Elite Salmon/Steelhead Fly Line

Product information "Elite Salmon/Steelhead Fly Line"

SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE DEMANDS OF THE STEELHEAD AND SALMON FLY FISHER.

RIO's Elite Salmon/Steelhead line has been specifically designed to meet the demands of the modern single-hand steelhead and salmon fly angler. The long head and rear taper allow anglers to mend and control the fly at great distance when fishing the swing. A powerful bullet front taper ensures the line easily handles large steelhead and salmon flies, while the rear weight distribution makes this a great line for single handed roll and spey casting. The line is built with ConnectCore Plus and SlickCast Technology for low-stretch, ultra-slick performance.

Features:

  • Bullet front taper to easily cast larger steelhead & salmon flies
  • Long head and rear taper for mending control at distance.
  • Low-stretch ConnectCore Plus for faster hook sets
  • Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating

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

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.
