Rio Premier Technical Trout DT Fly Line
The Rio Premier Technical Trout DT is a modern double taper fly line that combines most current Rio technologies for a truly impressive casting performance. It has the slickest, most durable coating on the market due to the innovative SlickCast Technology. Therefore, it has an extremely low friction when shooting through the rod guides, which creates phenomenal casting properties that will last for a very long time due to its impressive durability.
Similar to fiberglass rods, double taper lines regained popularity in recent years – for a reason, because this classic type of fly line has a lot to offer. While WF lines can only be placed gently on the water at certain head lengths, DT lines are known for very harmonious loops and impressive precision at all distances. Further, the Premier Technical Trout DT has a long front taper that enables very delicate and precise presentations – whether you’re fishing with dry flies, nymphs or wet flies. Thanks to its double taper design, it also allows controlled false casts at distances beyond the head length of a WF line for a perfect placement of the fly. And due to the increasing weight distribution towards the centre of the line, it is great for all kinds of roll and Spey casts. And thanks to powerful casting properties, this line will easily transport very long leaders, which is perfect for targeting challenging fish. Last but not least, the extremely high floating tip with MaxFloat Technology allows silent lifting without spray.
