Rio Elite Single Hand Spey 3D Fly Line F/H/I
Product information "Rio Elite Single Hand Spey 3D Fly Line F/H/I"
The new Rio Elite Single-Handed Spey is the new edition of one of the most popular spey lines for single-handed rods. Thanks to its special taper, it is the perfect line for long roll and switch casts with little backspace. Especially for salmon, steelhead and sea trout fishing in the river, but also for our native trout in medium to large waters, the single-handed spey is an absolute dream. It is not without reason that Rio promptly won various prizes years ago with the first edition of this popular hybrid line.
The secret of the great roll-casting properties is hidden in the line profile. A large part of the weight is shifted to the back of the Head Weight, which means that your rod loads up on the cast with small D-loops and minimal backspace. The long front taper also ensures that the line stretches beautifully when casting, even with long leaders. In addition, the line can be lifted and deposited incredibly effortlessly and silently. This is a huge advantage when fishing in clear waters, low water or generally in tricky conditions. This is due not least to the patented SlickCast technology, which gives the coating an unrivalled smoothness and suppleness.
Although the line was primarily developed for switch and roll casts, long overhead casts with a very clean loop pattern are also excellent. The line is therefore particularly suitable for medium to large waters, where you can utilise the entire 10.4 m Head Length. The club is followed by a grippy handling area that allows you to adjust the shooting point of the line variably for both overhead and roll casts. The thin running line with SlickCast then ensures considerable distances when "shooting".
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 endorse Rio's claim.
- ConnectCore Plus
The low-stretch braided core gives you ultimate control over your fly. The braid is strong and supple at the same time, even in icy conditions the line remains absolutely curl-free. The stretch is reduced by around 30% compared to other lines, so that even at long distances every little pluck reaches the end of your leader. On the water, this means better bite detection and yield, and even more controlled lure control.
- Multi Density Control (3D)
Different sink rates are combined within the line profile to create a gradual transition between the different densities. This results in better casting properties on the one hand, but also in a much more homogeneous sinking behaviour and therefore much more control when guiding the lure. A straight line is created between your rod and the fly so that you can recognise and utilise bites directly, even in deep water.
