The additional length is especially valuable when covering broad currents and larger rivers where precise line management is important.This makes the RIO Elite Greased Line 40+ an excellent choice for anglers looking to progress from shorter Skagit or Scandi heads into longer Spey lines.Longer Head for Improved Line ControlThe extended head is one of the defining features of the Greased Line Shooting Head.It provides excellent control during traditional Spey casts and throughout the swing. The additional length is especially valuable when covering broad currents and larger rivers where precise line management is important.This makes the RIO Elite Greased Line 40+ an excellent choice for anglers looking to progress from shorter Skagit or Scandi heads into longer Spey lines.Delicate Turnover for Wet Flies and SkatersRIO combines a steep rear taper with a delicate front diameter to provide an excellent balance between casting performance and presentation.The easy-casting taper is specifically designed to turn over traditional wet flies and skaters with control.This makes the Elite Greased Line 40+ an excellent option for classic salmon and steelhead fishing where presentation during the swing is as important as casting distance.Fully Floating Shooting HeadThe entire Greased Line head floats, making it an excellent choice for surface and near-surface presentations.Pair it with a monofilament leader when you want to keep your fly high in the water column.When additional depth is required, the head can be combined with suitable VersiLeaders. This allows you to adjust the presentation according to current speed, water level and fish location.A Natural Step Into Longer Spey HeadsFor anglers accustomed to compact Scandi or Skagit shooting heads, the RIO Elite Greased Line 40+ offers a natural progression into longer Spey lines.The longer head provides increased reach and line control while remaining manageable on general-purpose Spey rods from 12.5 ft and longer.There is no need to move directly to a dedicated long rod and traditional long-belly line.Key Features of the RIO Elite Shooting Head Greased LineFully floating two-handed shooting headDesigned for salmon, steelhead and other anadromous speciesHead length of more than 40 ftLonger than typical Skagit and Scandi headsIdeally suited to two-handed rods from 12.5 ft and longerExcellent line control throughout the swingEasy-casting Spey taperDelicate front diameter for controlled presentationsDesigned for traditional wet fliesExcellent for skaters and surface presentationsCompatible with monofilament leaders and VersiLeadersExcellent transition between compact shooting heads and long-belly Spey linesAll Models OverviewLine ClassSink RateColorHead WeightLength#6/7Float (schwimmend)Light Green/Blue470gr (30,5g)43ft (13,1m)#7/8Float (schwimmend)Light Green/Blue520gr (33,7g)44ft (13,4m)#8/9Float (schwimmend)Light Green/Blue580gr (37,6g)45ft (13,7m)#9/10Float (schwimmend)Light Green/Blue640gr (41,5g)46ft (14,0m)#10+Float (schwimmend)Light Green/Blue700gr (45,4g)47ft (14,3m)
Flats Passport Fly Line
Versatile Saltwater Fly Line for the FlatsThe RIO Ambassador Series Flats Passport was developed in collaboration with experienced saltwater angler and RIO Ambassador Oliver White. It is designed for travelling fly anglers looking for one versatile fly line to cover a wide range of species and situations on tropical flats.We offer the Flats Passport in WF8F, WF9F and WF10F, covering a broad spectrum of saltwater applications for bonefish, permit, tarpon and other tropical species.Its combination of a long head, front-loaded weight distribution and powerful front taper delivers quick rod loading while retaining excellent line control and distance casting performance.Long Head for Distance and Line ControlOne of the defining features of the Flats Passport fly line is its long head with an extended rear taper. This allows anglers to carry plenty of line in the air while maintaining control and accuracy at longer distances.This is a major advantage when sight fishing on open flats. If a fish changes direction or another target appears farther away, longer lengths of line can be picked up and repositioned efficiently.The result is an excellent combination of distance, accuracy and line control for changing situations on the flats.Quick Loading at Short RangeA good flats line also needs to perform when a bonefish, permit or tarpon suddenly appears at close range.The Flats Passport is built a half-size heavy. Its front-loaded weight distribution loads modern saltwater fly rods quickly with less line outside the rod tip.RIO combines this quick-loading performance with a longer head, providing the