Product information "Rio Premier Bank Robber Trout Flyline Terrestrial and other big Dryflies"

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 Premier Bank Robber, which was developed specifically for presenting large dry flies such as hoppers, mice, terrestrial patterns and voluminous dry flies close to the bank and impresses with its excellent control and precise presentations.

The Rio Premier Bank Robber fly line has a rear-loaded head that easily carries large, bushy patterns and terrestrials such as grasshoppers, mice, stoneflies or beetles without sacrificing performance. The fine front taper enables precise and accurate casts even in tight situations, while the long back taper allows for easy retrieving and extended drag-free drifts. The high density allows the line to run reliably on the surface and supports classic presentation techniques along bank edges where fish like to forage and bite carefully. A light green section marks the ideal length for loading the rod and rebuilding for the next cast.

A key feature of this line is the SlickCast coating which is exceptionally smooth and durable. The coating reduces friction when casting and ensures that the line glides easily through the rod guides even on warm summer days and enables high shooting performance when you need to position large terrestrial or dry patterns regularly. All in all, the result is a line that combines powerful performance with fine control and makes casting large terrestrial patterns much easier.
