Product information "Rio InTouch Longhead Speyline Floating Two-Hand 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 traditional two-hand systems such as the Rio InTouch Long Head Spey fly line, which was developed for fishing on large rivers and with long spey rods.
The Rio InTouch Long Head Spey fly line is a classic spey line with an extended head length that is specially designed for large rivers and spey rods from around 14 ft. Thanks to the long head and weight distribution, the rod loads quickly and evenly, enabling clean, stable loops and long casts even in windy conditions. The sophisticated shape of the front taper ensures that the energy is transferred efficiently to the fly and the line unwinds effortlessly, which is particularly noticeable at long distances and in stronger winds. This floating line offers you control and casting comfort across a range of conditions, making it an excellent choice for the discerning two-handed angler.
A key element of this line is the ultra-low stretch ConnectCore technology which ensures maximum efficiency when loading the rod and playing fish. The reduced stretch supports direct power transmission and ensures excellent bite detection and control. The balanced taper design makes this line very comfortable and controlled to cast with both classic spey casts and modern casting techniques. The stronger weight distribution at the back of the head also helps when loading large rods and makes casting easier and more precise.
Rio technologies:
ConnectCore
The low-stretch braided core ensures maximum efficiency when loading the rod and a direct connection to the fly. The reduced stretch significantly improves bite detection and enables precise setting of the hook even at long distances.
Smooth surface:
Rio offers a very smooth coating that allows the line to glide particularly easily through the rod rings. This reduces friction and noise and supports effortless casting over long distances.
In short: The Rio InTouch Long Head Spey fly line is a classic traditional two-handed floating line with a long head length for large rivers and powerful spey rods. It offers excellent control and casting feel and is ideal for anglers who want to present flies reliably far and clean.