versatility required for both close-range opportunities and longer presentations.Power for Long Leaders and Weighted FliesWind, long leaders and weighted flies are part of everyday fishing on tropical flats.The short, powerful front taper transfers energy efficiently through the leader, helping turn over long leaders as well as weighted shrimp, crab and baitfish patterns.The result is plenty of power for demanding saltwater conditions combined with the line control of a longer head.WF8F, WF9F or WF10FWe offer the RIO Flats Passport in three line weights:WF8F for lighter flats rods and situations where accurate presentations are the priorityWF9F as a versatile option for powerful flats rods and a wide range of saltwater speciesWF10F for powerful saltwater rods, larger flies and situations requiring additional casting powerChoose the line weight according to your fly rod, target species and the size and weight of the flies you intend to cast.One Fly Line for Bonefish, Permit and TarponIts taper covers a wide range of situations:Das Taper deckt unterschiedliche Situationen ab:Bonefish at short, medium and long rangePermit with long leaders and weighted crab patternsTarpon with larger saltwater fliesOther tropical saltwater speciesThis makes the Flats Passport an excellent choice for saltwater trips where several species and different fishing situations may be encountered.Key Features of the RIO Flats PassportAvailable in WF8F, WF9F and WF10FFloating fly line for tropical saltwater fishingDeveloped with RIO Ambassador Oliver WhiteVersatile taper for worldwide flats fishingIdeal for bonefish, permit and tarponBuilt a half-size heavyFront-loaded head for quick rod loadingShort, powerful front taperTurns over long leaders and weighted fliesLong head for excellent line controlExtended rear taper for controlled distance castingExcellent pickup and repositioning performanceDesigned for demanding sight-fishing situationsAll Models OverviewLine ClassSink RateColorHead WeightHead LengthTotal LengthWF-8-FFloatSand/Purple/Orange320gr (20,7g)58ft (17,7m)100ft (30,5m)WF-9-FFloatSand/Purple/Orange390gr (25,3g)60ft (18,3m)100ft (30,5m)WF-10-FFloatSand/Purple/Orange480gr (31,1g)62ft (18,9m)100ft (30,5m)
Elite Predator Deep Fly Line
Get Big Streamers Down and Keep Them There. The RIO Elite Predator Deep F/S3/S5/S7 is designed for targeting pike and other large freshwater predators with big, heavy streamers. Its multi-density construction gets the fly down quickly and keeps it in the strike zone throughout the retrieve.Unlike conventional sink-tip fly lines, the entire head of the Predator Deep sinks. Three sections with Sink 3, Sink 5 and Sink 7 densities create a controlled transition through the water column.This makes the Predator Deep an excellent choice for deep lakes, river channels, drop-offs and other situations where pike and large predators are holding well below the surface.F/S3/S5/S7 Multi-Density Sinking HeadRIO combines a floating running line with a fully sinking head. The head is divided evenly between three different densities:Floating Running LineSink 3Sink 5Sink 7The graduated densities pull the fly down efficiently and help keep large streamers at depth during the retrieve.This is especially effective when fishing big pike flies with slower retrieves or longer pauses, where maintaining depth is essential.Powerful Taper for Big Pike FliesLarge pike streamers, baitfish patterns and bulky predator flies require a fly line with plenty of power.The short, powerful front taper of the Elite Predator Deep transfers energy efficiently and turns over large and heavy flies. Its concentrated head weight loads powerful fly rods quickly and provides the authority required for demanding streamer fishing.ConnectCore Plus for Direct ContactThe Elite Predator Deep fly line is built on RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus. Reduced stretch provides excellent contact with the fly and delivers direct power during the strip set.This direct connection is especially valuable when fishing deep water or making presentations at longer distances.SlickCast for Smooth Shooting PerformanceRIO's SlickCast coating creates a smooth, durable surface that reduces friction through the guides and improves shooting performance.Combined with the powerful Predator taper, it provides the performance required for repeated casting with large predator flies.Key Features of the RIO Elite Predator DeepSpecialized deep-water predator fly lineIdeal for pike and other large freshwater predatorsF/S3/S5/S7 multi-density constructionEntire head sinksHead divided evenly between Sink 3, Sink 5 and Sink 7Keeps large streamers in the strike zone longerShort, powerful front taperDesigned for large and heavy fliesFloating running line for improved line managementLow-stretch ConnectCore PlusDirect contact for powerful strip setsSlickCast coating for reduced frictionElite Predator Deep - All Models OverviewLine ClassSink RateColorHead WeightHead LengthTotal LengthWF7Float/3ips/5ips/7ipsBlack/Beige240gr (15,6g)34ft (10,4m)100ft (30,5m)WF8Float/3ips/5ips/7ipsBlack/Beige280gr (18,1g)34ft (10,4m)100ft (30,5m)WF9Float/3ips/5ips/7ipsBlack/Beige330gr (21,4g)34ft (10,4m)100ft (30,5m)WF10Float/3ips/5ips/7ipsBlack/Beige390gr (25,3g)32ft (9,8m)100ft (30,5m)WF11Float/3ips/5ips/7ipsBlack/Beige450gr (29,2g)32ft (9,8m)100ft (30,5m)
