DEVELOP
Each Ballistic Flyline series undergoes rigorous proto-typing for fly fishing and casting applications.
TEST
Proto-types are sent to Ballistic Flylines Pro Team members worldwide. Our Pro Team members are expert casters and rigorously test the lines for function and refinement prior to final production.
Testimonials
What our customers are saying about Ballistic Fly Lines!
"We guide at least 80 days every summer and all of our loaner rods are using the Pro Performance Ballistic Lines. It casts great, is easy to see, and no - it doesn’t spook fish any more than any other line! If you want to roll cast farther, and throw all kinds of flies and nymph rigs, this is the line for you.
As guides, we need a line that does lots of things well. We throw big nymph rigs, tiny dry flies to spooky fish, and even use streamers. A 60’ cast is an easy cast with the Ballistic Pro Performance. As a fly fisher on my own, the Ballistic line is what I use. We love this line. After fishing with it, lots of our clients have purchased one!"

"Hi Lee, Just put the Pro Performance # 7 through baby Tarpon and Snook trials, 95 degree heat. Performed absolutely amazing. Jumped 3 Tarpon, landed another 4. Lost count of the Snook! Happy Days."
- Leslie Holmes, FFI MCI/THCI, APGAI, G.Loomis Pro Staff
"If you are looking for a multi tip mid belly fishing line for all conditions with positive turnover, look no further than the Ballistic Launcher. Just add your favorite sink, floating or multi density tip to fish all water conditions. The Ballistic Launcher redefines versatility.....the SUV of Multi tip Spey Lines."
- Todd Somsel, FFI CBOG/MCI/THCI
“It is the best Spey line I have ever cast. For me it threw the tightest loops I have ever cast, farther than I have ever cast with a fishable line. It turns over like a cobra strikes. It will, I am positive, turn over a real fly in every weather condition. My Two-Hand class was at 4 PM yesterday in Albany, OR, and the wind, sleet/hail was at times horizontal. The Ballistic Vector line threw darts across and with the wind, and with no wind when the conditions briefly calmed. The highest blowing wind could not defeat its D-loops.“
