Quick take
An economical floating fly line suitable for trout, bass and panfish in streams, rivers and lakes.
This is the 9-weight size of the Air Cel, a plain weight-forward floating fly line in yellow. It has a 40-foot head on an 80-foot line, with 240 grains in the first 30 feet, a heavier setup suited to larger flies and bigger water. It handles dry flies, nymphs and streamers for trout, bass or panfish.
