Zander on the Barrio SLX #8 fly line ..... looks like fun

Not what the line was designed to do, but it seems to be coping ..............

nope, but as Akos wrote, cutting back the tip +/- 60 cm makes it work really well. i did this on my 8wt and it's a peach with heavier/bigger flies. 

best though is the 'falling in' part...

Can we have a Zander on the box please Mike

I hope to be fishing a certain lake in Surrey in the near future for Zander on the fly...maybe I need to rethink my gear.

Fished the SLX 5 lastnight with streamers for the first time, wow that lines really gets them out there, very handy in the darkness. Once I got used to the lines taper it was bank shots all evening. Even managed a fish or two..



Nice work on the line chaps.

I bought a #8 SLX several years ago when I first started fly fishing and put it away and tried all the popular lines and became better at casting.
Yesterday I line up with the SLX and wow, what have I been missing.

I just wish the running line was a little longer as I tend to shoot backing out sometimes.
Q: how line is this line?

Again, an awesome line.

Another one just purchased.
I use this for saltwater with the tip level trimmed.
This has to be the easiest line to cast full stop.
Love it to bits.
Backing slapping the fore grip every time

For those that have been waiting ...... the orange headed Barrio SLX is back

Just fired my new 5wt slx on a elderly orvis 10 footer for a #6 . just fab .easy casting speys nicely and seems to handle long Cove style buzzer leaders beautifully!
Thanks Mike !
