Product information "Rio Ambassador Series Joe Webster- Coastal Crabber Interm./Sink5/Sink7 Fly Line"
The high-quality fly lines from Rio Products are manufactured in the USA and have been setting the standard on the market for many years with innovative technologies. This is why many professional guides around the world rely on Rio's premium lines and incorporate their valuable practical experience directly into product development. This is particularly evident in specialised lines such as the Rio Ambassador Series Joe Webster - Coastal Crabber, which was developed in close cooperation with RIO Ambassador Joe Webster specifically for targeted fishing for large, crab-eating stripers on the New England coast.
The Rio Ambassador Series Joe Webster - Coastal Crabber has been consistently tuned for the realistic presentation of crab flies in the surf. The fast sinking head (Intermediate / S5/ S7) ensures that the fly remains reliably anchored to the bottom and can be stripped in naturally over the sand - exactly where large striped bass are specifically looking for green crabs. The special density gradation enables controlled guidance from sinking to active presentation.
Constructed on a low-stretch Core, the Coastal Crabber offers maximum sensitivity and direct power transmission - crucial for powerful strikes into the hard mouths of capital stripers. The coating was also chosen specifically for this technique: A slightly harder coating increases abrasion resistance when the line is regularly run over sand, shells or stones. The result is an extremely robust, sophisticated coastal line for demanding conditions.
In short: The Coastal Crabber is a special line uncompromisingly designed for coastal crab fishing with a fast sink rate, high sensitivity and increased durability - ideal for targeted fishing for large stripers in the surf zone.
