A series of sinking tip lines specifically built for anglers that like a balanced casting rig. A unique, fatter body section eliminates the “kick” usually associated with casting sink tip lines; while the longer front tapers ensure the line does not dump on the forward cast. The supple floating body section allows anglers to easily mend and control the way the fly fishes, making it ideal for river anglers. Each line has a welded loop on the front end for easy rigging.
The lines are sold in "grain" weights, and we recommend the follwing conversion to appropiate rod sizes:
150 grains -> 5wt
200 grains -> 6wt
250 grains -> 7wt
300 grains -> 8wt
350 grains -> 9wt
400 grains -> 10wt
Length: 30,5 Meter
Colors:
150 grains = blue / black tip
200 grains = yellow / black tip
250 grains = hot orange / black tip
300 grains = white / black tip
400 grains = teal / black tip
Technologys
Density Compensated
RIO's Density Compensation adds a more dense material to the thin tip, which ensures the line sinking straight.
Welded Loops
RIO 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.

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.
