Premier Bank Robber
Premier Bank RobberTHE ULTIMATE FLY LINE FOR PRESENTING TERRESTRIALS AND STONEFLIES CLOSE TO BANKSIDE COVER Whether fishing stoneflies, hoppers, beetles, or cicadas, the most effective presentation is often the same--flies should be dead drifting and tickling the bank. The RIO Bank Robber was designed specifically for this style of fishing. Its fine front taper enables precise, accurate casts while its rear-loaded head easily carries the biggest and bushiest salmonfly pattern. The long back taper makes it easy to mend and extend a drag free drift while a unique, bright green section marks the ideal lengths for loading the rod and picking up for another cast. Finally, the Bank Robber is made with a slightly harder SlickCast coating than a standard trout line, keeping it slick and easy to shoot on even the muggiest summer hopper days. It has never been easier to get your fly up against that cut bank and keep it there, cast after cast.

RIO Premier Tarpon Clear Tip FloaterRIO’s Tarpon Clear Tip Floater features ten feet of gin-clear floating line, eliminating the need for a long, cumbersome leader, and allows the angler to cast flies closer to the target without spooking the fish.

Built with RIO's classic tarpon taper, this fly line combines a mid-length head and a short, powerful front taper, designed to efficiently cast typical Tarpon flies.

King Wedgewing (Isonychia) (6 pcs)
Unique Mayfly Adult. It’s amazing that after centuries of creative fly tying, most mayfly dun imitations look nothing like the natural. Mayflies have skinny, tapered bodies and a sailboat wing that angles back, in line with the body, like a wedge. It took Jonny King two decades a fiddling, fussing and frustration to figure out how to create that exact wedgewing profile using staple tying materials, like hackle, synthetic yarn and CDC, in a unique construction. The Wedgewing is so close to the natural that you may have trouble distinguishing your fly from the real BWOs and PMDs that float alongside it, but the trout consistently pick it out. Recent conquests include some outsized bankfeeders on the Delaware that refused dozens of other patterns, and sneaky sippers that ignored other mayfly imitations on western tailwaters. Content: 6 pcs

Trout Tippet Rings, size small (10-Pack)
Tippet Rings are small, very strong and lightweight, and make rigging and tippet replacement fast and easy. A leader with a tippet ring turns over perfectly, and they are light enough to use when fishing dry flies. Just tie the tippet ring to a leader with a clinch knot, and then add the required tippet in the same way.

Tippet rings also make it extremely easy to add droppers, and are an excellent choice for European Style Nymphing and for Indicator nymph fishing.
