Product information "Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate Sink 5 Sink 7 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 modern saltwater lines such as the Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate Sink 5 Sink 7, which has established itself as an extremely versatile and high-performance line for tropical conditions and offers both distance and depth control at a high level.
The Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate Sink 5 Sink 7 fly line combines a short powerful head with Multi Density Control allowing the fly to be presented efficiently just below the surface as well as in mid to deeper water. The intermediate main sink rate in combination with Sink 5 and Sink 7 sections allows you to fish different depth zones, which is particularly advantageous when fishing for deeper saltwater species or in stronger currents. The aggressive front taper loads the rod very quickly and makes it possible to bring large and weighted saltwater flies to long distances with ease.
A key feature of this line is the low-stretch DirectCore core, which ensures maximum efficiency when loading the rod and during the fight. The reduced stretch ensures direct power transmission, secure strip sets and precise control even under high loads. The system is complemented by the SlickCast coating, which ensures a particularly smooth surface, allowing the line to glide easily through the rod guides and achieving a high level of shooting performance. The result is a line that optimally combines power, control and reliability.
Rio technologies:
SlickCast
The exceptionally smooth and durable coating reduces friction in the guides and ensures maximum shooting ease and comfortable casting performance even under demanding conditions.
DirectCore
The ultra low-stretch core offers a direct connection to the fly and enables powerful strip sets as well as excellent bite detection even at long distances.
In short: The Rio Elite Tropical Outbound Short Intermediate Sink 5 Sink 7 fly line is an uncompromising saltwater line for tropical conditions. It combines an extremely powerful short head construction with graduated sink rates and offers maximum casting distance control and versatility when fishing at different depths.
