Product information "Rio Elite Warmwater Predator Floating Intermediate Sink 3"
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 Warmwater Predator, which was developed for fishing for tropical predatory fish in the Amazon and impresses with its excellent casting properties.
The Rio Elite Warmwater Predator Intermediate Sink 3 fly line is designed to run slightly below the surface and offers the perfect balance between presentation depth and castability. With a sink rate of around 3 inches per second, the line is ideal for guiding lures just below the surface. It is particularly suitable for fishing in the Amazon for peacock bass, wolffish and other aggressive tropical predators, where fast and accurate casts in confined conditions are crucial. The balanced head construction loads the rod quickly and enables stable loops and controlled casts even with heavy streamers and rubber lures.
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. 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 high shooting performance. The overall result is a line that optimally combines control, robustness and versatility.
Rio technologies:
SlickCast
The exceptionally smooth and durable coating reduces friction in the rod guides and ensures a high level of shooting ability and comfortable casting performance, even in tropical conditions.
ConnectCore Plus
The low-stretch core provides a direct connection to the fly and enables excellent bite detection and secure control with powerful bites.
In short: The Rio Elite Warmwater Predator Intermediate Sink 3 fly line is an extremely versatile tropical warmwater line. It combines a controlled intermediate sinking behaviour with SlickCast coating and ConnectCore Plus technology and is ideal for fishing for peacock bass, wolffish and other predators in the Amazon region.
