS-Plus fly lines<br />
however, have an even finer finish than we’ve been able to achieve before,<br />
helping them to not only cast better, as they travel silently through the rod<br />
rings <strong>and</strong> cut cleaner through the air, but also more durable, increasing the<br />
life of all our lines still further. The result <strong>and</strong> general feedback so far has been<br />
outst<strong>and</strong>ing, <strong>and</strong> combining our unique, bespoke material <strong>and</strong> design profiles,<br />
have now enhanced even the best lines we have ever produced.<br />
If you thought our previous range of lines were good – just wait until you try these!<br />
Classic <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
The first group of <strong>Snowbee</strong> fly lines<br />
are the Classic series. Each in a weight<br />
forward profile <strong>and</strong> single colour only,<br />
with characteristically shorter heads<br />
than the XS <strong>and</strong> XS-Plus ranges,<br />
aimed more specifically at the budget<br />
conscious or newcomer, just starting<br />
out in fly fishing.<br />
XS-Plus <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
Our fly lines are currently broken<br />
down into three main groups with the<br />
popular XS-Plus recognised as our<br />
flagship top of the range, with a wider<br />
selection than our st<strong>and</strong>ard XS. The<br />
XS-Plus are all two-colour options, in<br />
a range of weight forward bespoke<br />
profiles, designed specifically for their<br />
specialist applications <strong>and</strong> form the<br />
major group of our <strong>Snowbee</strong> fly lines<br />
today. This includes the Twin Colours,<br />
Spectre Distance <strong>and</strong> Thistledown,<br />
plus all the Salmon <strong>and</strong> Saltwater XS-<br />
Plus fly lines.<br />
XS <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
The XS range use exactly the same materials in<br />
production but each of the XS fly lines are the<br />
same st<strong>and</strong>ard length at 90ft <strong>and</strong> a st<strong>and</strong>ard XS<br />
profile in single colour only. Our traditional XS<br />
Ivory <strong>and</strong> Hi-Viz floating fly lines, have formed<br />
our core products since their first development<br />
over 30 years ago <strong>and</strong> continue to do so, with their<br />
characteristic profile <strong>and</strong> instantly recognisable<br />
livery. Added to the XS range late last year, were<br />
two sinking options, an Intermediate (2.5ips)<br />
<strong>and</strong> a Fast-Sink (5ips) line, to provide everything<br />
needed for a good day out on the water, searching<br />
the depths for those elusive fish! We also have a<br />
traditional single colour floating Double Taper line<br />
in the XS range by popular dem<strong>and</strong>, we have the<br />
return of the XS Delicate Presentation line.<br />

<strong>Snowbee</strong> XS <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
Designed by us over 30 years ago <strong>and</strong> still reputedly<br />
the best traditional fly line on the market today.<br />
The secret behind the legendary performance of the <strong>Snowbee</strong> XS <strong>Fly</strong> Lines has been the unique<br />
coating formula <strong>and</strong> profile, in conjunction with the classic low-stretch core, producing the most<br />
supple <strong>and</strong> memory free performance the line is renowned for. Many have tried <strong>and</strong> failed to<br />
replicate this formula, but there is still only one ‘original’ <strong>Snowbee</strong> XS fly line.<br />
Over the years there have been minor changes in production <strong>and</strong> our Nano-Technology is a winning<br />
formula across the range with its unmistakeable profile <strong>and</strong> suppleness. In using this new technology, we<br />
have refined the original formula <strong>and</strong> manufacturing techniques to enhance the already superb, supple,<br />
memory-free performance so loved by fly fishers worldwide. For many years the <strong>Snowbee</strong> XS Ivory<br />
Floating has been our top selling line, <strong>and</strong> reputation has it as still the best-selling floating line in the UK.<br />
If you don’t already know why… just try one <strong>and</strong> you will soon find out!<br />

XS Sub-Surface <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
Exactly the same design <strong>and</strong> profile as the 90ft XS floating lines these both cast<br />
superbly, with each performing according to their density make up.<br />
Great for moderate distances with every cast on any matching weight of fly rod <strong>and</strong><br />
built to the same exacting st<strong>and</strong>ards as all the ‘XS’ Nano fly lines BUT providing a<br />
cost saving as only in single colour <strong>and</strong> of st<strong>and</strong>ard 90ft format.<br />
WFI XS Intermediate (Sink rate 2.5ips) Aqua – WF5-WF8<br />
Combining the original Kelly Blue <strong>and</strong> Clear Intermediate into one fly line has produced a fly<br />
line of effortless, slick casting ability, being exactly the same as the traditional XS floating in profile.<br />
Distance <strong>and</strong> presentation are therefore guaranteed, at a sink rate ideal to reliably search the water from<br />
the surface down, especially with lures, damsels <strong>and</strong> other mobile patterns. A hugely versatile line, great<br />
for loch style fishing from the boat or accurately exploring all holding spots from the bank, without the<br />
need for a massive clear back-cast when space is tight. Great in the wind too in a neutral Aqua shade, to<br />
hunt beneath the surface <strong>and</strong> find fish cruising or holding lower down but not necessarily on the bottom.<br />

The very slim, hardly discernible weight forward profile of this uniform fast sinking line, enables excellent<br />
distance to be achieved easily when needing to get range <strong>and</strong> depth to present flies in the target zone. Low<br />
stretch core also enables excellent sensitivity but does not exhibit the issue of other fast sinking lines that can<br />
be non-stretch <strong>and</strong> have a tendency to ‘bounce’ fish off especially when fishing barbless. The slick, Nano-<br />
Tec coating is deceptively smooth <strong>and</strong> provides a great line for ‘fishing the hang’ or boobies, effortlessly<br />
controlled close along the bottom, or achieving quick depth in a big blow without a long <strong>and</strong> difficult cast!<br />

XS-Plus Thistledown 2 <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
Our unique, super-fine profile range of<br />
lines defy logic... how can ONE line weight<br />
work on a range of rod weights? Believe us,<br />
when we say they do! Try them, for the best<br />
‘thistledown’ presentation you will ever<br />
have experienced!<br />
Underst<strong>and</strong>ing just how it works is another story, because when<br />
it states #2-5wt there really is only one single line that can <strong>and</strong><br />
does function amazingly on all weight rods, whether they be a<br />
#2, #3, #4 or #5wt! 'How?' is the question everybody asks. Well it<br />
comes down to simple physics, as the new <strong>and</strong> refined components<br />
of this line combine to give the thinnest, most supple, weight<br />
forward profile possible, that correspondingly weighs very little<br />
<strong>and</strong> delivers incredible stealth <strong>and</strong> accuracy at the same time. The<br />
ultra-thin diameter, roughly half that of a conventional fly line,<br />
creates minimal drag when casting. That means the line speed can<br />
be maintained throughout the casting action <strong>and</strong> delivers the fly or<br />
flies precisely where required, with the minimum effort possible.<br />
As its drag coefficient is so low, even in a strong cross-wind this line<br />
will cut through it to deliver the fly exactly where intended.<br />
The amazing ‘Thistledown’ was primarily designed for the river <strong>and</strong> light fishing on small stillwaters but is now a regular companion on almost<br />
any application where an angler enjoys finesse, stealth <strong>and</strong> accuracy. Thistledown is two-tone in colour, Shamrock Olive head with a Buckskin<br />
running line <strong>and</strong> 90ft in total length. The short 34.5ft head has a long, compound front taper <strong>and</strong> slender running line behind for effortless<br />
casting <strong>and</strong> extended presentation, to attain whatever range is necessary. The ultra-thin profile, combined with the super-smooth Nano<br />
coating helps maintain line speed <strong>and</strong> if used for nymphing, also provides extreme sensitivity. Both ends are pre-looped, with micro welded<br />
loops (left), to maintain the line’s outst<strong>and</strong>ing performance, so it is ready to go, straight from the box.<br />
WFTD XS-Plus Thistledown 2 <strong>Fly</strong> Line Floating<br />
Two lines: Both Olive /Buckskin #2-5wt <strong>and</strong> #5–7wt<br />
The original Thistledown fly line is still one of our fastest selling lines, as more<br />
<strong>and</strong> more anglers come to appreciate the advantages of using a Thistledown<br />
line, which soon resulted in the development of the stunningly successful #5-7wt<br />
option. Technology has also moved on, with the introduction of an even finer<br />
braided core allowing us to apply a thicker coating, whilst still maintaining the<br />
same overall diameter, providing an even higher floating line than the original<br />
models.<br />

“I first used a <strong>Snowbee</strong> XS line many years ago on the river Teign. It was like nothing I had used before, soft, supple, totally<br />
memory free <strong>and</strong> effortless to cast the fly wherever I needed it. I then discovered there was a whole range of nearly 50 XS lines<br />
of similar superb quality. Suddenly my whole fly fishing experience became transformed... now today that technology has moved<br />
on yet again. The new Thistledown <strong>and</strong> its derivatives are quite extraordinary, marking the introduction of a whole new era in<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> fly line technology <strong>and</strong> performance.”<br />

XS-Plus <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
All these lines are made to the same exacting profile as the XS fly lines but in instantly recognisable<br />
twin colours, where the density or profile changes. With an extended 'bleed' between colour/<br />
density change, this also means that the sink-tips avoid inherent ‘hinging’ or ‘kick’, so often<br />
associated with some sink-tip fly lines, thus ensuring excellent presentation <strong>and</strong> turnover.<br />
WFFTC XS-Plus Twin Colour Floating<br />

The original <strong>Snowbee</strong> twin colour fly line, first used by casting instructors <strong>and</strong><br />

using the very latest in nano-coating technology. The best of the <strong>Snowbee</strong><br />

XS-Plus Buzzer Sink-Tip <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
Whether buzzer fishing, nymphing, retrieving small lures or sea trout<br />
fishing after dark, these two lines offer superb control for perfect<br />
casting <strong>and</strong> fly presentation, when wanting to fish in or just beneath<br />
the surface. They offer minimal stretch for ultimate feel, but enough<br />
to prevent bounce off that can result from non-stretch lines. They also<br />
help massively when buzzer fishing, to convert ‘taps’ <strong>and</strong> ‘takes’ to<br />
‘fish-on!’, as the fish can hook themselves with a more direct contact<br />
to the fly <strong>and</strong> the low resistance created from being just beneath the<br />
surface, even before you may have felt them.<br />

WFHI XS-Plus ‘Hover’ Slow Intermediate<br />
(sink rate 1-1.5ips) Mustard/Ivory, WF #5, 6, 7 & 8<br />
The super slow, uniform sink rate of this line is designed to ‘hang’ sub-surface,<br />
hence the name. Some slow sinking lines simply sink too quickly <strong>and</strong> fall below<br />
invisible fish feeding just beneath the surface. Sink-tip lines can be an option,<br />
but this fishes slowly <strong>and</strong> evenly throughout its entire head length, offering<br />
exceptional control having first cut through the surface film. It then sinks very<br />
slowly with continuing immense control <strong>and</strong> combines all the benefits of the<br />
Neutral Density <strong>and</strong> Kelly Blue lines before it. The delightful memory-free finish,<br />
low stretch <strong>and</strong> super sensitive core with floating running line, keeps you in perfect<br />
touch <strong>and</strong> feel in all conditions. There is barely a line made today to match it.<br />

Teal Blue/Ivory WF #5, 6, 7 & 8<br />
This is a br<strong>and</strong> new line <strong>and</strong> big brother to the original Buzzer line above. A sinktip<br />
line which exhibits superb casting performance, with a longer 10ft tip, which<br />
will hold longer sub-surface, giving straight line contact with the fly to avoid<br />
missed takes, whilst depth control is achieved through speed of retrieve. Ideal<br />
for serious trout, great in a bigger wave <strong>and</strong> fishing deeper than the original<br />
version <strong>and</strong> casts even better than the original Countdown options it replaces.<br />

