XS fly lines were developed by Snowbee over 25 years ago, and are still reputedly the best traditional fly lines on the market. The Intermediate Sink Tip version is ideal for serious trout and sea trout anglers.

Legendary XS Quality

The unique coating formula and profile, along with the classic low-stretch core, creates a supple and memory-free performance. This is what’s made the XS range the champion of fly lines for over two and a half decades.

Sub-Surface Profile

Snowbee’s Sub-Surface fly lines are all made with the same exacting profile to avoid the inherent hinging and 'kick' associated with some sink tip lines. This profile offers the best possible presentation and turnover.

Great Casting, Sink Rate & Depth Control

The sink tip line exhibits superb casting performance, especially if you pair it with a 13ft intermediate density sink tip. This line will hold subsurface, giving straight line contact with the fly to avoid missed takes. Meanwhile, depth control is achieved through speed of retrieve.
