Rio Technology
- 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 endorse Rio's claim - ConnectCore Plus
The low-stretch braided core for saltwater lines gives you ultimate control over your streamer. The braid is strong and supple at the same time, and the line offers unrestricted performance even in hot conditions. The stretch is reduced by around 30% compared to other lines, so that the hook can be set immediately even at long distances.