Spectre Fast-Sink<br />
The XS-Plus Spectre Distance lines have proved nothing short of<br />
sensational, with the design taking into account the casting ability of most<br />
anglers. If you can cast at all, this line will help flatter your performance.<br />
If you can cast well, the Spectre Distance lines will help make your casting<br />
become exceptional. The new Spectre series have a profile that extends<br />
beyond the range of our traditional XS fly lines <strong>and</strong> at 30ft longer are<br />
40 yards in total length, necessary to accommodate their outst<strong>and</strong>ing<br />
performance. Each of the Spectre Distance lines has the same head length<br />
at 47ft. To achieve the benefit of longer casts however, the profiles have<br />
been ‘tweaked’ accordingly, to optimise all casting abilities. The front taper<br />
is 7ft in order to still achieve great turnover, especially at longer range <strong>and</strong><br />
the longer rear taper of 8ft extends the profile over which a good cast can<br />
still be achieved, whether the optimum head length has been precisely<br />
aerialised, or not.<br />

The rear taper on the Spectre lines start at a much extended 39ft, nearly<br />
1/3rd longer than the st<strong>and</strong>ard XS. This provides a ‘load point’ much<br />
longer than normal, yet still very manageable. So, where room behind<br />
for a decent back-cast, this helps significantly when distance casting,<br />
without adding bulk to the fly line to achieve the same. <strong>Snowbee</strong> lines are<br />
renowned for being very slim <strong>and</strong> by extending the head length within<br />
manageable levels, this provides perfect rod flex when fully extended,<br />
without increasing wind resistance through bulk. With a longer head<br />
already extended, the cast automatically travels further. <strong>Snowbee</strong>’s slim<br />
running line also then comes into play <strong>and</strong> is why these lines are now 120ft<br />
long rather than the st<strong>and</strong>ard 90ft.<br />
The Spectre series now comprises of four lines with the addition of a new<br />
Sink-Tip version for this ever more popular style of fishing. It has a sinking<br />
10ft tip of similar 2-2.5ips density to the long full head intermediate. The<br />
Floating line will provide long <strong>and</strong> accurate casts when fishing dries, <strong>and</strong><br />
the sink tip can further extend that now to enhance control when fishing<br />
buzzers, damsels <strong>and</strong> washing line for example. The Intermediate, with a<br />
level sink rate on the head of 2-2.5ips provides the ability to fish subsurface,<br />
plus allows great control to more depth if required, in all weathers.<br />
The Fast-Sink line has a sink rate of 5ips <strong>and</strong> provides the ability to reach<br />
drop-offs at long range <strong>and</strong> get down quickly to fish near the bottom, early<br />
season with boobies, or even to explore greater depths<br />
from the boat. All the lines have a Hi-Viz Chartreuse<br />
floating running line that will gradually pull sub-surface,<br />
with the weight of the sinking lines, providing the<br />
perfect direct link to the flies without slack, for best<br />
visibility <strong>and</strong> enhanced take detection.<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
XS-Plus Distance <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
When it comes down to reaching fish that have pushed far out<br />
from the shore on a distant drop off, because of bright sun, weed,<br />
shallow water or just fishing pressure, the new Nano Technology<br />
of the XS-Plus fly lines could not be better suited to the distance<br />
profiles <strong>and</strong> construction of these two superb fly lines.<br />
EDF XS-Plus Extreme Distance Floating<br />
(Ivory/Peach WF5-WF8)<br />
This line has the longest head of any <strong>Snowbee</strong> fly line at 60 feet <strong>and</strong> 150ft (50yards) in total<br />
length. With the superb, silky finish of the Ivory coloured head, this line could easily be mistaken<br />
for an XS floating line, until the two-tone transition to the peach running line becomes exposed.<br />
Then, in the h<strong>and</strong>s of a good exponent of the double haul, <strong>and</strong> a <strong>Prestige</strong> G-XS Graphene fly rod<br />
for example, the biggest give away of all is when the exceptional distance, that can be effortlessly<br />
achieved, becomes evident as the line disappears towards the horizon! This twin-colour fly line is<br />
truly exceptional <strong>and</strong> is another award-winning fly line in the <strong>Snowbee</strong> XS-Plus range. Now with a<br />
#5wt version, this has proved to be one of the ultimate distance casting lines ever made…..<br />

EXDF XS-Plus XS-tra Distance Floating<br />
(Chartreuse/Hi-Viz Orange WF5-WF8)<br />
This very supple line with a short, Hi-Viz Chartreuse head <strong>and</strong> Hi-Viz Orange running line will<br />
deliver a cast at range with very little back cast. Deliberately designed for use in tight spaces, or<br />
simply effortless distance casting even for a modest beginner, the line excels when teamed up<br />
with the correctly weighted fly rod <strong>and</strong> is the most commonly purchased fly line on the <strong>Snowbee</strong><br />
‘balanced outfit’ promotion (see p17).<br />
The XS-Plus XS-tra Distance line uses a shooting-head profile designed for extreme distance casting<br />
with minimal back-cast or false casting. This floating line, has a relatively short head of 40ft, with<br />
a short rear taper for powerful performance, onto a continuous, high visibility <strong>and</strong> fine diameter,<br />
floating running line. With the new Nano-coating, of all the XS-Plus fly lines, this provides the ultimate<br />
‘shootability’ when casting <strong>and</strong> the high visibility helps enhance optimum ‘take’ <strong>and</strong> ‘strike’ detection.<br />
The overall length of the line is 120ft (40 yards), some 30ft longer than the st<strong>and</strong>ard XS <strong>and</strong> most other<br />
conventional fly line profiles, purposely extended to accommodate the range that can be attained. Early<br />
trials saw the loop to backing joint, rattling through the rod rings in no time. This line will help benefit<br />
those of all casting abilities to exceed the performance of traditional profile lines <strong>and</strong> help reach those<br />
fish that were previously just out of casting range, especially when faced with a limited casting space<br />
behind. As the name suggests…XS-tra Distance casting made easy!<br />

A small, concise range of salmon <strong>and</strong> sea-trout lines,<br />

XS-Plus Short Spey Lines<br />
Our Short Spey line profiles have been designed to meet the dem<strong>and</strong>s of the modern<br />
salmon <strong>and</strong> sea-trout angler, fishing with a long or short double-h<strong>and</strong>ed rod <strong>and</strong> for use<br />
in highly restricted areas, where the creation of a larger Spey loop is near impossible.<br />
By combining the best of the ‘Sc<strong>and</strong>inavian underh<strong>and</strong>’ style of casting <strong>and</strong> ‘shooting<br />

to the integral shooting head running line.<br />

Light Blue/Dark Blue 24g #7/8, 36g #8/9, 40g #9/10 <strong>and</strong> 44g #10/11 - 44ft head<br />
The short head of these lines loads the rod really quickly for delivery at any range, saves<br />
time <strong>and</strong> shoots like a dream but with the same powerful turnover of a traditional Spey<br />
line. The fast front taper is especially suited to fishing with the <strong>Snowbee</strong> Poly-Coated<br />

On large open rivers there is normally plenty of room for Spey casting<br />
<strong>and</strong> the 62ft head of this line has proved the perfect length for the<br />
traditional Spey cast, whether casting your way down<br />
a tree-lined or steep sided river or open fields.<br />
Using a line with too short or too long a head<br />
<strong>and</strong> finding the optimum rod load point<br />
can be crucial so the colour change helps<br />
provide the perfect cast every time. Perfectly<br />

Ivory/ Hi-Viz Orange – 350gr #6/7, 400gr #7/8 <strong>and</strong> 450gr #8/9<br />
These modern day Switch lines are a little like a ‘compressed’ Spey line, with a short,<br />
heavy head (from 28-30ft) in a ‘Skagit’ style shooting head profile. Perfect for use<br />
when salmon fishing with lighter <strong>and</strong> shorter rods of today. The difference being the<br />
bulk of the profile is at the back of the head, providing power to create tight D-loops<br />
<strong>and</strong> compressing weight into the head, where<br />
it’s needed for truly effortless distance with<br />
controlled, accurate presentation. The short,<br />
steep rear taper then graduates smoothly<br />
into the fine diameter continuous running<br />

<strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
XS-Plus Tropics Saltwater <strong>Fly</strong> Lines<br />
In the past, manufacturers have relied upon a stiff,<br />
monofilament core to prevent their saltwater fly<br />
lines going limp <strong>and</strong> sticky in tropical conditions.<br />
By careful manipulation of our ‘Nano Technology’<br />
coating material however, we have now developed<br />
a harder coating for these particular lines, which<br />
means they still possess all the Nano-Tec benefits<br />
but are also able to withst<strong>and</strong> the rigours of the<br />
saltwater environment, especially in the searing<br />
heat of the tropics <strong>and</strong> on the deck of a skiff,<br />
awaiting the perfect cast. These properties allow<br />
these lines to be equally at home, targeting bass<br />
<strong>and</strong> pollack in our temperate waters.<br />
TSWP-F XS Plus Tropics Saltwater ‘Presentation' Floating<br />
A 120ft floating line with a 41ft head <strong>and</strong> extended tapers front <strong>and</strong> back, designed to aid quick <strong>and</strong> accurate<br />
casting when targeting moving fish, with minimal delay <strong>and</strong> in whatever wind conditions may prevail. The front<br />
taper helps secure a good turnover across a wide range of flies, each with varying weight <strong>and</strong> sizes necessary for<br />
the species being pursued. This line is therefore ideal when ‘sight fishing’ for bonefish, permit or jacks etc. where<br />
a smooth <strong>and</strong> quiet ‘lay-down’ of the fly is so often required. The colour change at the back of the head indicates<br />
the precise, optimum shoot point, which together with the fine running line, makes distance casting effortless<br />
when targeting fish at range.<br />

all counts. The short, shooting head profile <strong>and</strong> fine running line, will punch through a stiff wind effortlessly, whilst<br />
the 5-6 ips fast-sink head will get your fly down fast, to the ‘strike zone’. The colour change at the back of the head,<br />
notifies the precise 'shoot point' making distance casting effortless <strong>and</strong> the 90ft of running line is easily drawn<br />
through the rings, extending the cast to a long range 120ft with minimum effort <strong>and</strong><br />
needing only the short 30ft head out of the tip ring to be able to do so!<br />

tests your line, reel <strong>and</strong> rod to the limit! This is where our well-proven XS<br />
profile comes into play, providing the perfect line profile to deliver what’s<br />

