Up at Hardy's Alnwick factory everybody envies Andy Murray his jet-set lifestyle, but fishing every major river in both hemispheres does mean that he knows his stuff.

"You ask me why we need another fly line. Time doesn't stand still. We are always seeing gaps, realising there are fishing situations that just aren't fully catered for. The Swift lines have excellent properties. Gentle tapers. A high float position on the water's surface. Revolutionary core materials. A very durable outer coating. A matt green body and fluorescent green running line. And these are all for important purposes.

"You're on a crystal clear river. You'll need the ultra-delicate turnover that the new tapers give you. You'll appreciate the Swift's colour that makes it a true stealth line. The high float position gives you great control so it's just superb for mending.

"But let's say you're on a big reservoir or Irish lough. The Swift's tough shell will protect the line on rocks or in boats. The new core makes for the lowest line memory yet achieved, perfect for day long, figure of eight retrieving. The high float properties make for a perfect lift off and so you're assured of easy, long casting. And where the body and running line meet you have the perfect pick-up point to push out any length of line."

Running water or still, close-in or far out, the Swift is a line we've long needed.
