Barrio Fly Lines ... smooth, supple, effortless casting!


New product for 2010 ..... our 140 ft longbelly Outcast Fly Line!


Suitable for most fly fishing styles and techniques, our high quality fly lines are certainly capable of casting a good distance, but more importantly, on the water they entice you to explore accurate and delicate casts at normal fishing ranges.

The launch of a Barrio fly line follows many months of fly line taper research and development and a tremendous amount of enthusiastic input and feedback from local anglers with a good range of casting ability. We are also very lucky to have a number of friends in the distance casting and casting instructor world and these are always keen to help with ideas for our new designs and keen to "play with the toys" in the review of each prototype throughout the process!

Anglers of all levels of casting ability will find the Barrio Mallard a very easy fly line to cast. With their nice supple feel, next to no memory and specially designed tapers, these lines are simply superb and they offer great value for money!

Barrio weight forward floating fly lines continue to be manufactured in their popular pale cream colour, but following some excellent customer feedback over the last couple of years …….. the latest Barrio double taper floating fly lines are now olive.

Barrio fly lines are manufactured for us in the UK to a very high standard and by using computer controlled production systems, we are able to incorporate minute changes within our fly line profiles.

The above chart shows the standard AFFTA specification weights for the first 30 feet of a fly line. These specifications are measured in grains and help to match a fly line to your fly rod.

Apart from the changes in diameter needed to produce the various fly line weights in the range, each of our fly line sizes has an individual profile with different belly and taper lengths. Balanced tapers that keep you in control and flatter your casting!

NEW PRODUCT FOR 2010 ….. THE BARRIO OUTCAST FLY LINE

We designed our Mallard series fly lines for fishing on small stillwaters and rivers, where presentation at short to medium range distances was our prime objective. Our new Barrio Outcast fly line has been designed to go further and incorporates what I feel are the main benefits of both weight forward and double taper fly lines.

The new 140 foot Outcast fly line has superb turnover, which allows large flies to be cast with control even in the lighter line sizes and still provides excellent presentation of small flies when combined with a tapered leader.

Our long, almost continuous rear taper after the relatively short belly and front taper, produces a line that will load a rod well at short range for "off the tip" casts, yet it allows huge lengths of line to be aerialised under control when distance is required.  This design combined with a new high performance coating allows anglers to shoot line from any length that they are comfortable with.

The Barrio Outcast excels at distance and provides a real alternative to other top end distance lines currently on the market, but with one real difference ….. it is a superb fishing line!