Wading<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> Waders – it’s all about reliability<br />
Back in 1984, <strong>Snowbee</strong> introduced the very first<br />
lightweight PVC/Nylon waders to the UK market,<br />
<strong>and</strong> what a revelation that proved to be.<br />
Until <strong>Snowbee</strong>’s intervention we had all been ‘clumping’ around in<br />
heavy rubber waders. Remember how they had the habit of cracking<br />
<strong>and</strong> perishing, causing leaks after one season? But the new lightweight<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> waders changed all that, <strong>and</strong> we advertised them with the<br />
slogan ‘No more second season leaks’. We have been setting the st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
in wader design <strong>and</strong> innovation ever since. As the pioneers of modern<br />
day wading comfort, after 36 years, we still remain number one in wader<br />
design <strong>and</strong> technology. It’s something we are justly proud of, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
development continues to this day.<br />
Breathable comfort <strong>and</strong> ultimate reliability<br />
At the end of the day, all any angler wants out of a pair of waders is to be<br />
comfortable <strong>and</strong> more importantly remain dry! How hard can that be? Well<br />
actually, very hard. Which is why, over the years, every br<strong>and</strong> of breathable<br />
wader has had its problems, due to the technological challenges of making<br />
a wader thin enough to be breathable yet hardy enough to withst<strong>and</strong> the<br />
most common cause of leaks – fine thorn <strong>and</strong> gorse punctures. These<br />
two opposites have challenged wader designers since the early days of<br />
breathables over 20 years ago.<br />
In 2018 we finally solved this dilemma, with the introduction of our <strong>Prestige</strong><br />
STX range. This range used a performance material, retaining our famous<br />
Soft-Touch (ST) outer finish, but on a totally new groundbreaking fabric. And<br />
it didn’t stop there. We looked at the main causes of wader leaks – over<br />
stressed seams <strong>and</strong> puncture damage, <strong>and</strong> we solved both. By improving<br />
both the cut <strong>and</strong> size range available, we now have a wader to fit just about<br />
every size <strong>and</strong> shape <strong>and</strong> which provides wading comfort without stressing<br />
the seams. See opposite for details.<br />
To solve the problems of puncture damage we reinforced both the fronts<br />
of the legs <strong>and</strong> the rear seat area with a second layer of breathable fabric,<br />
providing a class-leading six layers in the most vulnerable areas, where you<br />
need it most. And the proof we succeeded? After five season's sales the<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> STX proved to be our most reliable breathable wader ever!<br />
Total warmth, coupled with total reliability<br />
As the first company to introduce sub £100 neoprene waders to the UK<br />
market, over 20 years ago, we have learned a thing or two about their<br />
design in that time. While other br<strong>and</strong>s sacrificed material <strong>and</strong> build quality<br />
in chasing down the price, <strong>Snowbee</strong> took another route. Working with one of<br />
the top neoprene wader factories in Asia <strong>and</strong> using only quality materials, we<br />
developed a range of top quality neoprene waders at a realistic price. Not as<br />
cheap as some, but while those br<strong>and</strong>s suffered with notorious unreliability,<br />
our Classic Neoprenes have proved, over the past five years, to not only<br />
be the most reliable neoprene waders we have ever made, but our most<br />
reliable waders ever! Quite an achievement for a material which has quite a<br />
chequered history with some manufacturers, due to the use of inferior grades<br />
of ‘neoprene’.<br />

Wadermaster Waders<br />
How to store your <strong>Snowbee</strong> waders<br />
All <strong>Snowbee</strong> waders are made from synthetic materials,<br />
which are not susceptible to cracking or perishing, like the<br />
old rubber waders were. The sun will degrade synthetic<br />
materials, so it is recommended that waders are stored<br />
out of direct sunlight.<br />
Creasing does not adversely affect the performance<br />
of waders, but does look unsightly, so the best way of<br />
avoiding this is to hang the waders upside-down in a<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> Wader Rack. After use in saltwater, or brackish<br />
water, the waders <strong>and</strong> felt soles should always be hosed<br />
down with fresh water.<br />
It is important to dry your waders thoroughly, inside as<br />
well as out. If not, mould can develop which can cause<br />
damage to the breathable membrane resulting eventually<br />
in a leak.<br />
For those who don’t want to breathe…<br />
Not every anglers needs, or wants, to pay the premium for<br />
breathable waders. For those who just want total reliability <strong>and</strong><br />
rugged performance in the harshest conditions, our famous 210D<br />
Nylon Wadermaster is a ‘go-anywhere’ wader which will find<br />
favour with anglers looking for strength, performance <strong>and</strong> long-life<br />
reliability.<br />
In addition, our Granite PVC models have again proved to be<br />
totally reliable, with near zero return rates in the four years since<br />
their launch. They really are superb value for money.<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> now has the widest choice of wader models, materials<br />
<strong>and</strong> sizes on the market. From basic PVC waders, through to tough<br />
Nylon waders; from basic waders, through to our class-leading<br />
<strong>Prestige</strong> STX2 models <strong>and</strong> great value Classic Neoprenes, we<br />
can provide a wader of choice, design <strong>and</strong> style for every angler<br />
<strong>and</strong> every purpose.<br />

Wading //<br />
Wader size is all-important<br />
Following these instructions should prolong the life of your waders <strong>and</strong> will<br />
explain why some anglers get years out of their waders <strong>and</strong> some get a lot less.<br />
Fitting waders<br />
Having manufactured every type of waders for nearly<br />
40 years, we have seen just about every fault, issue or<br />
problem there is to see. And you might be surprised to<br />
hear that in more cases than not, it is not the waders at<br />
fault, but often the wearer or the tackle shop salesman.<br />
Apart from the obvious puncture damage, the most common<br />
leakage points we see time <strong>and</strong> again for all waders are<br />
the ankle (where the boot or sock joins the upper material),<br />
at the knees, at the crotch, or the seams. Very often these<br />
problems are not due to manufacturing faults, but are more<br />
likely due to the wrong size of waders being chosen.<br />
Simple rules to ensure you get<br />
the correct size of waders<br />
• When trying on waders in a tackle shop, try to wear similar<br />
clothes to those you wear when fishing for a realistic fit.<br />
• Try the waders in a number of different positions, such as<br />
those you would realistically have to get into whilst fishing.<br />
• Kneel down in them as if unhooking a fish (3). Sit down<br />
in them, like you will in the hut or on the back of the car<br />
whilst pulling on your boots. Make sure you can get your<br />
foot up onto a chair (2), like stepping out of the river <strong>and</strong><br />
onto the bank. Then finally kneel down on the floor, sit on<br />
your heels <strong>and</strong> lean your body forward, as this represents<br />
the ‘longest’ position your waders will ever be in.<br />
If doing any of these manoeuvres you feel the waders pull<br />
tight at the knees, thighs, or around your backside, then the<br />
waders do not fit you properly <strong>and</strong> you need a larger size.<br />
Any restrictions in movement put strain on the seams<br />
<strong>and</strong> the stitching in them. The weight of an adult sitting,<br />
or crouching down in waders that are too small, can put<br />
enormous strain on the seams, to the point of leakage.<br />
Microscopic pin-hole punctures can easily be caused by<br />
brushing against a gorse bush, or more commonly by<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ing on the wader fabric whilst getting changed. Try<br />
to avoid this by sitting sideways on your car seat or on the<br />
tail gate, to put waders on <strong>and</strong> off. Another frequent cause<br />
of damage to the ankle seam is through st<strong>and</strong>ing on one<br />
sock toe with the other foot, in order to pull the waders<br />
off (see right). Don’t do it! Always try to sit down <strong>and</strong> pull<br />
each sock off in turn, gripping the waders at the back of<br />
the ankle <strong>and</strong> pulling the sock off. If you do puncture your<br />
waders on barbed wire, gorse or with a fly, get it repaired<br />
quickly, as dampness inside can lead to mould, which can<br />
cause further damage to the breathable membrane<br />
making matters worse!<br />
Above: DO NOT pull your wader<br />
socks off by st<strong>and</strong>ing on one toe,<br />
with the other foot <strong>and</strong> pulling.<br />
This will over-stress the ankle seam<br />
<strong>and</strong> likely lead to the stitching<br />
tearing, resulting in a leak!<br />
Below: This is the CORRECT way<br />
to remove wader socks. Sit down,<br />
or lean against the car or a tree,<br />
grip the sock at the BACK of the<br />
ankle <strong>and</strong> pull each sock off in turn.<br />
1 1<br />
This photo shows a correctly sized pair<br />
of waders. There is room in the body<br />
<strong>and</strong> the legs are long enough, so they do not<br />
pull tight, when crouching, kneeling or sitting.<br />
2<br />
Put one foot up on a chair, to replicate<br />
the action of stepping up, onto the bank.<br />
You should be able to do this without any<br />
‘tight-spots’. If not – you need a bigger size.<br />
2<br />
Try kneeling, as if you were un-hooking<br />
3 3<br />
a fish. If the body or crotch seam feel<br />
‘tight’, you need a bigger body size. If the<br />
legs pull tight at the front or back of the<br />
ankle seam, you need a longer leg size.<br />

Following the redesign of the top-selling <strong>Prestige</strong> range,<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> remained in their rightful position… as No.1 in waders!<br />
The <strong>Prestige</strong> STX2 Breathable range competes with very best on the market, irrespective of price.<br />
Material: We have retained our popular Soft-Touch (ST) material so liked by anglers. What sets this<br />
apart from other breathable wader materials is the outer layer, which has a 'peach-skin' finish. Not only<br />
does this look <strong>and</strong> feel superb, but the finish makes it totally flexible, rustle-free <strong>and</strong> silent.<br />
We have incorporated this into a new, unique 3-layer material, which takes breathable wader<br />
technology onto a completely new level. This top quality breathable material is a blend of 24%<br />
nylon, 59% polyester <strong>and</strong> 17% polyurethane to provide strength <strong>and</strong> durability. The outer material<br />
has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, rated at L10/80 – meaning it retains 80% of its DWR<br />
performance, even after washing 10 times! The inner laminate utilises our highly reliable Vapour-Tec®<br />
breathable membrane, for superior performance, providing a breathability of 4,000g/m 2 /24hrs <strong>and</strong> a<br />
hydrostatic water pressure resistance (waterproofness) of 15,000mm.<br />
Design: The STX2 range utilises our well proven cutting style <strong>and</strong> proved to be the best fitting, most<br />
comfortable waders we have ever made. We have combined all our previous ‘St<strong>and</strong>ard’, ‘FB’ <strong>and</strong><br />
‘Short’ size fittings into just one size chart for convenience.<br />
Chest <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>warmer pockets<br />
Wading belt <strong>and</strong> seat pad<br />
Over the years, we have learnt that the majority of breathable wader leaks are caused by puncture<br />
damage. Needle sharp gorse or thorns can cause pin-pricks in breathable material, invisible to the<br />
naked eye, but so frustrating when you enter the water. To help avoid this, our current models feature<br />
a second layer of material where you need it most – down the front of the legs, from above the knee to<br />
the sock or boot join <strong>and</strong> on the seat of the waders. This additional layer takes the overall thickness up<br />
to a class-leading 6-layers, but by utilising two separate layers, they still retain their high breathability –<br />
unlike 5-layer materials which have very limited breathability.<br />
The twin front pockets are fitted with top quality, waterproof YKK pocket zips, to provide fly box,<br />
leader or accessory pockets, as waterproof as it’s possible to get. Behind these are generously-sized<br />
h<strong>and</strong>-warmer pockets for those cold spring <strong>and</strong> autumn days.<br />
11192-ZIP <strong>Prestige</strong> STX2 Zip Front Stockingfoot Waders<br />
Our top of the range stocking foot model now comes in the Zip-front option<br />
<strong>and</strong> features 4mm, 3 panel neoprene socks using our new cutting design,<br />
making them the best fitting, most comfortable we have ever worn. In addition<br />
to the high-density sole panel, which prevents heel compression leaks, this<br />
cutting-style tapers the ankles, to remove excess material, which can otherwise<br />
crease up inside your wading boots. The 3-panel design ensures all the seams<br />
run around <strong>and</strong> not under your foot, for a more moulded fit <strong>and</strong> added<br />
comfort. The integral gravel guards have front lacing hooks <strong>and</strong> rubberised<br />
elastication around the bottom, to prevent them riding up when walking.<br />
This model offers supreme reliability <strong>and</strong> perhaps the best value value wader<br />
on the market plus the Riri zip-front provides the most reliable accessory<br />
option for when that nagging pit-stop is required.<br />

210D Nylon Wadermaster Waders<br />
Mention the name <strong>Snowbee</strong> <strong>and</strong> most people would associate it with<br />
QUALITY WADERS… <strong>and</strong> quite rightly so. Waders is where it all began.<br />
We were the first company to introduce lightweight PVC waders to the<br />
UK fly fishing market <strong>and</strong> since those early days almost 40 years ago, the<br />
range has steadily grown <strong>and</strong> improved.<br />
Two years ago we combined two of our best-ever wader<br />
models <strong>and</strong> materials. Our super heavy-duty Wadermaster<br />
model has been available in various forms for over 25<br />
years, during which time, it has been the wader of choice<br />
for anyone wanting the ultimate ‘bullet-proof’ wader,<br />
including fish farmers, river-keepers, fire brigades, water<br />
authorities <strong>and</strong> the Environment Agency. So we reintroduced<br />
our popular 210 Denier Nylon material – a top<br />
seller for over 15 years, but in the original Wadermaster<br />
design.<br />
They’re not breathable, but what they are is lightweight,<br />
incredibly tough, durable <strong>and</strong> hardwearing. They deflect<br />
thorns <strong>and</strong> gorse like no other material <strong>and</strong> if you want a pair<br />
of waders that is going to last… this is it.<br />
The 210D nylon material, which is light, flexible <strong>and</strong> supertough,<br />
has a soft, laminated PVC lining, to ensure it remains<br />
100% waterproof <strong>and</strong> provides all-day comfort.<br />

Wading<br />
For over five years the new style Granite PVC waders continue to be totally reliable, with near zero<br />
returns! An amazing feat, bearing in mind how many we sell of these quality waders!<br />
Manufactured from durable, hard-wearing, reinforced PVC laminate, which despite being as tough as it gets, is<br />
also extremely soft, light <strong>and</strong> flexible for added comfort. The outer PVC layer is laminated to a tough, woven<br />
nylon inner lining, making the material super-strong <strong>and</strong> almost rip-proof, whilst remaining light weight.<br />
Granite waders use a unique seam welding technology where seams are fused together<br />
with an integral tape, using a new Sonic Welding process. This leaves the finished<br />
seams immensely strong, <strong>and</strong> almost completely flush, avoiding seam-chafe.<br />
Above left: New elasticated braces with rear Duraflex buckle.<br />

<strong>Snowbee</strong> XS <strong>Fishing</strong> Shirts<br />
Our new XS fishing shirts are equally suitable fishing the flats for bonefish as fishing the local<br />
reservoir. Made from a tough, poly-cotton material, they are quick drying, but also retain their<br />
smart appearance for that 'trophy fish' photo!<br />
Having tried all the 'high performance', 'technical' materials over the<br />
years, we came to the conclusion, that overall, you can’t beat the<br />
tried <strong>and</strong> tested polycotton material, for cool comfort in pretty much<br />
all conditions. A shirt which keeps you cool in the summer, offers<br />
good sun protection, whilst still retaining its smart appearance,<br />
even at the end of a long, hard day’s fishing!<br />
Utilising the same design as our popular ‘Solaris’ range, but in a<br />
material more suited to our temperate climate. Our soft, poly-cotton<br />
material uses a blend of fibres created to provide the advantages<br />
of both cotton <strong>and</strong> the poly fibres, into one fabric. Namely tear <strong>and</strong><br />
crease-resistance, meaning less ironing, with good wicking properties,<br />
when things get hot! The material also breathes to keep you cool in the<br />
summer months, while the top half of the shirt is lined front <strong>and</strong> back<br />
with a fine polyester mesh, covered by external vent flaps, which allow<br />
free air passage to prevent the outer material sticking to the skin.<br />
There are two large front bellows pockets for fly boxes, a sunglasses<br />
holder button-hole on the chest <strong>and</strong> the sleeves features Swiss Cuff<br />
tabs <strong>and</strong> buttons to hold the sleeves in place, when rolled up for<br />
casting. The concealed button-down collars prevent that annoying<br />
collar-flap, when fishing in a breeze. These stylish shirts come in the two<br />
most popular colours – Sky Blue <strong>and</strong> a light Stone/Sage Green.<br />
Material: 65% Polyester, 35% cotton<br />
Colours: Light Sage or Sky Blue<br />

<strong>Snowbee</strong> XStreme Thermal Jacket<br />
Our XStreme Thermal Jacket is ultra-lightweight, packs down into the<br />
smallest space, but packs a big punch in terms of thermal properties!<br />
Finished in an attractive olive green outer nylon shell, the filling is<br />
a synthetic Polyball polyester, with a fill weight of a class-leading<br />
425g. The issue with most thermal jackets, whether down or<br />
synthetic filling, is that they lose much of their insulation properties,<br />
once the filling gets wet. To help avoid this the 380T nylon outer<br />
shell is treated with a 'Matt Ciring finish'. This is a technique used on<br />
textiles for this type of use, which involves treating the finished cloth<br />
with a heat <strong>and</strong> pressure process, which makes the outer surface<br />
waterproof, but gives it a matt finish <strong>and</strong> a soft feel.<br />
In addition to this, the outer surface is then treated with a DWR<br />
(Durable Water Repellent) coating, so light rain will bead-up <strong>and</strong> run<br />
off the surface. Although not designed as a ‘waterproof garment’,<br />
this not only helps keep you dry if caught out by an unexpected<br />
shower, but more importantly, keeps the polyester filling dry,<br />
so it retains its thermal properties.<br />
Our new jacket makes an ideal outer-layer on crisp, dry days, or a<br />
perfect thermal mid-layer, under an outer breathable shell, to keep<br />
you toasty warm even on the coldest days.<br />
For additional comfort <strong>and</strong> warmth, the high collar is lined with a<br />
self-colour, knitted <strong>and</strong> elasticated collar lining <strong>and</strong> the bottom<br />
hem <strong>and</strong> cuffs, are bound with a self-colour, elasticated piping,<br />
for a warm, snug fit on even the coldest days.<br />
The full-length front 2-way zip has an internal cover-flap to keep<br />
the wind out. There are 2 large, side zipped pockets, plus 2 deep<br />
‘pouch’ pockets inside, one of them with an additional secure<br />
zipped pocket for mobile, wallet, car keys etc.<br />
Weighing in at just 455g (size M), our new jacket packs down into<br />
the smallest of spaces, making it ideal for travel, or to stuff in a kitbag<br />
when out fishing for the day.<br />

Ultralite Chest-Pack<br />
Rear D-Ring for<br />
l<strong>and</strong>ing net<br />
Our Chest-Pack is designed for the roving<br />
angler who likes to travel light!<br />
There are times when roving a river bank or moorl<strong>and</strong> reservoir, when<br />
you don’t want all the paraphernalia associated with a traditional fly vest<br />
or back-pack. When you just want to travel light with the bare essentials<br />
for a day’s fishing, that’s where our Ultralite Chest-Pack is ideal.<br />
11628 Ultralite Chest-Pack<br />
Constructed from a tough 840D rip-stop polyester fabric, for strength <strong>and</strong><br />
light-weight, with a PU rear coating, making the material 100% waterproof. It<br />
features two, large fly-box pockets, with further internal flap pockets for leaders <strong>and</strong><br />
accessories. In front of these are two smaller zipped pockets for small fly boxes,<br />
tippet spools <strong>and</strong> accessories. On the front of these are a zipped mesh pocket one<br />
side, for leaders, floatants, sinkants etc <strong>and</strong> a convenient, fold-down, ripple-foam<br />
fly-patch on the other.<br />
Down either side of the main pockets, are two external coil retractors, with neat<br />
covers, for forceps <strong>and</strong> snips. These can drop neatly into the looped side clip<br />
attachments, to prevent them swinging around <strong>and</strong> catching fly lines.<br />
The main shoulder straps feature two elasticated loops one side for<br />
floatants <strong>and</strong> sinkants <strong>and</strong> on the other side a novel tippet spool<br />
holder, which can hold up to 4 or 5 small tippet spools.<br />
The two main chest compartments zip together in the centre <strong>and</strong> also<br />
have an elasticated centre strap, to allow more freedom of movement<br />
on hot days. The entire shoulder straps <strong>and</strong> pocket assembly have<br />
an air-mesh rear lining, to help keep you cool on hot days <strong>and</strong> the<br />
elasticated side straps are fully adjustable, meaning one size fits all.<br />
Coil retractor<br />

16200 Chest Wader Bag<br />
Our ingenious Chest Wader Bag is a must for any fishing trip, as it will ‘swallow’ chest waders, boots, clothing<br />
<strong>and</strong> tackle. A mesh panel in the lid allows damp waders to dry naturally. On the side, is a roll-out, waterproof<br />
changing mat so you can step out of your waders onto a dry surface, avoiding soggy socks or punctures.<br />
The adjustable shoulder strap has reversed clips, so that it can be used as a Wading Belt. A nylon divider flap<br />
inside the bag separates muddy wading boots from your clothing.<br />

XS Travel Luggage<br />
This single, innovative bag will hold all you need for a two week fishing trip.<br />
The base compartment is designed to take travel rods up to 10' 4-pce or 16' 6-pce Salmon rods, plus a pair<br />
of wading boots, stockingfoot waders, reels, fly boxes <strong>and</strong> vest or wading jacket. The upper compartments<br />
have ample room for dry clothing, shoes etc. The best bit is that all this gear is safely concealed <strong>and</strong><br />
the XS doesn’t look like a ‘fishing bag’ to rouse the interest of unscrupulous baggage h<strong>and</strong>lers.<br />
Our XS model incorporates two lockable end compartments, but with flexible, over-sized<br />
nylon liners. This innovative design, allows the entire length of the bag to be used as the top<br />
compartment at the start of the trip, by pushing these flexible liners into the ends of the<br />
bag. Dirty clothing can be stored in these end compartments <strong>and</strong> the liners slowly<br />
extended into the main compartment area, keeping clean <strong>and</strong> dirty gear separated.<br />
Large, square<br />

Wet & Dry-Sacks, Bass Bags<br />
19428-M/L Rubber-Mesh Bass Bags<br />
The popular range follows our well proven design but is made from ‘Rubber Mesh’. This fine,<br />
hexagonal mesh has a rubber coating, so not only does it prevent the net from retaining a fish<br />
smell, but it also completely dries, with just one shake. The strong webbing carrying h<strong>and</strong>les<br />
continue right under the net bag, for additional strength <strong>and</strong> there is a zip top to retain the<br />
fish. Keep the catch fresh during the day’s fishing by pegging it in the water, or using our<br />
innovative Bass Bag Lanyard, when boat fishing.<br />
19428-M Medium 20” x 18” 19428-L Large 24” x 20”<br />
19429/30 Wet-Sacks<br />
We all have the same problem, or what to do with a slimy, dripping<br />
bag of fish at the end of the day! The new, improved designs use a<br />
heavy-duty 500g/m 2 laminated PVC/Nylon/PVC material, which is<br />
100% waterproof. All seams are heat-welded <strong>and</strong> the top zips are<br />
water-resistant, making these new bags as watertight as it’s possible to<br />
be! The smaller size is ideal for a bass-bag full of fish, while the larger<br />
model will swallow boots, waders <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>ing nets. Just drop your<br />
bass bag of fish, or wet waders, l<strong>and</strong>ing net or clothing into the<br />
Wet Sack, zip it up <strong>and</strong> keep the car clean <strong>and</strong> dry on the way home!<br />
Features strong, reinforced nylon webbing carry h<strong>and</strong>les.<br />
Sizes: 19430 Small 21”x 24” 19429 Large 24”x 31”<br />
Colour: Dark Olive<br />
19427 Dry-Sacks<br />
Using the same tough material as our Wet-Sacks, our Dry-Sacks are<br />
designed for the opposite purpose – rather than keeping the wet in, these<br />
keep the wet out! All three models feature a stiffened, reinforced top<br />
b<strong>and</strong>, which can be rolled down <strong>and</strong> clipped together to provide a 100%<br />
waterproof, airtight bag. Fitted with D-rings each side onto which are<br />
clipped adjustable carry-straps – a single shoulder strap on the small model<br />
& twin straps on the medium <strong>and</strong> large, so they can be worn as a rucksack.<br />

