Product information "Rio Elite Permit Floating Camo 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 modern saltwater fly lines such as the Rio Elite Permit Floating Camo, which has been specially developed for fishing for demanding species such as permit and other strong predators and is characterised by excellent casting properties.
The Rio Elite Permit Floating Camo fly line has a sophisticated taper that makes it easy to load the rod even at short distances and supports fast follow-up casts thanks to a long back taper. The front shape of the head and the weight distribution are designed so that you can present even larger crab patterns and heavy saltwater flies precisely and gently without spooking cautious fish. The camouflage-coloured surface ensures low visibility above the water surface and at the same time a modern look that suits a wide range of applications. The line floats reliably and offers you control even in windy and changing conditions.
A key feature of this line is the extremely low-stretch DirectCore core, which creates a direct connection to the fly and offers high efficiency when setting the hook. The reduced stretch supports noticeable bite detection and ensures a reliable response even with fast strikes. The line lies flat on the water and is easy to control, which is a particular advantage when fishing for moving fish such as permit.
Rio technologies:
SlickCast
This exceptionally smooth and durable coating makes the Elite Permit one of the lowest friction fly lines on the market. The SlickCast coating allows the line to glide easily through the rod guides and reduces drag on the cast, contributing to longer reach and effortless casting.
DirectCore
The low-memory DirectCore core is extremely low-stretch and ensures direct power transmission, stable loop formation and precise control of the presentation from the first cast right into the fight.
In short: The Rio Elite Permit Floating Camo fly line is a specially developed saltwater line with excellent gliding and casting properties. It combines a well-balanced taper with SlickCast Coating and DirectCore technology and is ideal for targeted fishing with heavy patterns for demanding species with the highest requirements.
