Rio Premier LightLine WF fly line Floating
RIO's new Rio Premier LightLine WF fly line Floating is designed specifically for lovers of fine presentation and traditional action of glass, bamboo and graphite rods. The Rio line corresponds exactly to the specified line class, so the sensitive blanks are not overloaded and it allows one to keep even large amounts of line in the air in a controlled manner.
The short front taper of the Rio Premier LightLine allows fast loading of the rod even at close range, which is a great advantage especially on small streams or when casting with too less backspace. The special Slick Cast Coating allows the fly line to be shot silently and extremely easily, as the friction of the line in the rings is extremely low. Nevertheless, an accurate presentation of the fly does not have to be renounced thanks to the extended front taper by a following body taper.
A first-class choice for lovers of sensitive presentations: the Rio Premier LightLine WF fly line Floating - a real pleasure in casting and the finest presentation!
Rio Technology:
- Slick Cast:
The name says it all! With this new technology, Rio has really shaken up the fly line market. Rio itself advertises it as the smoothest coating on the market. Shootability, noise minimization and durability of the line are improved. We ourselves found the lines so smooth that we had to rein ourselves in a bit at first to avoid overshooting the metaphorical mark. So we can subscribe to Rio's claim
- MaxFloat Technology
The completely new and in addition patented coating of the Rio MaxFloat tips ensures that the area floats twice as high as normal tips without increasing the diameter. This provides maximum floatation where it is needed most.
Details:
