For discerning anglers and technical fishing, these unique weight forward and double tapers are designed for trout fishing, especially dry fly fishing. Both the weight forward and double taper lines have long front tapers for delicate presentations and an extended rear taper for effortless roll casting. The Selective Trout line is good on bamboo and all medium action trout rods. RIO has slightly increased the weight behind the front taper of the double taper for easy turnover of long leaders. The Selective Trout line is ultra supple and memory-free in winter. The AgentX coating makes these high floating lines incredibly easy to lift quietly off the water. The Super Floatation Tips have a welded loop except on the Double Taper lines and the WF1F and WF2F lines where delicacy is of the utmost importance. 

The RIO Grand, made with state-of-the-art fly line technology, is an all-around line with distinctive benefits for the trout fly fisher. The weight forward taper is one half size heavier to load fast action fly rods. The unique taper design features a long rear taper that roll casts easily and a front taper that will delicately present even the smallest dry fly. AgentX Technology gives the RIO Grand maximum floatation. The line remains supple in coldwater conditions and is ultra smooth for maximum casting distance. The Super Floatation Tip has a welded loop for changing leaders. Tests prove that when you land a fish, the loop slides through the rod guides more easily than the customary nail knot.

A must-have line for the serious lake angler. Castability has always been a problem with clear intermediate sinking lines because there are no lubricants in the coating and the lines drag through the guides. RIO has solved the problem by incorporating proprietary lubricants into the running line coating that make the line slick. The running line is translucent green while the head is completely clear. With an intermediate sinking rate of 1.5 – 2.0 inches per second (3.7 cm/s), the line is perfect for fishing subsurface and shallow shore lines. Ideal when stealth is required for wary, selective fish. Made on a low memory supple monofilament core with a coldwater coating and welded loop on the front end.

A series of sinking lines that feature an increase in density at the front to ensure the line sinks tip first - aiding in bite detection and in setting the hook. These lines are made on a supple core for memory free performance and have a super smooth, tungsten impregnated coating that makes distance casting easy.  An essential line for the serious lake fly fisher. The WF4S and WF5S, Type 6 lines are made on a Powerflex core.

Coldwater Clouser™ Fly Line  Casting heavy or wind-resistant flies has always been a challenge, even for good casters. Jim Vincent and Simon Gawesworth collaborated with Bob Clouser in developing the Clouser line. Bob is the famed fly tier, guide, instructor and conservationist best known for inventing the Clouser Minnow, one of the most versatile flies for both fresh and saltwater. The Clouser line, with its unique reverse compound taper and a bullet front taper, turns over heavy flies into the wind without effort and smoothly transfers energy to prevent the characteristic “kick” with heavily weighted flies. The Clouser line includes the RIO proprietary welded loop on the tip for quick leader changes.

Steelhead & Atlantic Salmon Fly Line Tapered weight forward floating design made for the specific casting demands of steelhead and Atlantic salmon fly fishing-also a fantastic nymphing line with a strike indicator. The long belly and back taper were developed for roll or overhead casting and single-handed spey casting. A bullet front taper helps deliver bombers and other large flies. This line works well with a greaseline or waking fly technique. RIO's state-of-the-art computer-driven fly line technology allows us to taper the rear belly with slightly more diameter. This creates weight in order to load the rod butt for casting performance and durability in this critical area. Coldwater coating on a multifilament core.

Evolved from the WindCutter fly line design, the VersiTip has the RIO non-hinging welded loop design and five interchangeable tips. The smooth, slim welded loops will not foul the guides. Unlike other sink tips, this line is designed witha thick belly to turn over dense sinking tips. Attach either the Clouser taper floating tip or one of the four sinking tips directly to the body.

Superb all-around line for the anadromous fly fisher. Set up one reel with this line and be ready to adapt to most fishing conditions instead of purchasing four different reels and four different lines!

The Tropical VersiTip is a superb choice for the traveling fly fisher who is not targeting any specific species and wants to carry a limited amount of gear.

The WindCutter has a short easy loading head between 45 ft – 56 ft. It is the best choice of line not only for those learning to spey cast but also for anglers that like to shoot line for distance. The WindCutter is available as a full floating line or with interchangeable tips and is yellow with a green “loading point” that shows the angler where the rod has its optimum load. The Interchangeable Tip line features RIO’s thin, non-hinging welded loops and includes a body section, a floating and an intermediate Tip 2 compensator, a 15 ft (4.6m) floating, a clear intermediate (1.5 ips, 4 cm/s), a DC Type 3 (3ips, 8 cm/s), a DC Type 6 (6 ips, 15 cm/s) and a DC Type 8 (8 ips, 20 cm/s) sinking tip. The WWF 5/6 does not include Tip 2 or a Type 8 tip. The NEW 4/5 is only available as a floating line.

The MidSpey has a medium length head between 59 ft – 65 ft. Designed for the spey caster who has mastered the basic techniques and needs a longer line that will mend more effectively, yet is short enough to load a spey rod easily. The MidSpey is available as a full floating line or with interchangeable tips and is green with a yellow “loading point”. The Interchangeable Tip line features RIO’s thin, non-hinging welded loops and includes a body section, a floating and an intermediate Tip 2 compensator, a 15 ft (4.6m) floating, a clear intermediate (1.5 ips, 4 cm/s), a DC Type 3 (3ips, 8 cm/s), a DC Type 6 (6 ips, 15 cm/s) and a DC Type 8 (8 ips, 20 cm/s) sinking tip.

The all-purpose saltwater line for bonefish, striped bass or snook and redfish. Based on the Clouser taper with a quick loading head that will turn over big flies in any wind. This line is made on a braided multifilament core for suppleness with a hard tropical saltwater coating. Ideal for fishing in cooler conditions. This line has welded loops on both ends for easy rigging.

The Saltwater CamoTip is the perfect line for early spring and fall permit, tarpon or redfish. Based on the Clouser taper, the quick-loading head and bullet taper will turn over big nasty flies in the wind with ease. The 20 ft dark camo tip will reduce line flash in the air. For wary permit or redfish in shallow water, RIO developed and tested the new Key Lime/Dark Camo line on permit, on bright days and in shallow water, and found that the Key Lime/Dark Camo line makes a difference whether the angler catches fish or not. The AgentX tropical coating on a supple multifilament core will not wilt in warm weather, yet has low memory in cool weather. Includes welded loops on both ends.

Based on the same taper as the Coldwater Clouser fly line for turning over heavy, bulky flies into the wind without effort. In addition, for longer casts, the Tropical Saltwater line has the Powerflex monofilament core with a hard, super smooth, super floating AgentX coating that will not wilt even in extreme tropical heat. Includes welded loops on both ends.

The Saltwater Tropical F/I line is built on a medium stiff Powerfles core that is extremeley easy to anneal (stretch). The line features a flaoting tropical coating with a 9.5 ft clear intermediate tip for deeper flats, or on windy days. Wonderful to cast into a fifteen-knot breeze. Sounds unbelievable, but this line will turn over a 12 ft - 15 ft leader in a strong wind. A 9 ft leader attached to the clear AquaLux tip gives you an effective 18 foot leader, which is stealthy enough for any wary fish. Your guide can still follow the fly at this length, while a totally clear line is really tough to track.

The Saltwater I/I line is a full intermediate (1.5 ips .7 cm/s) line with a green tint and a 9.5 ft clear tip. It is a great line for laid-up fish that are a little deeper in the water column or for keeping in touch with the fly in choppy water. Based on the Clouser taper and built on RIO's Powerflex core with a tropical coating, it is the perfect full intermediate line for fishing in warmer climes. Welded loops on both ends.

The perfect line for Tarpon and other tropical species. This line features a long back taper for smooth, controlled casts and is slightly heavier than the AFTMA standard to load rods for quick accurate casts. The floating line features a tropical AgentX coating combined with the popular Powerflex core that will not wilt in the heat. The F/I line has a 9.5 ft clear intermediate tip for wary poons or on windy days. Both lines have welded loops at both ends for easy rigging. 

The floating Tarpon CamoTip line has a 20 ft dark camo tip that reduces line flash and won’t spook wary poons. It’s the choice of experienced Florida captains where stealth is required for laid up tarpon in the back country or on flat calm summer days. With a hard tropical AgentX coating and stiff Powerflex core, this line will not snag, tangle or knot in the guides or wilt in extreme heat. The taper is designed to cast big flies long distances with great accuracy and positive turnover. A welded loop is included on both ends for fast rigging. This line is not for wimps.

The demands of bonefishing require a balance of long and short casts with precise presentation. RIO’s Bonefish fly 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 results in longer casts and a line that will not wilt in most extreme tropical conditions. With AgentX, the line floats higher than competitors’ lines, is easier to pick up off the water, and unlike competing products the running line will not sink and tangle while wading. Includes a welded loop at both ends for easy rigging.

A super-fast sinking fly line with a smooth tropical coating on a Powerflex core, with an intermediate sink running line and a DC 26 ft fast sinking head. Called the self-casting line, it was designed by Trey Combs and Jim Vincent to get down for sailfish and marlin as well as inshore species in tropical conditions. Includes welded loops on both ends. 

RIO’s Leviathan line is built for big fish. All lines in this series are built on a very strong Powerflex core (60lb to 75lb) to tackle the behemoths you might encounter. The heavy head of each line is designed to load powerful bluewater rods (#12 to #16)  quickly while the aggressive front taper casts ultra large flies with ease.
