Product information "Rio InTouch Mediumhead 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 around the world rely on Rio's premium lines and incorporate their valuable practical experience directly into product development. This is particularly evident in classic two-hand systems such as the Rio InTouch Mid Head Spey Floating fly line, which was developed for fishing with spey rods on medium rivers.
The Rio InTouch Mid Head Spey fly line offers a medium-length head with a long step taper at the front of the head zone, which enables very easy and efficient deployment when casting. This head length is ideal for spey rods between about 13 ft and 14 ft and for medium rivers as it offers a good balance of reach and control. The well thought-out design ensures that the line is easy to load and creates stable loops, which is particularly noticeable when spey casting at distance. The line is designed as a floating version and therefore offers additional flexibility for classic presentations and mending on the water.
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 ensures direct power transmission, which improves bite detection and control even at longer distances. Thanks to the balanced weight distribution and the medium-length head, you can cast the line easily and in a controlled manner across different conditions and thus quickly master various situations on the river. In addition, super-strong welded loops are attached to both ends for fast and secure rigging.
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 supports precise hooking results even at distance.
Smooth surface:
The line surface is designed for smooth performance which reduces friction in the guides and provides comfortable line dynamics when casting.
In short: The Rio InTouch Mid Head Spey Floating fly line is a versatile classic spey line with a medium-length head. It loads quickly, casts easily and offers an excellent balance of reach and control, making it an excellent choice for anglers using two-handed rods on medium rivers.
