The amazing “Thistledown” was primarily designed for the river and light fishing on small stillwaters but is now a regular companion on almost any application where an angler enjoys finesse, stealth and accuracy.
Thistledown is two-tone in colour, Shamrock Olive head with a Buckskin running line and 90ft in total length.
The short 34.5ft head has a long, compound front taper and slender running line behind for effortless casting and extended presentation, to attain whatever range is necessary.
The ultra-thin profile, combined with the super-smooth Nano coating helps maintain line speed and if used for nymphing, also provides extreme sensitivity.
Both ends are pre-looped, with micro welded loops (left), to maintain the line’s outstanding performance, so it is ready to go, straight from the box.
The original Thistledown fly line, first introduced in 2015 in the #2-5 weight.
Utterly unique and still one of Snowbee's best selling lines, as more and more anglers come to appreciate the advantages of using a Thistledown line, which soon resulted in the development of the stunningly successful #5-7wt option.
Technology has also moved on, with the introduction of an even finer braidedcore allowing us to apply a thicker coating, whilst still maintaining the same overall diameter, providing an even higher floating line than the original models.
Following the phenomenal success of the original Thistledown line and thenthe #5-7 model, Snowbee has been frequently asked for a lighter weight model, for small rivers and brooks. The #1-4 model, has a shorter, lighter profile thanits big brothers, providing superb, delicate presentation, with the lightest of rods from a #1 to a #4 wt.
