Rio Elite Salmon & Steelhead Floating Fly Line
Product information "Rio Elite Salmon & Steelhead 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 lines such as the Rio Elite Salmon & Steelhead Floating, which has been specially developed for the requirements of modern single-handed salmon and steelhead fishing and is characterised by excellent casting properties and precise control.
The Rio Elite Salmon & Steelhead Floating fly line has a long head and a back taper that enables efficient rod loading and stable loops even at long distances. The powerful bullet front taper ensures that you can also cast larger salmonid patterns and heavy streamers in a clean and controlled manner without sacrificing control. The floating density of the line allows it to run reliably on the surface, making it ideal for classic river and swing techniques for salmon and steelhead. A balanced weight distribution also improves roll and spey casting when you are challenged in narrow river sections or when overhead casting.
A key feature of this line is the ultra low-stretch ConnectCore Plus core, which ensures maximum efficiency when loading the rod and playing fish. The reduced stretch ensures direct power transmission and precise bite detection even under high loads when drilling large fish. This is complemented by the SlickCast coating which is considered a very smooth and durable coating material and allows the line to glide easily through the rod guides, giving you more reach and less drag.
Rio technologies:
SlickCast
The exceptionally smooth and durable coating minimises friction in the rod rings and supports a comfortable casting performance with a long reach.
ConnectCore Plus
The low-stretch core provides direct control over the fly and excellent bite detection, allowing you to react precisely even at distance.
In short, the Rio Elite Salmon & Steelhead Floating Fly Line is an advanced single-handed line for river anglers targeting salmon and steelhead. It combines a powerful construction with SlickCast Coating and ConnectCore Plus technology and is ideal for long casts, controlled presentations and demanding fishing in changing conditions.
