RIO SlickCast & ConnectCore Plus
Vorstellung der neuesten RIO-Fliegenschnurtechnologien:
OUTCAST
Besser Werfen, bessere Schnurkontrolle, besser Fischen. Der fühlbarste Unterschied der neuen RIO SlickCast Fliegenschnüre ist, die Oberflächenglätte der neuen Schnüre. Sie spüren wie glatt die Schnüre sind bereits bevor sie die Schnur auf die Rolle spulen. Sie werden die Glattheit bereits beim ersten Wurf lieben. Sie werden erstaunt sein wie glatt die Schnur auch nach unzähligen Tagen am Wasser bleibt. Egal ob es die plötzlich mögliche Extra-Distanzen oder die längeren Driften Ihrer Trockenfliege ohne dreggen sind. RIO SlickCast Schnüre schießen mühelos durch die Rutenringe. Ziel vom RIO Entwicklerteam war es, dass die neuen Schnüre mit SlickCast eine bisher nie dagewesene Oberflächenglätte über eine möglichst lange Zeit behalten.
OUTLAST
Längere Haltbarkeit, längerer Einsatz, längere Performance Der nicht fühlbare Unterschied der RIO SlickCast Schnüre ist ihre deutlich verbesserte Haltbarkeit. Sicherlich wissen Sie dies nicht am ersten Tag des Einsatzes zu schätzen. Da sind Sie am Wasser zu sehr mit Ihrer fantastischen neuen Schnur beschäftigt. Sicherlich werden Sie es am 25. Tag des Schnureinsatzes merken, am 50. Tag werden Sie begeistert sein und an Tag 80 des Einsatzes am Wasser werden Sie sehr beeindruckt sein. Das von RIO eigens in den Laboren entwickelte SLICKCAST Coating besticht bei den Tests in Bezug auf Abriebs und Langlebigkeit – beide Faktoren zusammen ergeben die robusteste, jemals von RIO entwickelte Fliegenschnur! Laut den RIO Labortests werden die neuen SlickCast Schnüre jede andere Fliegenschnur in ihrer Lebensdauer in den Schatten stellen!
ConnectCore Plus-Schnurseele
Die neue ConnectCore Plus Seele bietet eine unglaubliche Verbesserung in Sachen Schnurhaltbarkeit, Coating-Geschmeidigkeit und summierte Leistungsfähigkeit.
Connect-Core Plus dehnt sich 30 % weniger als Standard-Schnurseelen und gibt dem Fliegenfischer gleichzeitig alle Vorteile einer dehnungsarmen
Seele: höherer Sensitivität, eine deutlich bessere Energienutzung beim Werfen und beim Anhieb setzen. Der Anhieb kann
schneller gesetzt werden – zudem wurde die Haltbarkeit einer Fliegenschnur deutlich erhöht.
Mit einer ConnectCore Plus Schnurseele hat man einen sehr direkten Kontakt zum Fisch und der Fliege.
Die ConnectCore Plus Schnur-Seele wird in allen neuen RIO ELITE Fliegenschnüren verwendet.
SlickCast
Die Oberflächenglätte „SLICKNESS“ einer Fliegenschnur ist die wichtige Eigenschaft für Distanzen oder um Schnur bei Driften nach zu füttern. Einfach gesagt: je glatter eine Fliegenschnur ist, desto effektiver werden Sie fischen, da Sie leichter Distanzen erreichen und die Driften ohne Dreggen deutlich verlängern können.
Das Slickcast-Coating ist deutlich robuster und langlebiger als alle bisher hergestellten Fliegenschnüre. Die Rissanfälligkeit wurde nachweislich im Labor deutlich reduziert. Die Lebensdauer von SlickCast Schnüren wird Sie erstaunen!
Das neue SlickCast-Coating wird in allen RIO ELITE und RIO PREMIER Schnüren verwendet.
Premier Gold (moss/gold - floating) Fly Line
THE ULTIMATE, ALL-AROUND floating line for trout with ultra-slick performance.

Max CastMaxCast is a ultra-sophisticated line coating, made with a groundbreaking proprietary formula. It redefines floating line performance. MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner. Max Float TipTired of floating lines that work like Sink Tips? Fact is, the reduced coating at the narrow, tapered end of most floating lines doesn’t have enough buoyancy to stay above water. RIO’s MaxFloat Tips solves this age-old problem. Our all-new, proprietary tip coating formula floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter. That puts maximum floatation right where you need it for reduced drag, longer presentations and quieter pickups. Welded LoopsRIO pioneered / originated the innovative welded loop technique. Welded loop fly line tips float better and enable a rapid change of leader. Almost all RIO fly lines are supplied with these small welded loops, please see the appropriate line diagram for information.