Elite Anadromous Advantage Fly Line
Versatile Spey Performance for Salmon and SteelheadThe RIO Elite Anadromous Advantage combines traditional Spey castability with the versatility of modern interchangeable tips. Designed for salmon, steelhead and other anadromous species, it provides the control and power required for fishing medium to large river systems.RIO combines an integrated body and running line with interchangeable 12 ft MDC tips. A floating 12 ft MDC tip is included with the line. Additional floating and sinking MDC tips allow you to adapt the setup to changing water levels, current speeds and fishing depths.The result is a versatile Spey system for anglers who prefer the smooth handling of an integrated fly line while retaining the flexibility of interchangeable tips.40+ ft Head for Controlled Spey CastingThe combined head and MDC tip measure more than 40 ft, depending on line size. RIO designed this configuration primarily for two-handed rods of 12.5 ft and longer.The longer head provides excellent control for traditional Spey casting and makes the line an excellent choice for medium and large rivers.Its powerful taper confidently turns over a wide range of fly sizes and leader configurations while providing the control required for long casts across broad rivers.Interchangeable 12 ft MDC TipsThe interchangeable tip system is one of the key advantages of the Elite Anadromous Advantage.The integrated main line connects to RIO's 12 ft MDC tips. A floating MDC tip is already included.Changing the tip allows you to adapt the line to different fishing situations. Use a floating tip for presentations higher in the water column or select a sinking MDC tip when you need to bring the fly down to holding fish.Colour-coded loops make matching the correct tip size quick and straightforward.One Spey Line for Changing River ConditionsWater level, current speed and fishing depth often change throughout a day of salmon or steelhead fishing. The Elite Anadromous Advantage lets you adjust the tip instead of changing the entire fly line.This makes it a versatile choice for covering different pools, currents and depths with one Spey setup.The integrated body and running line also eliminate the separate shooting-head-to-running-line connection for smooth handling and uncomplicated fishing.Recommended MDC Tip SizesRIO recommends the following combinations:#6/7 and #7/8 Anadromous Advantage lines with #7/8 MDC or Classic tips#8/9, #9/10 and #10+ Anadromous Advantage lines with #9+ MDC or Classic tipsColour-coded loops make it easy to identify and match the correct line and tip.Key Features of the RIO Elite Anadromous AdvantageIntegrated Spey fly line for two-handed rodsDesigned for salmon, steelhead and other anadromous speciesExcellent choice for medium to large riversCombined head and MDC tip length of more than 40 ftIdeally suited to two-handed rods of 12.5 ft and longerInterchangeable 12 ft MDC tips12 ft floating MDC tip includedCompatible with floating and sinking MDC tipsColour-coded loops for easy tip identificationPowerful taper for a wide range of fly sizesExcellent line control for longer Spey castsIntegrated body and running lineElite Anadromous Advantage - all Models OverviewLine ClassColorHead WeightHead LengthTotal Length6/7 wtStraw(tip)/Green/Blue/Pale Green500gr (32,4g)42ft (12,8m)110ft (33,5m)7/8 wtStraw(tip)/Green/Blue/Pale Green550gr (35,6g)43ft (13,1m)110ft (33,5m)8/9 wtStraw(tip)/Green/Blue/Pale Green600gr (38,9g)44ft (14,4m)115ft (35,1m)9/10 wtStraw(tip)/Green/Blue/Pale Green660gr (42,8g)45ft (13,7m)120ft (36,6m)10+ wtStraw(tip)/Green/Blue/Pale Green720gr (46,7g)46ft (14m)120ft (36,6m)

Elite Gold Max (camo) Fly Line
Powerful all-around taper for heavy fliesAt a full line-size heavy, GOLD MAX is RIO’s most powerful all-around taper for delivering plus-size rigs that get bites in fisheries not centered around long leaders and tiny drys. With the shortest head length in the GOLD class, MAX is purpose-built for smoothly loading weightier, unwieldy payloads.
