Product information "Rio Avid All-Around Saltwater Floating 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 saltwater lines such as the Rio Avid Tarpon Floating, which was developed for targeted fishing for tarpon and other large tropical species and impresses with its excellent control and stable presentations.
The Rio Avid All-Around fly line has a medium-length head with a short powerful front taper that is specially designed to cast typical tropical flies efficiently and present them cleanly. The high density ensures that the line stays reliably on the surface, so that the presentation is given on the surface or just below it. The balanced design allows the rod to be loaded quickly and controlled precisely even in strong winds and demanding conditions. This is an important factor when fishing in the tropics, as you often don't have much time to cast to fast-moving fish.
A medium-stiff core ensures constant power transmission from the cast to the fight and remains stable even at high temperatures without becoming soft. The line is complemented by a smooth surface that reduces friction in the rod guides and enables high shooting performance and comfortable casting over a wide range of distances.
Rio technologies:
- Slick Cast
The name says it all! Rio has really shaken up the fly line market with this new technology. Rio itself advertises it as the smoothest coating on the market. It improves the shooting ability, noise minimisation and durability of the line. We ourselves found the lines so smooth that we had to restrain ourselves a little at first so as not to overshoot the metaphorical target. So we can subscribe to Rio's claim