13122 Neoprene Gloves<br />
A sturdy pair of neoprene gloves, made in a soft 2.5mm<br />
Neoprene to keep you warm on the coldest days.<br />
Material panels run down each side of the gloves<br />
<strong>and</strong> between the fingers to provide added<br />
flexibility <strong>and</strong> comfort. The back of the<br />
gloves has a jersey knit lining, whilst<br />
the palms <strong>and</strong> fingers use a<br />
patterned rubber for extra<br />
grip. Thumb, index <strong>and</strong><br />
middle fingers have<br />
‘flip-up’ tips, with Velcro<br />
pads to hold them<br />
back – allows knot tying<br />
without taking the gloves<br />
off. Velcro adjustable<br />
wrist cuff.<br />
Size: S, M, L, XL<br />
Colour: Dark Green with Black palm<br />
13124 SFT Neoprene Gloves<br />
Unlike traditional neoprene where the seams are butt glued <strong>and</strong> blind<br />
stitched, with our Seamless Fusion Technology (SFT) the seams are<br />
welded <strong>and</strong> then an ultra-thin, highly elastic tape applied. The result is<br />
a 100% waterproof, seamless product. The neoprene used is a 4-way<br />
high-stretch, 100% CR neoprene, but only 1mm thick, so for the first time<br />
you can have a neoprene fishing glove, which is a tight fit <strong>and</strong> ultra-thin,<br />
allowing you to feel everything <strong>and</strong> remain 100% dry. Silicone, screen<br />
printed palm <strong>and</strong> finger panels for superb grip <strong>and</strong> feel, even when wet.<br />

material allows the gloves to be worn whilst fishing<br />

We all make do with any old socks inside boots <strong>and</strong><br />

This is usually caused by chafe or excess perspiration. Our<br />

cotton, polyester, elastane <strong>and</strong> nylon with soft padded<br />

The ‘climate regulating’ CoolMax ® yarn wicks moisture<br />
away from the skin, to help keep feet drier <strong>and</strong> cooler,<br />

Our Wide Brimmed Ranger Hat offers protection to the ears <strong>and</strong> back of the neck<br />
in a stylish <strong>and</strong> practical way <strong>and</strong> is treated with an anti-UV agent for maximum<br />
protection. Made from a tough 10oz cotton duck material, which breathes<br />
naturally for summer coolness. Treated with DuPont Teflon for water resistance.<br />
Complete with an adjustable chin-strap, which can be tucked away<br />
inside the hat with a neat Velcro strap. There is a second Velcro<br />

How to measure for hat size<br />
To measure your size, use a tape measure<br />
<strong>and</strong> measure the circumference of your<br />
head, loosely, running the tape just above<br />
the ears <strong>and</strong> approximately 1” above the<br />
eyebrows. Then refer to the chart below for<br />
your correct size.<br />
Ultra-Violet Protection Factor<br />
When we sent the material sample to the SGS Laboratory for<br />
testing, it went off the scale! It came back with an ‘actual’ UPF<br />
(Ultra-Violet Protection Factor) of 2569 allowing just 0.03% of<br />
UVA <strong>and</strong> 0.04% of UVB to pass through! Unfortunately, the official<br />
rating system only goes up to a factor 50+… the equivalent of<br />
wearing factor 50 sunscreen, so we had to settle for this!<br />

Spectre Sunglasses<br />
Combining traditional, retro styles with modern wrap-arounds <strong>and</strong> using<br />
the latest, state-of-the-art lens technology, our new flagship Spectre range<br />
offers a sunglass for every possible purpose at class leading prices!<br />
When we set about designing the new Spectre range of sunglasses,<br />
we knew we had to come up with something different to meet<br />
the dem<strong>and</strong>s of modern day anglers. It’s no longer just about eye<br />
protection – you need to look <strong>and</strong> feel good in your<br />
shades <strong>and</strong> if you feel good…. you catch more fish!<br />
All models are made with lightweight polycarbonate frames,<br />
fitted with the latest 1mm TAC (Tri-Acetate Cellulose) lenses<br />
which offer outst<strong>and</strong>ing, distortion-free, optical clarity.<br />
The polarising filters offer superb glare elimination allowing<br />
you to spot fish better <strong>and</strong> follow their movements.<br />
The st<strong>and</strong>ard models are available in a lens choice of either Smoke<br />
Grey – best for bright light conditions, Amber – best for lower-light<br />
conditions or Yellow – ideal for evening <strong>and</strong> night fishing or under tree<br />
cover, due to their ‘light gathering’ properties. Plus one in Electric Blue<br />
Mirror finish <strong>and</strong> one in Green/Yellow Mirror finish – both perfect for<br />
bright light conditions, such as those encountered when flats fishing,<br />
but equally suitable on the reservoir on bright days.<br />
Available in a range of frame <strong>and</strong> lens combinations to suit all tastes<br />
<strong>and</strong> fishing requirements. The range features either satin black frames<br />
with grey/black graphite pattern frame arms with subtle red trim, or<br />
gloss finish tortoiseshell frames.<br />
All models come complete with a quality, hard protective case (below),<br />
a micro-fibre cleaning pouch <strong>and</strong> come in a smart presentation box.<br />

All <strong>Snowbee</strong> sunglasses exceed<br />
American <strong>and</strong> European<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards for eye protection (BS<br />
EN ISO 12312-1-2013+A1:2015).<br />
The UV400 lenses filter out 100%<br />
of harmful UVA & UVB radiation<br />
for total eye protection.<br />
The polarising filter selectively<br />
absorbs 99% of reflected glare<br />
to allow better light contrast <strong>and</strong><br />
more accurate colour definition<br />
for enhanced fish spotting.<br />

18044 Spectre Magnifier Unpolarised<br />
Like many of us who require reading glasses for close-up work, the hassle this involves when changing flies, or leaders, will be well<br />
known to you! Our new, innovative design features lightweight nylon frames with quality polycarbonate lenses. Laminated to the<br />
bottom of the lenses are small +2.5 magnifier lenses. These are small enough to be unobtrusive in normal use, but glance down,<br />
as you do when changing leaders or flies <strong>and</strong> the +2.5 magnification brings everything into sharp focus. These are un-polarised,<br />
due to the magnifying lenses preventing this, but provide great sun <strong>and</strong> glare protection, just the same. Available in black frame<br />
with smoke lenses <strong>and</strong> tortoiseshell frame with amber lenses, both fitted with rubber nose pads <strong>and</strong> rubber frame tip-arms, for<br />
grip. Come with a hard protective case <strong>and</strong> micro-fibre cleaning pouch. Weight: 26g.<br />
180434-U Spectre 'Dry-<strong>Fly</strong>' Sunglasses<br />
Our Spectre 'Dry-<strong>Fly</strong>' specialist sunglasses feature lightweight polycarbonate<br />
frames <strong>and</strong> 2mm polycarbonate, yellow, non-polarised lenses for the ultimate<br />
fly <strong>and</strong> bite detection. When dry fly fishing, the solid fly silhouette st<strong>and</strong>s out<br />
against the glare of the water, while the yellow lens tint takes the sting out<br />
of the brightness of the sunlight. If this glare is removed by a polarising lens,<br />
the dry fly melts into the background colour of the water, making it harder to<br />
see. This specialist un-polarised sunglass is perfect for dry-fly fishing, giving<br />
you greater clarity to keep your fly in sight at all times, reducing missed takes.<br />

Our folding game net works on the 'keep it simple' principle – the folding<br />
mechanism is totally fool-proof - nothing can go wrong! Constructed from<br />
lightweight, tubular aluminium, the entire net weighs just 590g/20.8oz.<br />
The large 23”x 19” teardrop frame has a 20” deep, 16mm rubber-coated<br />
mesh to prevent hooks tangling <strong>and</strong> avoid that unpleasant fish smell during<br />
storage. The h<strong>and</strong>le has a foam grip plus a stainless steel clip to attach to<br />
a belt or D-ring, allowing 'out of the way’ storage whilst fishing, but readily<br />
to h<strong>and</strong> when required. Makes an ideal sea-trout, salmon or reservoir trout net.<br />
Length overall 55”.<br />
Easy as 1, 2, 3... a simple<br />
‘flick & twist’ action opens<br />
<strong>and</strong> deploys the net.<br />

Two years ago we launched the<br />
smaller Folding <strong>Game</strong> Net. It soon<br />
became our top-selling l<strong>and</strong>ing net<br />
as anglers worldwide came to appreciate the<br />
simplicity of design. Soon after launch however,<br />
we started receiving requests from salmon<br />
<strong>and</strong> pike anglers for a larger model – so here<br />
it is! Working on exactly the same principle as<br />
its smaller brother – just scaled up, this model<br />
makes the perfect salmon or large predator net.<br />
The entire net weighs in at just 915g/32oz. The<br />
large 27”x 23” teardrop frame has a 28” deep,<br />
18mm rubber-coated mesh. Twin foam grips<br />
on the h<strong>and</strong>le, plus a stainless belt clip, the<br />
extended h<strong>and</strong>le provides an overall length of<br />
70” for greater reach from both bank <strong>and</strong> boat.<br />

Rubber-Mesh L<strong>and</strong>ing Nets<br />
& Magnetic Net Releases<br />
Our top-selling 3-in-1 H<strong>and</strong> Trout Net <strong>and</strong><br />
Boat & Bank L<strong>and</strong>ing Net both use the latest generation of rubber mesh.<br />
The fine, hexagonal mesh has a rubber coating, which prevents it from<br />
absorbing water, so not only does it prevent the net from smelling of<br />
fish, but it completely dries, with just one shake. The rubber coating also<br />
prevents hook barbs catching in the mesh, which can be so annoying<br />
when you net a fish.<br />
15112 3-in-1 H<strong>and</strong> Trout L<strong>and</strong>ing Net<br />
The D-section aluminium frame is ultra lightweight yet offers amazing<br />
strength <strong>and</strong> rigidity. Attached is a hexagonal Rubber-Mesh knotless net<br />
which has a flat bottom panel for the fish to lie in – ideal for catch & release<br />
as this design minimises scale damage. The net comes with two telescopic<br />
aluminium h<strong>and</strong>les. The shorter model is only 12” (30cm) when closed,<br />
providing an ideal river<br />
‘scoop’ net, particularly for competition fishing. It<br />
telescopes out to 18” (46cm) for additional reach<br />
<strong>and</strong> fits within international competition rules for<br />
overall length. The second telescopic h<strong>and</strong>le<br />
extends from a closed length of 25” (64cm) to a<br />
fully extended length of 45” (115cm), providing an<br />
ideal river bank or small stillwater net. Both h<strong>and</strong>les<br />
are fitted with high-density foam grips.<br />
Frame size: 17.5” x 20” (45 x 51cm)<br />

so is ideal for larger sea-trout or even smaller salmon nets. It comes with split<br />

