The only name you need to know in flylines is Airflo...hands down the best casting,slickest shooting,highest floating/easiest mending,most sensitive core,longest lasting/most durable flylines made.Everything else is an Airflo wannabe IMHO.
That said,Barrio is interesting in that it’s manufactured for them by Airflo,and Barrio offers an intriguing “small stream/short head” taper that I’d like to try.Cant say as I’ve yet to try Barrio,but if it in fact employs Airflo’s core and coating technologies without the overhead,fancy packaging/mega advertising and R&D budgets,it may well be a good bang for your buck?
Again though,that is presuming that Barrio is essentially a rebranded Airflo line utilizing Airflo’s tech and mfr expertise,marketed under another name without all they hype and overhead at a bargain price....that is a lot of presumptions? 🤔
