Product information "ELITE Permit Fly Line"
The ultimate saltwater fly line for demanding permit fishing.
RIO‘s Elite Permit line features an easy casting taper that loads at close range, and a long back taper for fast, 2nd shot casts. The front taper and weight distribution is designed to give soft presentations so as not to spook wary Perms, while maintaining enough weight to easily cast typical crab patterns. Each line is built on RIO‘s low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to stretch and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast.
Highlights and Technical Features:
- Effortless Casting Taper: A thoughtfully designed head loads quickly at short distances and features a long back taper for smooth, fast follow-up casts. Perfect for the fast-paced demands of flats fishing.
- Delicate Presentations: The front taper and weight distribution are tailored to deliver soft, subtle presentations - ideal for not spooking wary permit - while still maintaining enough punch to turn over typical crab patterns with ease.
- Low‑Memory DirectCore: Built on RIO’s revolutionary DirectCore, this line offers minimal stretch, superior bite detection, and the stiffness needed to handle hot tropical conditions without tangling.
- SlickCast-Technologie: SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line. Allows anglers to fish more effectively as line slides out of the guides with less friction for extended drag-free drifts.
- SureFire Color System: Easy distance tracking and better timing with clearly visible color transitions.
- EasyID Kennzeichnung: Schnelle und eindeutige Identifikation der Schnur am Wasser.
- Welded Front and Back Loops: Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader.
- Color: Sand/Orange/Aqua Blue
- Sink Rate: Floating
The RIO Elite Permit is not just another fly line - it’s a purpose-built tool for targeting one of saltwater’s most elusive species. Whether you're stalking nervous fish on foot or casting from a skiff, this line provides the precision, finesse, and power you need.

SHIFT LT Fly Reel (stealth)
Peak performing multipurpose reels that cover the complete range of fly-fishing applications from high-country trout to hang-on-for-hell tarpon. Ultralight SHIFT LT comes equipped with Sage’s proprietary US-sourced sealed-carbon drag package, featuring an upgraded seal system and tuned per size to match the mission at hand. A One Revolution drag knob, found throughout the series, allows for ease of adjustment and reliable, consistent, repeatable drag pressure. Just select the desired weight and feature set for your application and achieve more.SEISMIC SHIFTProviding a calculable advantage across a full range of species considerations and fishing applications, SHIFT LT smashes the performance ceiling. Its lightweight, rigidity optimized 6061-T6 architecture gives it a bomber strength-to-weight ratio, while Sage’s proprietary One Revolution, US-sourced SCS drag system ensures this series gets it done – and then some. SCS Drag PackageWith its smooth engagement and consistent, dependable, and repeatable pressure, Sage’s Sealed Carbon System (SCS) drag allows you to fish with confidence knowing your tippet is protected. Proprietary high-grade US-made carbon handles high pressure and quickly dissipates the kinetic energy of that running fish into thermal energy. Tailored configurations allow us to create specific drag systems for each model, size, and fishing application, and the entire system is sealed to keep out water, sand, grit, and salt.EXCLUSIVE USA CARBONSHIFT LT’s drag discs are made with proprietary US-made carbon, the same material used in the brakes of jets and F1 race cars. We use carbon for our drag system because it’s the most efficient material for dissipating extreme heat without wear. Unlike alternative drag components such as cork or plastic, or even polymers like Delrin® and Rulon®, carbon does not compress, deteriorate, melt, or burn. It allows us to create compact drag systems that are high performance, stable, durable, and repeatable.Features of the SHIFT LT Fly reels: SGS Drag SystemProprietary USA Developed and Sourced Carbon Drag Disks and Sealing TechnologyOne Revolution Drag Knob With 40 Numbered and Detented Settings Counterweight Integrated into Spool DesignMachined, Ported Reel Handle for Superior Grip and Reduced WeightCold Forged and Machined Spool and Frame Provide Superior Strength and RigidityLarge Arbor for Fast Line Pick-upEasy Conversion from Left to Right-Hand RetrieveNeoprene and Embroidered Ballistic Nylon Reel CaseColor: stealthModelLineDiamterWeight in gCapacityShift LT 3/43/48,6 cm115WF4 + 100yds/20lbShift LT 5/65/69,5 cm125WF6 + 100yds/20lbShift LT 7/87/810,3 cm180WF8 + 200yds/20lbShift LT 9/109/1011,3 cm212WF10 + 200yds/30lb

EMFORCER Fly Reel (tempest blue)
Enforcer Fly Reel (tempest blue)- made for big and strong fish!Born of the performance of our renowned THERMO big game bluewater reels, the Sage ENFORCER has been updated and fine-tuned for the power, reliability, and durability needs of the saltwater flats angler. Designed with peak performance in mind, the ENFORCER offers everything the flats angler needs in a reel, whether taming the explosive runs of double-digit Bonefish or putting the brakes on the freight train pull of triple-digit tarpon. Simply put, this is the ultimate saltwater reel for flats and heavy-duty fly-fishing applications.But battles on the flats are exercises in nuance and chaos, so we’ve beefed up the O-rings and drag plates for added durability, consistency, and reliability. Maximum drag has been increased by 50% over the ENFORCER’s predecessor, the SPECTRUM MAX; you’ll find eight pounds at the arbor in the 7/8 size, 15 pounds in the 9/10 size, and 17 pounds at the arbor in the 11/12 size. For saltwater anglers fishing heavy tippets who don’t want to let fish run continuously—or who care enough about their fingers to avoid palming fast spinning spools—this increased drag allows them to get most out of their reel without sacrificing any metacarpals.From the first time an angler stepped onto the flats with a fly rod, it’s been well known that reels can take a beating in this environment; sand, wind, and salt love nothing more than finding a cozy spot inside a saltwater reel. The ENFORCER is more durable than any of our saltwater flats reels, with larger drag discs to better disperse pressure and maintain the consistency of the power band throughout the fight by stabilizing inherent stopping strength. An all-new reel foot design with radiused corners prevents abrasion to leaders wrapped around the reel foot for storage—or in the unfortunate, but inevitable, moments when the line wraps around the foot in the initial chaos of the hookup.Take these features—the old standbys, the innovations—and wrap them up in a burlier and more rigid and rugged cold-forged aluminum frame and you have a reel that will stand up to the drops, knocks, and beatdowns that frequently occur in saltwater fishing situations.• 50% Higher Drag Than SPECTRUM Family• Enlarged and Improved Seals• Increased Durability• More Rigidity• New Radius Cornered Reel Foot Model Capacity Weight Outside Diameter Spool Width Maximum Drag 7/8 WF-7-F + 200 yds 20 lbs Backing 273 g 10,7 cm 2,7 cm 8 lbs 9/10 WF-9-F + 200 yds 30 lbs Backing 303 g 11,7 cm 2,9 cm 15 lbs 11/12 WF-11-F + 300 yds 30 lbs Backing 318 g 12,7 cm 3,2 cm 17 lbs

Ambassador Blitz Fly Line
DELIVER BIG FLIES QUICKLY TO POWERFUL, FAST-MOVING FISH WITH WIND-CUTTING EFFICIENCY AND MINIMAL FALSE CASTSThe Blitz line’s short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid- Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.- Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false casts to a minimum- Extended handling section for greater accuracy on long casts and easier pickups on second shots- Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly" Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reachout with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting."- Brian Horsley / RIO Ambassador