Rubber-Mesh H<strong>and</strong> Trout Nets<br />
A unique range featuring the latest USA-style,<br />
moulded synthetic rubber mesh for minimal<br />
scale damage when fishing ‘catch & release’.<br />
Rubber-Mesh H<strong>and</strong> Trout Net<br />
The lightweight, tubular aluminium frame, offers strength<br />
<strong>and</strong> rigidity <strong>and</strong> this is fixed to a moulded nylon Y-piece,<br />
attached to the lightweight ABS plastic h<strong>and</strong>le, with a nonslip,<br />
moulded finish. Into the end of the h<strong>and</strong>le is fitted a<br />
strong magnetic release, which is in turn fitted to a moulded<br />
ring <strong>and</strong> aluminium carabiner, for convenient <strong>and</strong> quick<br />
release, when required. The 'rubber mesh' is a synthetic<br />
rubber, made from the latest, clear, moulded PVC, which is<br />
soft, lightweight <strong>and</strong> clear in the water, so as not to spook<br />
fish. Graduated mesh size to reduce water resistance.<br />

The Danish design of this premium range of <strong>Fly</strong> Tying Vices is second-to-none,<br />
representing excellent value for money when you compare the quality <strong>and</strong> features<br />
with other vices on the market. Superbly engineered from high quality steel <strong>and</strong> aircraft<br />

The <strong>Fly</strong>-Mate Vices feature a rotational facility which, combined with the cranked jaws shaft,<br />
ensures that, when rotated, the shank of the hook turns around its own axis. Parallel clamping of<br />

Available in desk Clamp<br />

optional extra is a patented<br />
ball joint on the vice shaft.<br />
This gives movement<br />
in all planes, which<br />
coupled with the<br />
360° rotation facility<br />
allows viewing<br />
of the fly from<br />
all angles during<br />
tying. This facility<br />
can be particularly<br />
useful when tying<br />
very small dry flies or<br />
when using Epoxy resin for<br />
Buzzers or Saltwater flies. The<br />
ball joint allows unlimited<br />
movement, so the Epoxy can<br />
be accurately ‘run’ into the<br />
required shape, while it sets.<br />

Flies & <strong>Fly</strong> Tying<br />
<strong>Fly</strong> Selections<br />
A unique collection of purposely chosen flies selected from a wide range<br />
of modern fly patterns by our own Simon Kidd, in conjunction with World<br />
<strong>Fly</strong> <strong>Fishing</strong> Champion Iain Barr. Using the very latest materials <strong>and</strong> colour<br />
options available, we have once again this year made a few updates <strong>and</strong><br />
added 10 new selections to cover more fly fishing applications than ever<br />
before. Only flies they would use themselves make the range so you can<br />
fish these patterns with complete confidence, knowing they are well<br />
made, look great <strong>and</strong> will successfully catch fish!<br />
SF126 Quill Buzzers<br />
Stillwater Nymphs, Lures <strong>and</strong> Dries<br />
These flies range from the natural, with optimum presentation in mind, to the<br />
extremely simple <strong>and</strong> wildly successful modern flies of today. Offering plenty<br />
of choice for large <strong>and</strong> small Stillwater anglers, with some great new, musthave<br />
patterns for the new season. This year we have modified the increasingly<br />
popular Snake patterns for use where permitted, into a weighted <strong>and</strong><br />
unweighted option in the four most popular colours. We have also added a<br />
mix of small <strong>and</strong> deadly fry patterns plus a selection of the most sought-after<br />
style of modern dry flies, in the Daddy Potter.<br />
SF100<br />
SF102<br />
SF103<br />
SF104<br />
Whether choosing such highly visual dries, mobile lures, or simple early<br />
season nymphs <strong>and</strong> buzzers, there are plenty of proven <strong>and</strong> highly successful<br />
options to choose from across the carded range. Most feature the latest <strong>and</strong><br />
most modern patterns, all on best quality hooks <strong>and</strong> this year we have added<br />
two new classics too, the Infallible Stillwater, with a mix of Damsels, nymphs<br />
<strong>and</strong> attractor patterns <strong>and</strong> the highly mobile <strong>and</strong> much requested Straggle<br />
Fritz patterns on the other. For a choice of flies never to leave home without,<br />
you need look no further! Most of the Stillwater patterns are un-weighted but<br />
some have added weight inducing extra mobility <strong>and</strong> movement to aid <strong>and</strong><br />
depth control.<br />

traditional black <strong>and</strong> modern nickel silver hooks whilst the sea trout patterns<br />
need no introduction whatsoever. They are a simple <strong>and</strong> represent a small<br />
range of the most popular traditional patterns. Conversely the saltwater<br />
patterns have been constructed using some of the most efficient materials<br />
used in fly tying today to represent the most lifelike of prey especially for the<br />
increasingly popular pursuit of wily Bass <strong>and</strong> other predators on the fly.<br />

<strong>Snowbee</strong> ‘Ogden’s’ <strong>Fly</strong> Floatant<br />
<strong>and</strong> Tippet & <strong>Fly</strong> Sinkant<br />
Two novel products providing everything a fly<br />
fisher could need. Our new Ogden’s fly floatant is<br />
remarkable <strong>and</strong> provides incredible floatability once<br />
applied <strong>and</strong> without such a telltale slick that many<br />
other alternatives leave behind. It lasts <strong>and</strong> really<br />
works with its very modern <strong>and</strong> inert formula <strong>and</strong><br />
without doubt the best fly floatant we have ever<br />
used!<br />
The new Tippet Sinkant is similarly effective in what<br />
it has been designed to do <strong>and</strong> helps the flies <strong>and</strong><br />
leader break through the surface film <strong>and</strong> tension<br />
helping even the lightest of tippets <strong>and</strong> flies to cut<br />
quickly through the surface when required.<br />

Tippet & Leaders<br />
XS-Plus Gold Leader <strong>and</strong> Tippet Material<br />
A breed of tippet materials, incorporating the very latest in material<br />
<strong>and</strong> extrusion technologies, to create lines as good as anything on<br />
the market… <strong>and</strong> better than most!<br />
XS-Plus Gold Super-Fluorocarbon<br />
As strong <strong>and</strong> smooth as the best nylon Co-Polymers, our 'Gold St<strong>and</strong>ard' Super-Fluorocarbon represents the<br />
latest development in fluorocarbon line technology. Utilising the latest thinking in material technology, the PVDF<br />
copolymer is mainly used in critical applications requiring a high degree of purity <strong>and</strong> excellent mechanical<br />
properties. Combined with a new ‘state-of-the-art’ extrusion process, our new XS-Plus Gold can reach the<br />
tenacity <strong>and</strong> strength of a high quality nylon copolymer, yet offers all the advantages of a 100% fluorocarbon line.<br />
Features<br />
• 100% premium quality Japanese fluorocarbon<br />
• Low refractive index provides total clarity<br />
in water for minimal visibility in all light <strong>and</strong><br />
water conditions • Super-high knot strength<br />
to diameter ratio • Silky smooth finish allows<br />
wetted knots to pull up smoothly with minimal<br />
knot-burn • Excellent abrasion resistance <strong>and</strong><br />
low memory • Super strong formula makes<br />
this line very supple for superior presentation<br />
• Low stretch <strong>and</strong> water absorption for the<br />
ultimate in consistent performance.<br />
XS-Plus Gold Super-Copolymer<br />
Our XS-Plus Gold Super Copolymer is the number one choice<br />
for the most dem<strong>and</strong>ing angler. This latest development in line<br />
technology is one of the most high-tech products on the market today,<br />
thanks to a new ‘state-of-the-art’ extrusion process coupled with a very<br />
expensive raw material – no expense has been spared to create the ultimate<br />
tippet line. XS-Plus Gold, provides maximum strength, without sacrificing the<br />
other features dem<strong>and</strong>ed by today’s discerning fly fisherman.<br />
Features<br />
• High knot strength • Controlled stretch • High <strong>and</strong> consistent tensile<br />
strength in water • Excellent impact strength to help avoid those smash<br />
takes • Super smooth finish • Low memory provides high resistance to<br />
kinking • Excellent abrasion resistance for long term durability.<br />
What is amazing about this line, notwithst<strong>and</strong>ing its super-high knot strength,<br />
is its limited stretch factor of 22–24% elongation which dramatically improves<br />
bite detection, whilst allowing sufficient stretch to avoid shaking fish off when<br />
using barbless hooks. For convenience, both our XS-Plus Gold lines come on<br />
smaller spools. These super-narrow, 50m spools will join together if required<br />
<strong>and</strong> at just 65mm diameter, fit easily into any fly vest pocket or tippet spool<br />
holder. Each line weight is colour-coded with an elasticated retainer, which<br />
not only gives you quick <strong>and</strong> easy line identification, but also holds the line in<br />
place <strong>and</strong> stops that annoying un-spooling!<br />

XS ‘Spectre’ Copolymer Nylon - Camo<br />
An extension to the clear XS range, this line has been processed with finesse in mind,<br />
for the truly serious game angler. The line has been treated to add natural green <strong>and</strong><br />
brown colours, to blend effortlessly with its environment. The knot <strong>and</strong> break strength<br />
exceeds all expectations <strong>and</strong> the stretch <strong>and</strong> suppleness provide a unique product.<br />
Whether fishing fine dry fly tippets, or LRF off the shore, this material could provide<br />
the best solution yet for unmatched tippet performance <strong>and</strong> stealth, coupled with<br />
the ultimate in presentation. Last year we introduced new packaging for this premium<br />
product. New, thin profile spools to easily fit vest or jacket pockets, which also interlock<br />
if required. Each line weight is colour-coded with an elasticated retainer, which not<br />
only allows quick <strong>and</strong> easy line identification, but<br />
also holds the line in place <strong>and</strong> stops annoying<br />
un-spooling!<br />
Features<br />
• Ultra soft <strong>and</strong> supple for drag free presentation • Medium stretch for sensitivity<br />
<strong>and</strong> superb knot strength, combining to give the maximum ‘break off’ resistance<br />
• Camo coloured to break down profile <strong>and</strong> provide ultra stealthy presentation<br />
• High abrasion resistance • Low memory <strong>and</strong> amazing strength for the ultimate<br />
leader/tippet performance.<br />

Poly-Coated Leaders<br />
Our range of Poly-Coated Leaders represents three years of development<br />
work to ensure we got it just right. Available in the required modern lengths<br />
of 5ft <strong>and</strong> 10ft in trout <strong>and</strong> salmon models. The trout models are extruded<br />
onto 0.40mm (15lb BS) clear monofilament core, while the salmon models<br />
use 0.55mm (30lb BS). Both have neat welded loops on the butt end to<br />
allow simple ‘loop to loop’ connection to your fly line, with an 8” un-coated<br />
monofilament tip, with a Perfection Loop tied in the end, which can be cut<br />
off if not required. The thermoplastic polymer coating has a precision taper<br />
<strong>and</strong> a silky-smooth finish, to ensure a controlled turnover <strong>and</strong> presentation.<br />
The five different densities available allow accurate presentation of your fly at<br />
any chosen depth.<br />

