Rio Premier Tarpon Clear Tip Floating 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 specialised lines such as the Rio Premier Tarpon Clear Tip Floating, which was developed for targeted fishing for tarpon in tropical mangroves, coastal areas or highly migratory stocks and impresses with its excellent presentation properties and versatility.

The Rio Premier Tarpon Clear Tip Floating fly line has an approximately 10 foot long transparent tip that enables extremely inconspicuous presentations and allows you to use shorter leaders without spooking the fish. This is followed by a medium-length head zone with a powerful front taper that loads typical tarpon flies safely and reliably and masters both short, fast casts and long distances. The high density keeps the line reliably on the surface, which is particularly advantageous when sight-casting for tarpon in shallow mangrove channels, in coastal lagoons or for migrating tarpon in tropical waters.

A key feature of this line is its medium-stiff core, which remains stable and does not give way even in warm conditions. The combination of the clear tip, a well-balanced head design and the smooth surface results in a line that offers both control and reach and allows you to bring large flies and patterns to the fish without unsettling them. The line runs cleanly through the rod guides and offers a comfortable casting feel across a wide range of conditions.

Rio Technologies:

Smooth surface
The line is coated in such a way that it glides particularly easily through the rod guides and supports power transmission from the cast to the fight.

Stable core
A medium-stiff core ensures that the line retains its shape and performance even under high temperatures and intensive use.

In short: The Rio Premier Tarpon Clear Tip Floating Fly Line is a specially developed line for fishing for tarpon in tropical regions. The clear tip, combined with a well-tuned head and stable performance, makes it an excellent choice for anglers who target young tarpon in mangroves or large migrating tarpon in the Caribbean or Amazon and require both inconspicuous and powerful presentations.
