Product information "ELITE Flats Pro Floating Fly Line (Aqua/Orange/Sand)"

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.

      Ambassador Blitz Fly Line

      Ambassador Blitz Fly Line

      DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador

      Bonefish Fly Line

      Bonefish Fly Line

      The demands of bonefishing require a balance of long and short casts with precise presentation. RIO’s Bonefish line does just that, starting with a medium-length front taper to improve turnover without sacrificing presentation, and a slightly longer back taper to smooth out the casting loop. The tropical AgentX coating combined with a Powerflex single-strand monofilament core and the new Extreme Slickness (XS) Technology results in longer casts and a line that will not wilt in most extreme tropical conditions. Includes a welded loop at both ends for easy rigging    RIO-Technologies  AgentXTraditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most durable and highest floating fly lines imaginable. XS (Extreme Slickness)The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a ge­neration of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance.  Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
