New England Fly

[Mikey D]

Hey guys,

 

Wasn't too sure where to put this so here we are.

 

Been using new england fly for a while but recently been told by Sorbus (who i bought it from) that they can no longer sell it due to a lack of ce number.

 

I've trawled the internet trying to get my hands on some but no luck.

 

Does anyone know where i can find some?!

 

Cheers Mike.

Yes there's a shop by me with a 45 m length, forest park and garden

No CE mark? According to the New England site Fly is CE marked.

Pretty sure mine has ce mark on it

I would check mine but had the rope 3 years and seem to be missing both ends

 

Well that's annoying followed the link and it clearly states it has a ce number

 

Will have to call and give them some grief i think. They were trying to sell me the tachyon thinking about it.

 

What sort of price you got in that shop near you mate?!

Is trying something different out of the question? The Fly was always one of my favourite ropes, but it is old now, and things have moved on a bit! Theres some good ropes out now....If you liked the fly, id suggest the nearest to it in feel at the moment is probably Yale Imori

[Mikey D]

I really like the line and from what I can determine online it's the lightest on the market.

 

Would you recommend the Imori?!

 

All the guys in the yard are still on 13mm xtc causing excess weight and drag on long branch walks.

 

Finding it confusing looking through the ropes and really stuck for choice lol

I currently switch between the imori and poison ivy, both good ropes. Poison ivy is a bit quicker, imori easier to grip.....both should be the same weight. Check my review on imori in the review section

I went back to fly a few months ago but only because I had a brand new unused hank that had been sitting for a year or two , George did not like it so gave him my imori as He really liked it.
