I went to the site and emailed through the contact us section and they emailed me back an address but I have yet to send it. The address is on my email at home (I'm at work) so I am not sure about the address at the moment but just send em an email explaining the problem and they either say yeah or neah right..... my line has literally only been used 6 or 7 times and apart from the split and the break looks like a brand new line so they would be hard pressed to not accept mine back....... not sure how old yours is but they may draw the line somewhere. But its worth a try for sure.

not meaning to bash at all I like airflo but I have had problems with 2 airflo lines as well, one cracked over time and broke and the other split while basically brand new and in the end broke. Both completely different lines...... but on the upside while they lasted they both casted awesome..... I like highend SA they cast nice and they last a while which is all I ask for so I use them for the majority of my fishing. I will be getting my airflo 40 plus line replaced as soon as I dig it out of my gear and send it back in. I was told perhaps I had recieved an old line and that they had a different coating process now or something along those lines. The company has good customer service or atleast they have had with me. And some of their lines are really good the 40 plus was my favorite streamer line and likely will remain that way once I get the new one. I also had a rio line that wore down a bit too fast and a cheap SA line that wore down a bit too fast...... I like to usually give the benefit of the doubt to the line companies as sometimes its the products fault and sometimes its the fishermans but for me the 40 plus line is the only higher end line that ever failed really really quick in like 6 trips or so. The rest have all been more economical lines and I feel should not have been expected to last as long........ I am just happy if I get 6 months outta a line and considering its use it is unfair to expect any line to last forever

Thanks LK I am one of those who asks questions that I could likely find answers for if I looked a little.

can anyone tell me if its the females that fly and the males do not? Seem to remember hearing that once but have no idea if its true....... just curious

Really glad to see someone started this thread again great pics everybody especially the 2 sunsets that maxwell and fisher26 posted sweet shots guys

Just thought I would take the time to mention these insects as they are currently out in force in my area. These ants sometimes can be a huge terrestrial hatch that sometimes does not get noticed by many anglers. The ants around canmore at the moment are quite large a size 8-10 dry fly hook although some appear they could pass as a 6 and I have seen them smaller as well at times. It is very likely that regardless of the area you are in these insect will make an appearance soon or in the coming month and could be the ticket for success especially when the very large ones are around..... alas I am stuck at work and cannot go out and fish some. None the less like many ants they often (but not always) work better fished without floatant or very lightly ginked but the flying ants do seem to be a bit more capable of staying afloat then the wingless variety. The ones here at the moment have a body that is dark brown-black 3 segments. Wings are a transparent rusty red and extend past the body and sit almost caddis style when they are on the ground. I believe and correct me if I am wrong these ants do not actually land on the water on purpose and therefore should be fished at times when they are very abundant or in windy conditions as both situations could cause enough of them to end up in the water to turn the fish onto them. The flightless variety are likely around as well and work well fished close to the banks when its windy...... I also sometimes fish an ant as part of a nymph rig when they are very abundant and have taken fish doing so. If anyone wants to chime in with any other usefull info about flying ants or ants in general feel free to do so.

I have a SA dt trout taper and really really like it. Funny thing is I had a buddy pick it up for me and the shop guy didn't want him to spend money on this line...... I dunno why but I guess not everyone likes em so much

nice! i like the new forum looks good guys