Smoker Cooker<br />
Smoking has been a traditional way of preserving food, stretching back thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />
of years, where our ancestors discovered that hanging meats <strong>and</strong> fish up close to<br />
a fire, extended the time they remained fresh. Over the centuries, the smoking<br />
technique has been refined <strong>and</strong> we now have two basic smoking methods; Cold<br />
Smoking, as used for salmon, where the food is only smoked but not cooked; <strong>and</strong><br />
Hot Smoking where the cooking <strong>and</strong> smoking process take place together.<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> has been making its famous Smoker Cooker for over 30 years <strong>and</strong> in all<br />
that time, little has changed in this superb design, as we got it just right, from the<br />
start! Manufactured from corrosion-resistant grade 430 stainless steel to provide many<br />
years of smoking service. The 18/0 material, has a high nickel content, making it hard,<br />
tough <strong>and</strong> stain-resistant. The base uses a black, electroforming process, for a tough,<br />
corrosion-resistant finish. Many have attempted to copy our original design but beware<br />
of cheaper imitations, which use inferior grade materials <strong>and</strong> are not truly ‘stainless’.<br />
19011 Smoker Cooker<br />
Generously sized, the Smoker Cooker is constructed in stainless steel for easy cleaning<br />
<strong>and</strong> long life. It will take four or five small trout, or two large fish, headed <strong>and</strong> tailed.<br />
Comes with st<strong>and</strong>, two fuel pans<br />
with heat adjustment, cooking<br />
pan, lid with adjustable smoke<br />
vent, drip tray <strong>and</strong> grill. Packs<br />
away neatly for convenient<br />
storage. Quick <strong>and</strong> efficient hot<br />
smoking of fish, meats, poultry<br />
etc, cooks AND smokes in one<br />
process, so smoked fish is ready<br />
in as little as 15 minutes.<br />
Uses methylated spirit fuel<br />
(not supplied).<br />
Size: 16½”x 10½”x 4½”<br />
Wood dusts for smoking<br />
Top quality, kiln dried English Oak dust – 100% natural <strong>and</strong> sustainably sourced, ensuring you get the best<br />
smoke flavour, every time. Suitable for both Hot <strong>and</strong> Cold Smokers. Packed in re-sealable 250g bags –<br />
sufficient for 4 or 5 full smokings. The smoker dust is finer than chippings <strong>and</strong> burns slowly giving even more<br />
flavour. Try these on the barbecue to add a rich smokey flavour to all outdoor cooking. See our website at:<br />
www.snowbee.co.uk/fly-fishing/accessories-float-tubing/#smoker for tips on how to make your Smoking<br />
<strong>and</strong> BBQ experience more enjoyable.<br />
19010-D English Oak Smoker Dust<br />
The original smoker dust has always been the mainstay of home <strong>and</strong> commercial smoking, of almost all<br />
foods, from meats to fish. Can be mixed with other wood dusts to vary the flavours, <strong>and</strong> works particularly<br />
well with apple to add flavour to meat products, such as sausages etc.<br />

Deep Blue Spinning Rods<br />
The perfect combination of the latest thinking in rod design coupled with <strong>Snowbee</strong> technology to<br />
bring you a new range of Lure spinning rods at the cutting edge of modern lure fishing design.<br />
With a strong pedigree from our previous Raptor <strong>and</strong> Kuroshio models, we have combined the best of both <strong>and</strong> the result is the stunning new range<br />
of Deep Blue Spinning Rods. This new high-tech range offers superb performance across a range of rods for all styles of lure fishing. There is an ultralightweight<br />
LRF model, designed for lures in the 2-15g range, designed for the ultimate flexibility <strong>and</strong> sensitivity when fishing light. Ideal for micro soft<br />
lure fishing, but with enough backbone when a powerful wrasse snatches your lure <strong>and</strong> heads for the kelp!<br />
The other four models in the range come in the most popular 8ft & 9ft lengths <strong>and</strong> in both 10-30g <strong>and</strong> 20-50g<br />
lure weights, to offer a size <strong>and</strong> weight for all styles of lure fishing, whether spinning, fishing plugs or soft baits.<br />
All models feature high-tech, 4-pce blanks, making transporting rods so much easier, but sacrificing none of<br />
the action, through innovative use of different grades of carbon throughout the blank. The h<strong>and</strong>le <strong>and</strong> reelseat<br />
configuration uses the latest Japanese design <strong>and</strong> the entire rod is finished in our signature, lustrous Deep<br />
Blue colour with subtle self-colour whippings <strong>and</strong> silver trim. Lightweight, stainless steel guides, with a chrome<br />
finish to make them salt-water resistant. All models come complete with a quality cotton drill rod bag.<br />

Deep Blue Jigging Rods<br />
Following on from the Japanese ‘Speed Jigging’ craze, the new method of<br />
‘Slow Jigging’ is proving far more popular <strong>and</strong> successful for our UK species.<br />
Similar in basic principle, but rather than working the jig fast, in a cyclical<br />
‘crank & jig’ motion, Slow Jigging involves working the jigs close to the<br />
bottom in a more relaxed fashion, allowing the lighter, wider jigs to rise<br />
<strong>and</strong> ‘flutter’ back down, which most predatory fish find irresistible.<br />
As one the pioneers of Speed Jigging in the UK, we have been using this<br />
‘Slow Jigging’ technique on our own test boat Deep Blue 3 for the past<br />
10 years <strong>and</strong> it has proved to be a highly effective method for cod <strong>and</strong><br />
other bottom dwelling species.<br />
The new Deep Blue Jigging Rods are ultra-lightweight for all day fishing<br />
comfort but use high modulus carbon for a fast, powerful action, to<br />
impart maximum movement to the jigs. The graphite reel seat <strong>and</strong><br />
low-rider style guides are equally at home using either a conventional<br />
multiplier reel or turn the rod up the other way <strong>and</strong> team it up with one<br />
of the new generation fixed spool Jigging reels.<br />
At 6ft 6ins they are the ideal length for Jigging – long enough to ‘work’<br />
the jig effectively, but short enough to apply pressure to set the hook,<br />
when the inevitable ‘smash takes’ occur.<br />
Our new range includes 3 models; an ultra-lightweight jigging rod, rated for<br />
lines of 8 – 15lbs <strong>and</strong> jigs of 30-100g, a medium weight rod, rated for lines<br />
of 15-25lbs <strong>and</strong> jigs of 70-120g <strong>and</strong> a heavyweight model, rated for lines of<br />
20-35lbs <strong>and</strong> jigs of 130-200g. These three models cover all requirements<br />
from ultra-lightweight, shallow water reef fishing, through jigging for Bass<br />
on inshore wrecks, when they shoal-up in the autumn, to wreck fishing, in<br />
deeper water, where heavier jigs are needed, to get down fast. This concise<br />
range offers a model suitable for both shallow water slow jigging <strong>and</strong> deep<br />
water speed jigging.<br />
Deep Blue – take on the best the oceans have to<br />
offer… <strong>and</strong> win!<br />
The 3-pce blanks, break down to a<br />
convenient 30” for travelling <strong>and</strong> are<br />
finished in our signature, lustrous Deep<br />
Blue colour, with subtle self-colour<br />
whippings <strong>and</strong> silver trim.<br />
The high density foam grips offer all<br />
day comfort <strong>and</strong> warmth, for winter fishing. The rods come in a cotton drill<br />
rod bag. Lightweight, stainless steel guides, with a chrome finish, to make<br />
them salt-water resistant. All models come complete with a quality cotton<br />
drill rod bag.<br />
There is certainly more to speed jigging than meets the eye; do it wrong<br />
<strong>and</strong> you may as well use conventional methods, but do it right <strong>and</strong> it can,<br />
without doubt, be the most deadly, effective <strong>and</strong> exciting fishing method,<br />
for a vast array of species – pollack, cod, ling, whiting <strong>and</strong> even bass!<br />
Aboard our own test vessel, Deep Blue 3 , for the past 10 years we have<br />
fished jigs almost to the exclusion of every other fishing method <strong>and</strong><br />
proved time <strong>and</strong> time again, that it will out-fish most other methods,<br />
including long flowing traces with artificial S<strong>and</strong>eels or<br />
Shads. For full details on this exciting fishing method,<br />

Deep Blue 2 Boat Rods<br />
Since their introduction over 14 years ago, the Deep Blue Boat Rods have built a<br />
‘cult following’, amongst discerning boat anglers, looking for the best money can<br />
buy. Make no mistake, the Deep Blue range was developed over a period of two<br />
years testing to meet the dem<strong>and</strong>s of UK boat anglers looking for perfection.<br />
Over the years, they have been steadily upgraded, but fans of the original<br />
Deep Blue range need not worry, as the latest Deep Blue 2 models, have an<br />
even lighter, crisper action than their predecessors!<br />
All Deep Blue 2 Rods come in a quality,<br />
heavy duty cotton drill rod bag.<br />
Finished in the same lustrous deep blue, with subtle cross-whippings <strong>and</strong><br />
decals <strong>and</strong> using lightweight graphite reel seats <strong>and</strong> chrome-plated stainless<br />
steel rings to prevent corrosion. Accurately rated to IGFA line classes <strong>and</strong><br />
at 7ft 7ins they offer the ideal length for the serious boat angler<br />
<strong>and</strong> include a model to suit all fishing situations.<br />
10201 Deep Blue 2 8lb (4kg) class<br />
An ultra-sensitive inshore rod, ideal for bass, plaice, brill etc.<br />
Teamed up with the smallest multiplier reel, this is undoubtedly<br />
the best lightweight outfit available.<br />
10209 Deep Blue 2 8lb (4kg) class 'S-Flex'<br />
Based on the st<strong>and</strong>ard 8lb Class model, but with an ultra-soft<br />
Korean S-Glass tip section, for supreme sensitivity. The perfect<br />
rod for plaice or bream fishing, or livebait fishing for bass <strong>and</strong><br />
other species.<br />
10202 Deep Blue 2 12lb (6kg) class<br />
The 12lb is the perfect choice for the inshore angler fishing reefs<br />
<strong>and</strong> inshore drop-offs, but with enough grunt for reef pollack etc.<br />
10205 Deep Blue 2 12lb (6kg) class 'S-Flex'<br />
Based on the st<strong>and</strong>ard 12lb Class model, but with the same<br />
ultra-sensitive tip as the 8lb 'S-Class' model. Ideal for heavier bait<br />
fishing for turbot or black bream <strong>and</strong> ideal for livebait fishing.<br />
10203 Deep Blue 2 20lb (10kg) class<br />
Without doubt the best ‘all-rounder’ in the range. The 20lb Deep Blue 2<br />
offers the seasoned boat angler the best of both worlds. Sensitive<br />
enough to fish inshore for bass etc, but with enough reserves of power<br />
to tame the hardest fighting wreck pollack.<br />
10204 Deep Blue 2 30lb (15kg) class<br />
The 30lb model is for the serious boat angler who predominantly<br />
fishes wrecks. It is a very powerful rod <strong>and</strong> the only rod we use for our<br />
blue shark trips. More than enough power to haul monster conger <strong>and</strong><br />
ling out of deep-water wrecks.<br />

Sea <strong>Fishing</strong> Reels //<br />
Deep Blue Boat Reels<br />
Now the 4th generation of our famous Deep Blue multipliers…<br />
<strong>and</strong> they just keep getting better!<br />
The original Deep Blue Boat Reels were first introduced, way back in 2011 <strong>and</strong> have attracted a<br />
‘cult following’ since, due to their supreme reliability & performance.<br />
These all-new models take the best features of their predecessors <strong>and</strong> improves<br />
on them! Probably the most important being the Twin-Drag System. Traditionally,<br />
most boat reels have a single disc-drag, which applies drag pressure on one<br />
side of the spool. When fighting big fish especially, our new reels using a Twin-<br />
Drag system, with advanced HT100 Carbon Fibre & Titanium drag discs, apply<br />
pressure equally to both sides of the spool, providing a perfectly even <strong>and</strong> best<br />
possible balanced drag.<br />
This also of course provides double the drag pressure, to a class-leading<br />
maximum 30kg of drag! The increased drag to surface area, also results in<br />
near zero start-up inertia, <strong>and</strong> with their silky-smooth drag performance, helps<br />
avoid frustrating break-offs possible from smash takes <strong>and</strong> typically bigger fish.<br />
Operated using the single lever drag control, provides superb <strong>and</strong> smooth<br />
control across the Dual-drag system from zero to maximum.<br />
9+2 oversize, Japanese S/S shielded bearings, provide smoother running & all<br />
internal components are either Stainless Steel or aluminium, for total corrosion<br />
resistance.<br />
The frame & spool are CNC machined from solid bar-stock, aerospace grade<br />
AL6061-T6 aluminium, for strength & light weight, with a hard anodised finish to<br />
provide total saltwater corrosion & chip resistance.<br />
The main <strong>and</strong> pinion gears, are also stainless steel & provide high gear ratios for<br />
faster retrieve (See specifications below). A double anodised <strong>and</strong> perforated freespool<br />
system allows faster line-out, whilst a one-way S/S Roller bearing provides<br />
the trustworthy anti-reverse, “Power-Lock” system. Combining all these features<br />
provides care-free reliability throughout, allowing you to concentrate on the fishing!<br />
Both fitted with a comfortable ergonomic foam h<strong>and</strong>le, providing excellent grip, all<br />
year round!<br />
Each reel comes complete with a Rod Clamp, plus a Neoprene reel case.<br />
Ratio 5.1:1 - Line Retrieve per H<strong>and</strong>le crank: – approx. 71cms / 28” at full spool.<br />

