Saltwater & Predator Fishing
Spectre RMX Saltwater Fly Rod
10019 Spectre Saltwater/Predator RMX Fly Rod 9’ #8
With the ever increasing popularity of saltwater, carp and pike fly fishing we have included a Saltwater Predator model to the Spectre range. This is not just the standard rod with a different logo! Purpose-designed for the requirements of these fly fishing disciplines, the blanks have steeper tapers and thicker wall profiles to handle the larger, more powerful fish likely to be encountered. Brushed aluminium-finish reel seat and high chrome guides, make the Spectre SP stand out from the crowd!
Geo-S Salmon & Saltwater Fly Reel
2019 saw the return of our amazing Geo-S fly reels – a range of reels, with which the world’s fly fishers could take on the best that the largest rivers and widest oceans could throw at them… and win!
This 'stacked drag disc' system is similar to that used in our original XS reels made by British Fly Reels all those years ago, in that some discs are 'locked' and some are free to rotate at their own speed. This not only allows for an ultra-smooth start up when a fish takes, with the drag discs all starting at their own speed, but the multi-surface drag provides a class-leading 46.5cm2 of drag surface area! Hard anodised in 'satin silver' for total chip and corrosion resistance.

XS-Plus Tropics Saltwater Fly Lines
Saltwater fly lines covering all the options required by the progressive saltwater fly fisher.
By careful manipulation of our ‘Nano Technology’ coating material, we have developed a new coating which is harder than usual, to withstand the rigours of the saltwater environment, but more importantly, retains its characteristics, even in the searing heat of the tropics, or on the hot deck of a flats skiff. This allows us to retain a core line, which ensures the supple, memory-free properties, customers have come to know and expect from a Snowbee fly line. This also makes the new range ideal for temperate climates, when fishing for striped or European bass.
TSWP-F Tropics Floating ‘Presentation' Line
A floating line with a longer head and extended tapers, designed for smaller flies and precise presentation. The ideal line when ‘sight fishing’ for bonefish, permit, jacks etc., where a smooth and quiet ‘lay-down’ of the fly is essential. The colour change at the back of the head, notifies the precise shoot point, which together with the fine running line makes distance casting effortless.
Colour: Lt.Blue/Aqua
Sizes: #7 - #10
Sink Rate: Floating
TSWBF-F Tropics Floating 'Big Fly' Line
Short, steep tapers and a short head designed for turning over big flies in confined spaces. Ideal when fishing big flies in amongst mangroves, or overhanging vegetation for tarpon, or any ‘open water’ application where big flies are essential. A colour change for the running line notifies the precise shoot point when longer casts are required.
Colour: Aqua/Dk.Blue
Sizes: #8 - #12
Sink Rate: Floating
TSWS-ST Tropics ‘Spectre’ Line
For a more ‘stealthy’ approach the ‘Spectre’ line has the same long head profile as our Presentation line, for delicate presentation. A floating head and running- line, with a 12ft clear intermediate tip. The 2-2.5ips tip will take flies down deeper, without spooking the quarry.
Colour: Clear/Aqua
Sizes: #7 - #12
Sink Rate: 2-2.5ips
TSWDC-FS Tropics 'Depth Charge' Line
When you need to get down deep and fast with either short or long casts, our new Tropics ‘Depth-Charge’ delivers on all counts. The short, shooting head profile and fine running line, will punch through a stiff wind effortlessly, whilst the 5-6 ips fast-sink head will get your fly down fast, to the ‘strike zone’. The colour change at the back of the head, notifies the precise 'shoot point' making distance casting effortless.
Colour: Graphite/Aqua
Sizes: #8 - #12
Sink Rate: 5-6ips
Saltwater Fly Selections
Sea Trout, Salmon and Surf
These selections offer a range of uncomplicated, modern patterns in striking colours and designs, plus a few of the old faithful, like the traditional Scottish salmon patterns in popular hook sizes. The salmon singles are tied on a selection of traditional black and modern nickel silver hooks whilst the sea trout patterns need no introduction either. These are a simple, select range of the most popular traditional sea trout patterns plus a modern card containing stinger trebles on wake flies, which when testing, accounted for some great fishing and all have a unique habit of going savagely ‘bump’ in the night! Finally, there is a small card of popular Bass Deceiver patterns for prospecting off the shore for that most illustrious of saltwater predators.
Saltwater / Predator Selections
Our Saltwater/Predator selections offer the destination fisher and those ‘fishing the salt’ nearer to home a great range of patterns to tempt any predatory fish from bonefish and tarpon to hard fighting bass and pollack. Be ready to ‘hangon’ though as our predator patterns, tied from traditional and modern synthetics for light casting, might just be about to catch a toothy critter more than you bargained for! Also included is a mixed selection containing some mobile and light casting pike flies plus a full ‘weed less’ card, for that stealthy presentation amongst the snags.
