Whether fishing for trout, bass, pike, or musky there are times when a large fly is the best option, and RIO’s Predator line series is designed specifically to cast them easily. Featuring a short, powerful front taper and plenty of weight at the front, the lines have no problem casting the biggest of flies with ease. Whether floating or sink tip, each line is built on RIO’s low stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum performance, and features SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
There are 4 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:
- F - a Full Floating Line, for top water action
- F / H / I - A Floating Line with 10ft of "Hover" Sinking line, then 10ft of Intermediate Sinking line at the front, for fishing in the top 2-3ft.
- F / I / S3 - A Floating LIne with 10ft of Intermediate Sinking line, then 10ft of Medium-Sinking at the front, for fishing mid-water.
- F / S5 / S7 - A Floating Line with 10ft of Fast-Sinking Line, then 10ft of Extra-Fast Sinking line at the front, for getting down deep and fast.

Product development like that won't happen all by itself – that level of commitment is going to require thousands more hours on the water – but somebody's got to do it, and that somebody is RIO. No matter what line family, price level or quality RIO fly line you choose, you can fish happy in the knowledge that every single fly line is made in our Idaho Falls facility – close to the banks of our premium testing grounds, the Henry’s Fork and the South Fork of the Snake in Idaho. Fly line manufacturing is a complicated business requiring incredibly sophisticated machinery.
RIO spends thousands of hours on the water researching, designing & refining products.
