Product information "ELITE Flats Pro Gray/Sand/Kelp"

Conquer the flats with RIO’s Flats Pro tropical saltwater line. This line has a mid length head and long back taper for smooth, effortless loops, and a weight distribution that provide perfect presentations of just about any fly you are likely to use. Each line is built on RIO’s low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to anneal (stretch) and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. In addition the line is built with SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.

The very best all-around flats line, and perfect for multiple destinations, species and water types

  • Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating
  • Low stretch “DirectCore” for hard, solid strip sets
  • Designed to easily cast flies from size 2/0 to 8
  • Mid length head & long back taper for complete line control
  • SureFire tricolored measuring system for increased accuracy and distance control

There are different density options available that ensures any angler fishing the flats is covered for all conditions and species. The options available are:

  • F – A full floating line
  • F/I StealthTip – A full floating line with a 6ft clear intermediate tip - essentially a floating line with a really short, clear tip for the ultimate in stealth.


The core strength of this line is as follows:

  • WF6 - WF7 = 30lb (13.6kg)
  • WF8 - WF9 = 45lb (20.4kg)
  • WF10 - WF12 = 60lb (27.2kg)

Technologies:

DirectCore

DirectCore is RIO’s low-stretch core used in tropical lines. DirectCore stretches 30% less than other tropical cores, is exceptionally easy to pull coils out of, and lies exceptionally straight on the water.

SlickCast

SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.
