Rio Avid Tarpon Floating Fly Line
Product information "Rio Avid Tarpon 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 Tarpon Floating fly line has a medium-length head with a short powerful front taper that is specially designed to cast typical tarpon flies efficiently and present them cleanly. The high density ensures that the line runs reliably on the surface and is perfect for sight-casting on tarpon in mangroves, lagoons or open coast where you want to place large patterns safely. The balanced design allows the rod to be loaded quickly and controlled precisely even in strong winds and demanding conditions.
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:
Smooth surface
The line surface is designed so that it glides particularly easily through the rod guides and supports power transmission from the cast to the fight.
In short: The Rio Avid Tarpon Floating fly line is a specially developed line for fishing for tarpon and similar large tropical species. It combines a sophisticated head construction with high density and a smooth surface to create a versatile system that gives you control and reach for demanding saltwater fishing.
