Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate Fly Line
Product information "Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate 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 worldwide rely on Rio's premium lines and incorporate their valuable practical experience directly into product development. This is particularly evident in absolute classics such as the Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate, which has been a legendary line for years and is appreciated by fly fishermen worldwide.
The Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate fly line has been developed for maximum casting distance and efficiency. The extremely short and heavy head loads the rod at lightning speed and enables very long casts with minimum effort. The intermediate sink rate ensures that the line runs just below the surface, making it ideal for windy conditions, waves and fishing over shallow water. This line demonstrates its enormous strength particularly with fast presentations at distance and also reliably brings larger saltwater flies to the target.
A key feature of this line is the powerful short head construction, which provides immediate feedback even with stiff tropical rods. This makes the line extremely easy to cast and very forgiving, which makes it attractive for both experienced long distance casting specialists and ambitious beginners. The low-stretch DirectCore core ensures direct power transmission, fast strip sets and full control even with hard bites and fast fish. The combination of aggressive taper and controlled sinking behaviour makes this line a real reference in the saltwater sector.
Rio technologies:
SlickCast
The exceptionally smooth and extremely durable coating ensures minimum friction in the rod rings and maximum shooting pleasure. This makes long casts possible with less effort, even under difficult conditions.
DirectCore
The low-stretch core provides a direct connection to the fly and enables fast, powerful strip sets as well as excellent bite detection even at long distances.
In short: The Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate is a legendary saltwater fly line designed for uncompromising casting distance. It combines an extremely short powerful head with SlickCast coating and DirectCore technology and is the first choice for anglers who need maximum reach and control in tropical conditions.
