I am very pleased to be part of the Barrio Pro-team. Based in Aberdeenshire, Mike Barrio makes some of the best fly lines around. He's no slouch with rods either.

If you ever need a 3 weight rod, make sure you look at his nine footer, it's a peach. Teamed with his long-belly GT140 line this is an amazing combination.

Mike is constantly innovating and looking at new designs. His GT140 is one of the standard lines for full-line distance competitions, and his new SLX is perfect for spey casting and general river fishing.

I am honoured to have been asked to join the pro-team and look forward to inputting to future designs.
