The taper for every Ballistic Flyline is built for perfection in flight.

the origin story
Ballistic fly lines was founded and developed by Lee Davison. Upon completion of his Fly Fishers International Certifications, (Master Casting Instructor and Two Hand Master Casting Instructor), and after a terminal infection of Steelhead fever, Lee determined there was a definite need for a better Speyline, and Ballistic Flylines was born.
Lee is the designer of Ballistic Flylines and an international Spey casting competitor (Spey-O-Rama GGAC, San Francisco Senior Champion 2015 & 2017). Lee also holds Fly Fishers International (FFI) Master and Two Hand Master Casting Instructor certifications, and worked as a licensed Idaho Fishing Guide with over 28 years of experience on the North and South Forks of the Snake River. Lee holds a degree in Business Management from the University of Texas and has extensive experience as a Project Manager for the Idaho National Laboratory and several large U.S. engineering/construction firms.
Now Lee has teamed up with the crew who started The Fly Project to continue the legacy of best in class fly line tapers. With those two forces combined the game plan is to build the best tapers so we can all present the best possible cast to a fish.
The most significant aspect of the Vector design is its smooth, powerful, and consistent layout performance, even during long casts. The Hi-Viz Vector’s reliable performance makes it the ‘go to’ line for the Fly Fishers International Two-Hand Certification test.
