BARRIO GT140 FLY LINES
Longbelly fly lines …….... with great turnover at distance!

The Barrio GT140 longbelly fly line was initially designed for casting in distance tournament competitions, but the turnover, line control and stability in the air offered by this design soon helped it to become a firm favourite with anglers as a fishing line.

The Barrio GT140 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. The GT140 series in WF5F to WF9F are 130 ft long and the WF2F to WF4F 90 ft versions are also proving extremely popular, as they give you such great line control in all manner of fishing situations.

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 GT140 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!

The GT140 series is available in two colour options, the Barrio GT140 in pale cream and the Barrio GT140S in high-vis orange.

Barrio GT90 Intermediate Fly Lines Barrio GT90 Floating Fly Lines

NEW PRODUCT FOR 2011 …… GT90 FLOATING AND INTERMEDIATE FLY LINES

Our new Barrio GT90 floating fly line is great for traditional trout fishing tactics. We have moved the weight slightly more forward in this design compared to the GT140 series and this careful weight distribution within the new 90 ft fly line makes it very easy to cast and control. The "Mushy Pea" light olive colour is excellent for a stealthy approach to wary, selective fish and is very subtle in the air with minimal line flash, yet nice and visible on the water surface to the angler.

Smooth and supple, effortless casting, the new Barrio GT90 lies nice and straight on the water. An excellent all rounder, the line roll casts, lifts off and mends with ease and is suitable for anglers of all levels of casting ability.

Our new Barrio GT90 intermediate fly line is slow sinking ( approx 1.5 IPS ) and ideal for keeping your flies under control in the sub-surface taking zone. This new design helps with great aerial line control for both accuracy and distance casting. The "Greengrass" green colour looks quite at home in amongst the weed and is excellent for a stealthy approach to wary, selective fish, yet nice and visible in the water to the angler.

Smooth and supple, effortless casting, the new Barrio GT90 intermediate lies nice and straight in the water and feels slick in your hand. An excellent all rounder, the line lifts off the water very well for an intermediate. A great fly line for anglers of all levels of casting ability.

AFFTA Fly line weight chart

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 chart on the left 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 rod.

Apart from the changes needed to produce the various line weights in the range, each of our fly line sizes has an individual profile with balanced tapers that help to keep you in control.
