InTouch Short Head Spey
InTouch Short Head SpeyThe Short Head Spey line from RIO is a very easy casting, traditional style Spey line, which is ideal for Spey casters moving up from easier casting Scandi and Skagit heads. By popular request RIO has made this an interchangeable tip line. The floating running line and body comes complete with a 15ft replacement tip. Anglers just need to switch this tip out with the appropriately sized sink tip to get the utmost in versatility. The line is built with RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the very best in efficiency and load. Length 33,8 - 36,5 MeterColor blue / orange / straw Technologys XS (Extreme Slickness) The RIO test laboratories carried out extensive practical experiments and material combinations, until they discovered the secret behind the XS Technology. The result is a generation of fly lines with a slicker surface. On the water this leads to longer and more accurate casts, less abrasion, less dirt attraction and an overall better performance. AgentX Traditionally, getting a fly line to float has required mixing tiny glass balls (called microspheres) into the line’s coating. After years of experimentation RIO has developed a unique element which is six times more buoyant than those used by other fly line manufacturers. This process is called „Fusion Technology”. By simultaneously processing this super-buoyant undercoating with an ultra-smooth outer coating the results are the smoothest, most highest floating fly lines imaginable.

Premier Creek
The Ultimate Fly Line for Small StreamsThe RIO Premier Creek has been specifically designed for anglers fishing small streams, mountain creeks and tight, overgrown trout waters. Its unique taper loads the rod with just a few feet of fly line beyond the rod tip, making accurate casts effortless where back cast space is limited.Whether you're fishing dry flies, small nymphs or soft hackles, the Premier Creek delivers precise presentations at short and medium distances.Fast Loading at Close RangeUnlike traditional weight forward lines, the Premier Creek excels when fishing between approximately 10 and 30 feet. At the same time, the taper retains enough body to make longer casts whenever more space becomes available.Its supple coldwater core minimizes memory and keeps the line handling smoothly in cold conditions.Premium RIO TechnologyRIO's SlickCast coating creates an exceptionally slick, surface for effortless casting and long-lasting performance.

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. Max Cast MaxCast 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.
