is this the same stuff as the airflo "Ridged" intermediate which is blue? if so I have 3 spools of it in 9 weight and me like 2 other guys who fish out of the den all have had problems with it not tangling but sticking together by the sides when casting??? we think its the ridges holding together somewhow in the basket but it doesnt happenm with SA and Rio (they do tangle if i don't stretch them first)

I can bring one of these reels and demonstrate whats its doing at the sunken jettie in Plymouth, tonight around 8pm until 10 if someone can show me how to correct it..

I really liked airflow until I used this ridged intermediate line, but if what your describing is a non-ridged line I'm very interested in trying it as I have no beef with the quality of the company itself,.

edited--> I fished last night 5/16 and this thread made me want to try this line again, and now I wonder...... okay after every time out fishing in the salts I wash everything including my lines which I pull out off the spool up to the backing and clean and rinse off every line,,, keeping this in Mind when i took the ridged line last night the first 21 complete casts all fed out great through the eyes,, the 23rd cast I started getting that side sticking thing again, not a tangle but picture 2' of line laying sideways agains the running line coming up the reel and where the end of the 2' of line where it forms a loop then hangs back down into the stripping basket,,, this is whats happening?? I was using surf candies and 2/0 decievers..

do you guys think the line is twisting on me, next time this happens I will remove the fly and cast the whole line and pinch it tight while reeling it in to un-twist the line and see if it works,,, could be a flaw in my casting,,, who knows I'm self taught and I have the bad habit of havign too much line out when I do my last haul.