Sea Angling Accessories<br />
Stinger Skad Lures<br />
In the 10 years since their launch Stinger Skads have revolutionised<br />
lure fishing with regular reports of them out fishing all previous market<br />
leaders! Both the S<strong>and</strong>eel <strong>and</strong> Shad lure patterns have their limitations<br />
depending on what the fish are feeding on, so the Skad lure is a hybrid of<br />
the two – cunningly imitating both, so effective when fish are feeding on<br />
either s<strong>and</strong>eel, or small baitfish, such as pout, mackerel or herring.<br />
The high grade, natural scent PVC material provides a highly durable<br />
lure that will not tear apart the first time a fish hits it. The highly elastic<br />
tail is able to 'stretch' when fish are 'biting shy', rather than snap-off<br />
as has been the case with some lures. This new material is also crystal<br />
clear, unlike many of our competitors, whose lures use an opaque material.<br />
The advantage of this clarity is a clear light reflection off the outer surface,<br />
coupled with an enticing holographic shimmer, off the internal lead-weight<br />
foil wrap – a combination which any predatory fish finds irresistible.<br />
The combination of moulded tail 'slots', plus an oversized 'paddle' tail,<br />
not only creates an exaggerated tail action, even at very low speeds,<br />
but also sets up additional undersea noise – a proven fish attractor.<br />
Over-size, ultra-sharp hooks ensure fish stay hooked, plus large,<br />
holographic eyes are a known 'trigger point' for any predatory fish.<br />
The Skad can be fished on a traditional long flowing trace <strong>and</strong> boom<br />
over reef or wrecks for species such as pollack, cod <strong>and</strong> ling, or used<br />
as a casting lure for inshore species such as bass, pollack, mackerel.<br />

shaped' profile to the individual compartments, allows one arm of the trebles<br />
to sit down in the 'keel slot' allowing the lure to sit comfortably in the 'V'<br />
formed by the other two arms. Simple, but highly effective. The double sided<br />
design also features clear lids for quick identification, plus drain / ventilation<br />
holes, so lures can be washed down after use in saltwater <strong>and</strong> left to dry in the<br />
box with adequate ventilation to prevent corrosion. Available in 2 sizes:<br />

Technical Specifications<br />
Vapour-Tec® - How it all works<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> Vapour-Tec® is a true outdoor fabric. The key to<br />
its enhanced performance <strong>and</strong> unmatched comfort is in the<br />
advanced TPU microporous laminate. TPU is a Hydrophilic<br />
membrane, the structure of which allows moisture to be<br />
wicked away from the body <strong>and</strong> transferred through the fabric<br />
to the outside in the evaporated state. The micro-pores in<br />
the TPU laminate are large enough to allow moisture vapour<br />
(perspiration) out, but far too small to allow water molecules in,<br />
making the fabric totally waterproof. This breathable membrane<br />
is laminated to a tough outer shell, combining softness with<br />
strength <strong>and</strong> wind-resistance.<br />
As you warm up inside the garment, the air inside becomes hot <strong>and</strong> humid, relative to that outside. This<br />
raises the vapour pressure inside which forces moisture, in the form of perspiration <strong>and</strong> condensation,<br />
through the PU Breathable membrane, leaving you cool <strong>and</strong> dry all day long.<br />

Waders<br />
Breathable Waders<br />
Before you buy, the MOST important factor to consider is<br />
the material specification. Not all breathable materials are<br />
the same. The performance of breathable materials, is<br />
measured in two ways.<br />
1. Breathability – measured in grams of moisture<br />
which can pass through the material per m 2 per 24hrs.<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> Breathable Wader material can transfer up<br />
to an impressive 4,000g/m 2 /24hrs, on all models.<br />
2. Waterproofness – measured as the hydrostatic<br />
water pressure the material can withst<strong>and</strong> – given as<br />
the ‘head’ of water, in mm. Many manufacturers use<br />
inferior materials, with a hydrostatic pressure rating<br />
of less than 5,000mm. <strong>Snowbee</strong> use only the best<br />
materials available, able to withst<strong>and</strong> a hydrostatic<br />
pressure of up to 15,000mm.<br />
Breathable Jackets & Trousers<br />
The same applies to our Jackets & Trousers. Most<br />
manufacturers use material with a hydrostatic<br />
pressure rating of only 3,000mm. Our <strong>Prestige</strong> 2<br />
Breathable clothing range uses a breathable material<br />
with an impressive hydrostatic pressure rating of<br />
8,000mm <strong>and</strong> a breathability of 4,000 g/m 2 /24 hrs.<br />

Wader sole choice<br />
We produce a range of soles, each<br />
designed for a specific purpose:<br />
• The Cleated sole, is most suitable for<br />
general use on s<strong>and</strong>, mud, shingle etc.<br />
• The Combi-Sole incorporates a<br />
felt-sole <strong>and</strong> deep cleated heel.<br />
• This is unique <strong>and</strong> the heavy-duty<br />
Studded full Felt-Sole<br />
heel digs in on wet grass or muddy<br />
banks, whilst the felt-sole gives unsurpassed grip on rocks etc in the fastest of<br />
rivers. Trials have shown that there is no loss of grip in the river by not having<br />
a felt-heel, if unsure of your footing, you naturally transfer the weight to the<br />
balls of your feet – where you need <strong>and</strong> find the grip!<br />
• The studded full Felt-Sole on the <strong>Prestige</strong> STX2 breathable waders, with<br />
hardened alloy studs, coupled with felt-soles, provide sure grip on any<br />
slippery surfaces.<br />
• For additional grip our Screw-in Studs may be added to the heels<br />
of Felt-Sole or Cleated sole waders.<br />
Wader care<br />
All <strong>Snowbee</strong> waders are made from synthetic<br />
materials, which are not susceptible to cracking<br />
or perishing, like the old rubber waders were. The<br />
sun will however degrade synthetic materials, so it<br />
is recommended that waders are stored out of direct<br />
sunlight. Creasing, whilst unsightly, does not adversely<br />
affect the performance of waders <strong>and</strong> the best way<br />
of avoiding this is to hang the waders upside down in a<br />
<strong>Snowbee</strong> Wader Rack – see page 89. After use in saltwater or brackish<br />
water, the waders should always be washed down with fresh water, <strong>and</strong><br />
felt soles should always be hosed off well with fresh water after every<br />
fishing trip, to remove mud deposits. Without this, the soles will become<br />
hard, wear faster, be less effective <strong>and</strong> can cause the soles to become<br />
rigid <strong>and</strong> peel off.<br />
Original Purchaser<br />
Lifetime Guarantee<br />
For peace of mind, <strong>Snowbee</strong> f ly rods<br />
come with an Original Purchaser<br />
Lifetime Guarantee.<br />
This guarantee is limited to the original purchaser <strong>and</strong> is not transferable to future<br />
owners. To accept this additional guarantee, details of your product <strong>and</strong> the<br />
purchaser must be registered on our website within 30 days of purchase. Failure<br />
to register your purchase will invalidate this additional guarantee. If, during the<br />
lifetime of the original purchaser, the rod should break or fail for whatever reason,<br />
simply complete the form on our website.<br />
<strong>Fly</strong> rod breakages <strong>and</strong> rod care<br />
Whilst all <strong>Snowbee</strong> <strong>Fly</strong> Rods are covered by our Original Purchaser<br />
Lifetime Guarantee, carbon fibre is brittle <strong>and</strong> rod breakages can<br />
occasionally occur resulting in additional cost <strong>and</strong> inconvenience<br />
for the owner. Contrary to popular belief however, modern carbon<br />
fibre rods rarely break as a result of poor manufacture during<br />
the natural flexing forces of fly casting <strong>and</strong> playing fish. Rods are<br />
generally ‘broken’ for one reason or another <strong>and</strong> often whilst casting<br />
or playing a fish, when the rod can become ‘over-flexed’ or hit with<br />
a fly for example, which can cause microscopic fractures, leading<br />
to breakages, then or shortly after. Car doors <strong>and</strong> feet are also a<br />
common factor, so to avoid rod breakage we therefore offer the<br />
following advice:<br />
Never<br />
• Lift fish out of the water with the rod – always use a net<br />
• Use a fly line more than one line weight above the rod’s rating<br />
• Jerk the rod or use the tip to pull flies free from rocks or trees<br />
• Support the weight of the rod by the tip section<br />
• Pull line through the rod tip, while holding the rod h<strong>and</strong>le<br />
• Walk with the rod tip facing forward<br />
• Lean a rod against an open car door or boot – it is sure to fall or<br />
someone close the door on it!<br />
• Place a rod on the ground – either you or someone else is sure to<br />
st<strong>and</strong> on it<br />
Always<br />
• When netting a fish, exercise extreme care not to over-compress<br />
the tip of the rod – a common cause of rod breakages.<br />
• When assembling the rod take extra care when threading fly line<br />
or leader through the rings.<br />
• Transport <strong>and</strong> store the rod in a safe place <strong>and</strong> in its rod tube.<br />
• Try to avoid rod impact damage: especially when using goldheads<br />
or any weighted flies that can be travelling in excess of 80mph.<br />
Hitting the rod blank will easily cause stress fractures<br />
• Check that the sections are properly aligned <strong>and</strong> securely pressed<br />
together at all times. Applying a little c<strong>and</strong>le wax to new joints can<br />
help prevent them coming apart during casting<br />
Double-h<strong>and</strong>ed ‘Spey’ rods<br />
Spey-casting involves a circular casting motion that can cause rod<br />
joints to work loose. We strongly recommend taping the joints prior to<br />
use therefore, to help prevent this.<br />

Prolong the life of your <strong>Snowbee</strong><br />
waders <strong>and</strong> clothing<br />
• Avoid contamination by grease, or any oil based fluids.<br />
These will severely reduce the integrity of the fabric. In the<br />
event of contamination rinse the garment immediately in<br />
lukewarm soapy water <strong>and</strong> rinse thoroughly.<br />
• Avoid sharp objects which may cause punctures to the<br />
material.<br />
• Waders should be rinsed with fresh water after use,<br />
paying particular attention to felt soles on boots.<br />
• Hang waders by the boots, in a <strong>Snowbee</strong> Wader-Rack<br />
to allow drying out.<br />
If you find it necessary to wash breathable clothing then<br />
a gentle non-biological detergent should be used. The<br />
garment may be re-proofed by using our new DWR<br />
reproofing product – Stormsure Stormproof DWR Spray –<br />
see page 95 for details.<br />
