Greys Platinum Plus Float Fly Line
Greys Platinum Plus Float is a floating WF fly line for anglers who want to build line speed efficiently and reach useful distance without adding unnecessary false casts. Its short format places a full-size heavy head ahead of a low-diameter running line, helping to accelerate and release the line. This arrangement is relevant on open water, but is particularly useful where trees, a high bank or bankside growth restrict the available back-cast space.
Profile and fishing use
The profile concentrates mass within a short head, allowing the rod to load without carrying a large amount of line in the air. This helps the caster form an energetic loop, turn the line over and move into the shoot after fewer false casts. The low-diameter running section supports continued travel once the line is released. This is neither a separate shooting head nor a sink-tip model: the complete construction remains a floating WF fly line. The family covers weights 3 to 8, and every variant has an overall length of 90 ft.
- Floating WF profile with a short, heavy head and low-diameter running line.
- Weights 3 to 8 and an overall length of 90 ft.
- Dual-colour line marking the intended shooting point.
- Slick, supple coating and a slim welded front loop; designed in the United Kingdom.
The colour change is more than a visual detail: it identifies the intended shooting point and provides a clear reference for releasing the running line. This makes it easier to repeat a consistent casting rhythm without guessing how much of the head should be outside the tip ring. The slick, supple coating encourages clean passage through the rings while retaining a controlled, comfortable feel in the hand. At the front, the slim welded loop provides a neat, low-profile connection point for attaching a leader.
The character of this family suits anglers casting from a bank, platform or restricted casting corridor, where carrying a long length of line in the air can be awkward. On larger water, the combination of a short head and slim running section helps make practical use of the available space when seeking distance. As the line floats throughout, it remains suited to methods that require surface line control, visible line position and adjustment of the line across current. The design was developed in the United Kingdom.
