Barrio GT90 Fly Line

The GT90 has a long head with a relatively short belly and front taper, to create a ‘front weighted’ line which loads a rod well at short range.

The extended rear taper offers superb casting stability, allowing skilled casters to aerialise long lengths of line, which is also ideal for mending line at range.

A finely balanced head, designed for turnover and accuracy at pretty much any distance, and a line which simply excels with long, smooth casting strokes and double hauling for absolute distance.

Supple 'cold water' lines with smooth, slick, durable coatings.

Designed for rivers and lochs and suitable for anglers of all levels of casting ability.




Line profile: individually customised, with each line size refined for presentation in that weight, plus compound tapers within these main tapers.

Head lengths: 45 - 50ft

Front taper & tip: 7 - 9ft

Belly: 14 - 16ft

Rear taper: 24 - 26ft


Loops: Fly line to leader connections are very much down to personal preferences, so we do our best offer choices.

(1) For those who prefer to craft their own connections - our lines are supplied without loops.

(2) For those who prefer braided loops - we offer Roman Moser braided loops in the accessories section.

(3) For those who prefer welded loops - we offer a custom welded loop service in the accessories section.


Country of manufacture: Made in the UK and the USA.

Colour: Olive

Price: £39.00

That's the first of the GT90 lines moving back to the new stock being made in Redditch.
