Product development like that won't happen all by itself – that level of commitment is going to require thousands more hours on the water – but somebody's got to do it, and that somebody is RIO. No matter what line family, price level or quality RIO fly line you choose, you can fish happy in the knowledge that every single fly line is made in our Idaho Falls facility – close to the banks of our premium testing grounds, the Henry’s Fork and the South Fork of the Snake in Idaho. Fly line manufacturing is a complicated business requiring incredibly sophisticated machinery.
RIO spends thousands of hours on the water researching, designing & refining products.
Gold Jigger (purple/olive) (6 pcs)
Designed as a micro sized woolly bugger for universal use, this fly is bright enough to attract fish, yet subtle enough not to spook them. Tied with a tungsten jig head, it will keep out of the weeds and not stick on the rocks. This fly will excel in any trout lake or river scenario, and also work well for carp and panfish.

It redefines floating line performance. MaxCast lines float higher, shoot farther, last longer and stay cleaner. 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. Connect Core Plus RIO’s ConnectCore Plus full-sinking lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with no-stretch performance. Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore - The secret weapon for stillwater success.

Saltwater Mono
RIO's Saltwater Mono Tippet is the go-to choice for anglers looking to tie their own leaders for tarpon, bonefish, permit and other saltwater species. The material is medium stiff, with great strength-to-diameter ratio, ample abrasion resistance, lacks memory and provides incredible knot-ability. Awarded as BEST NEW TIPPET/LEADER by IFTD 2016! length: 46 m / 50 yds
Premier 24ft Sink Tip
A series of sinking tip lines specifically built for anglers that like a balanced casting rig. A unique, fatter body section eliminates the “kick” usually associated with casting sink tip lines; while the longer front tapers ensure the line does not dump on the forward cast. The supple floating body section allows anglers to easily mend and control the way the fly fishes, making it ideal for river anglers. Each line has a welded loop on the front end for easy rigging. The lines are sold in "grain" weights, and we recommend the follwing conversion to appropiate rod sizes:150 grains -> 5wt200 grains -> 6wt250 grains -> 7wt300 grains -> 8wt350 grains -> 9wt400 grains -> 10wt Length: 30,5 Meter Colors:150 grains = blue / black tip200 grains = yellow / black tip250 grains = hot orange / black tip300 grains = white / black tip400 grains = teal / black tip Technologys Density CompensatedRIO's Density Compensation adds a more dense material to the thin tip, which ensures the line sinking straight.

Elite Xtreme Indicator-Plus
Elite Xtreme Indicator-PlusThe Elite Xtreme Indicator line has been designed to be a very effective tool for anglers that fish nymphs and indicators out of a boat. The short head has a powerful front taper that casts indicator rigs with ease, and loads up with a single cast. Built with RIO’s low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, the line allows for intuitively better cast timing, easier line lifts and sharp, precise mends. Lack of stretch also means faster reaction time when setting the hook. An incredibly advanced nymphing line, ideal for fishing indicators out of a boat.

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.

DirectCore Flats Pro
DirectCore Flats ProThe Flats Pro is built with a front taper that loads easily on a short line. But the mid length head and extended back taper provide stability for fast, accurate, long-distance casts as well. From there, we continued refining the weight distribution grain by grain until it could make delicate presentations to twitchy bones in skinny water and drive bulky crab patterns into serious wind equally well. Head length: 11,2 bis 11,8 m Length: 30,5 m Colour: gray / sand / kelp Processed RIO-Technologies: DirectCore In hot, humid conditions, DirectCore lines provide the stiffness you need to fire into the wind, with significantly reduced memory. Which means your line lies straighter on the water for a more direct connection to fly and fish. DirectCore is also 25% stronger than other monofilament cores of equal size, and stretches 30% less at breaking point. In short, DirectCore makes you a better angler on the flats, in the mangroves and off the beach. 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 lines coating. After years of experimentation RIO have 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.
