Tippet Rings (Pitzenbauer Ringerl)
These small, extremely strong rings were made public by the famous fly fisherman Edgar Pitzenbauer and used in the grayling fishing. Meanwhile, these rings have spread all over the world among fly fishermen.
They are tied to the end of your leader (conical, braided or linear) and allow you again and again to re-tie your leader at the end, without shortening the length of the leader. The individual rings are rounded inside and out and are therefore very smooth. These rings have no solder joint. Thus, a "break point" was prevented and the surface remains very smooth. The rings are extremely light and durable. Also suitable for floating leaders.
Especially modern Nymph fishermen use these rings in an enormously wide range of applications. By using it, you will ultimately save money, as your leaders will only have to shorten their fly changes in the front leader material. In addition, the field of application is very diverse. You can use these rings to tie in Springer flies or pike felts, or even use them when drop shot fishing.
Recommendation: we strongly advise you to use the rings when using Fluorocarbon leaders / leader material in combination with regular nylon, as this material is apt to cut through the surface hardness of other types of nylon. With a leader ring that does not happen anymore.
Even with the use of polyleaders / Versileaders the use of the leader rings is recommended because it no longer shortens the polyleader and the life can be increased enormously.

Super Backing 45 lbs (yellow)
A few years ago we asked ourselves how we could make a good backing even better. After analysing the most important requirements for a backing we discovered that these were an even greater tensile strength - at a lower volume, a longer life, UV stability and very strong knot strength.
We tested various materials and the breakthrough came when we combined a new braiding technique with a high performance thread. The result is the best backing that we know of. The main advantage is that even though it has a very small diameter, it has the quality to flatten out on the reel. This means no more cutting through itself! The tensile strength is 40 % higher, the diameter 35 % less than conventional backing and the fluorescent colour is easily visible.
The tensile strength is 45 lbs (approx. 21 kg)! This may appear exorbitant to some Trout anglers but, even in this situation, our Super Backing does have the advantage of the fish feeling less water pressure on the line, during long runs and drills. When fly fishing for larger fish this advantage becomes even more apparent.

Premier Gold (moss/gold - floating) Fly Line
THE ULTIMATE, ALL-AROUND floating line for trout with ultra-slick performance.
The RIO GOLD has a revolutionary taper design that gives incredible loop stability at distance, a unique profile that allows a rod to load at close range and a front taper that delivers perfect presentation of flies between sizes #22 and #2. The RIO Gold is the ultimate all round, floating line for the trout fly fisher and is built with "MaxFloat Tip" technology, RIO's proprietary tip coating formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter.
In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

Pro Strike Indicator
Where else could the idea to use impregnated wool for a strike indicator come from, other than New Zealand? Our set included tool, rubber tubing and impregnated indicator yarn (DWR Indicator).
It's simple to use:
1: Form a loop in your leader using the tool2: Slide this tubing, which you slid onto the tool before starting, over the end of the loop 3: The loop is now ready4: Insert the required length of indicator yarn into the loop5: Push the tubing over the indicator yarn.
The strike indicator is ready to use and can be positioned on your leader as needed, by simply sliding it into position. The indicator can be removed from your leader in the reverse order, without the tool, and used again.

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.
