Kevlar® NoKnot® River Dry Floating Fly Line
Smaller rivers, small lakes, rods up to 9'6" and small / medium sized flies. This taper was orginally designed by Stuart Crofts, an England fly fishing team member and renowned angler in the UK.
I've used many so called dedicated dry fly lines and they don't come close to the accuracy and downright speed of these loops

Dave G.
"Seems so obvious now"
The fact it's one continuous Kevlar fly line and backing is just genius.
Warren C.
"Panic over"
I've got a 100% strong smooth connection so when a fish runs I just let it.
Joshua A.
"NoKnot has changed it for me"
I used to worry about the knot jamming in the rod guides. No more.
Henry L.
"No more expensive backing"
Basically it's like getting free gel spun backing, but better.
Don't take our word for it. Ask Dupont USA.
5 times stronger than steel.
Kevlar is used in the most demanding environments in the World. It has zero stretch which means that your casting gets a hit of steroids, the hook sets are instant and pound for pound your fly line is now 5 times stronger than steel. Because our core does not stretch during casting or fishing, our coatings don't crack.
It's not just our core that is bullet proof
Reinforced welded loop
Featuring a Kevlar core, our welded loops are already the strongest on the market. That wasn't enough for us, we went one step further and wrapped our welds in a micro thin film of protective tubing. Supple, strong and slim.
Cores of steel & coatings of glass.
We're not just a pretty face.
Our fly lines contain microscopic particles of 3M glass air microspheres. Every colour is chosen not just for it's optical qualities but also it's flight characteristics. Our R&D into pigment science informs our coating formulas in a way that has set us apart from the industry for the last 15 years.
NASA® approved.
Interesting Fact : When the Mars Pathfinder landed on the surface of Mars, ropes made of Kevlar® helped it to complete its 40-million-mile journey.
Will the Kevlar® NoKnot® River Dry Floating Fly Line work on my rod?
A Kevlar fly line will enhance any rod by any brand. Whether it's carbon, fibreglass, fast or slow, it will make your rod feel like it's on steroids.
What weight Kevlar® NoKnot® River Dry Floating Fly Line should I get?
Match the line rating to the rod rating. A Kevlar fly line weighs the same as a regular line. It just flies faster and further.
Is there a special backing to spool Knot I need?
Just use a regular arbour knot, the same knot you would use for tying regular backing to your fly reel.
Will the Kevlar backing get wet or rot?
Kevlar® is very good at repelling water and drying. It is the strongest cord material per diameter in the World. It will not rot.
What if I already have backing on my reel?
Regular backing will not be as strong as Kevlar®. We recommend you unwind your regular backing and load with NoKnot, the strongest backing and a seamless connection to your fly line.

So what is Kevlar® exactly?
I use this line for nymphs aswell as dries, it's better than any of my Rio or Cortlands

How do I know you are a good company?
We're not new to this. We formed in 2014 and we are the biggest direct to consumer fly fishing brand in the UK. We ship Worldwide and we get it there quickly.
I needed the fly line for a competition. I ordered on Friday and it was on my door matt Saturday morning, amazing.
I had confidence in the fact the core was made by Dupont and the coating 3M. I wasn't dissapointed. Wow!
I couldn't believe how quick it was delieverd. It felt like I had just placed the order and it was there! All the way from the UK in a matter of days.
Despite Brexit I took a chance ordering from this UK company. Yes, I had to pay taxes but it's the best fly line I have ever bought and it was cheaper than the American brands.
