Snowbee XS-Plus Thistledown Fly Line
The Thistledown fly lines are unique and have become very popular within the Snowbee portfolio, with the #2-5 still our fastest-ever selling fly line after being first introduced in 2015. Since then it has brought a beaming smile to many anglers' faces as the effortless performance of this line delivers a fly with ultimate finesse and enigmatic style. Since the early days of perfecting the production of these micro thin lines.
the biggest problem has been keeping up with demand across the globe, as awareness to its unrivalled performance is shared. Technology has moved on too, replacing the original mono core with a superb new braided core – the new model we refer to as XS Thistledown². We have also extended the unique #2-5wt version to produce a stunningly successful #5-7wt option as well!
Due to the improved, finer core technology, we can now apply a thicker coating, whilst still maintaining the same diameter, providing a higher floating line than the original mono core versions. They last longer too, but still have a profile and performance befitting the name. In casting, the #2/5 and #5/7 deliver the proverbial ‘Thistledown’ delicacy and precision one would expect from such an elite and aptly named fly line. Rated From #2-5wt for the lighter line, the Thistledown2 has proven to perform on any fly rod rated between AFTM #2 and #5, regardless of its length. The larger #5-7wt performs equally well on all rod sizes from #5 -#7wt, making this a superb stillwater choice. Whilst the concept does take some believing, once you’ve tried these, you will see for yourself what all the hype has been about!


Both ends are pre-looped with welded micro-loops
