These fly lines have established a benchmark of excellence that is quite unique in fly line manufacture.
They are floating lines. The range is wt 5 (for river trout), wt 6 and wt 7 (still water, sea trout and grilse) and the new Javelin Spey, wt 10/11.
The Javelins float on top of the water, not in it. They therefore offer better lift-off.

The material content of the plastic coating is
superior in quality to that normally found in
the market. This meant there could be no manufacturing
cost constraint (we wanted to do this right).
As a consequence of the higher manufacturing cost,
the usual margins required by the retail trade
could not be accommodated. We therefore can only
market directly to the public.
Apart from the wt 5 river line, which is a single colour in olive green, all the others are two-tone, in an off-white for the front piece (14 yards for wt 6 & wt 7), and the remainder of the fly line in an olive green. The line, at either side of the white/green junction, (which gets significant wear and tear from the end ring of the rod), has been chemically coated to toughen it. This is the only line to have this process and therefore will outlast all other lines.
The Javelin is a registered name, and the profile of the fly lines is known as the Javelin taper. You can feel the silky smoothness of the lines and observe the matt finish. When wet these lines slick up and are capable of shooting considerable distances. These lines are memory-free.
A note about the Javelin Spey - this line is designed to help beginners and the more experienced alike. The rear part of the 55 ft head has been taken to nearly a wt 13 so that this will instantly load the rod for a roll or spey cast. The white part, in common with the wt 6 and 7, is a vital point of reference. It is not recommended that you cast with the white part immediately outside the tip of your rod.
The cost of these lines are £40 for wt 5, £45 for wt 6 and 7, and £55 for the Javelin Spey. To order these, please contact Trevor Morgan direct. We are confident that these lines are the very best available in the market and will offer an outstanding performance which should aid your casting ability significantly. Should you experience anything other than this, your money will be refunded forthwith.
