Tippet (ultragreen)
Salmon and Steelhead fly-fishermen swear by it: This material is legendary when it comes to fishing on the bottom of a lake. Many high-stretched tippets lose a lot of carrying capacity after a short fish life. Maxima ultragreen still holds after many fishing lessons. So it is hardly surprising that you can see where Maxima ultragreen is used in the harshest conditions.

Sea Trout Leader, Micro Snap Springer
Sea Trout Leader, Micro Snap Springer This leader was designed for the coastal sea trout fishing around the baltic ocean. The leader is made so it can be fished with two flies at a time which greatly increases your chances of catching fish. This leader is not only for the coast it can be used anywhere where it is allowed to fish with two flies at a time. The integrated Micro Snap on the springer make is possible to change flies quickly without making a new leader every time and thereby increases the time you can spend on fishing instead of tying knots. Review:This new leader is really great for sea trout fishing here on the coast. The taper is perfect from the bottom to the tip. Perfect thickness and smart with the micro snap. An extra fly can be attached quickly. And the fly can change quickly. Extend the leader depending on the fly size you choose to fish with.- Morten Oeland Specifications: Length: 275 cmTip section: 0,25 mmSpringer: 10 cm flourocarbon with a Micro Snap Delivery WITHOUT flies!

Euro Nymph Shorty
RIO’S EURO NYMPH SHORTY is an ultra-thin, super-sensitive fly line designed for Euro nymphing. The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end. The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. Quick, easy and no need for an extra rod or reel.
FIPS Euro Nymph orange / sage / olive (#2-5)
The Euro Nymph line was designed to satisfy the need for a one size fits all European style nymphing line that is competition legal. The line is built on a thin diameter, low stretch, supple core to maximize sensitivity and allow for lightning fast hook sets, while a highly visible tip helps anglers detect the slightest of strikes. This line is designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques, such as „French“, „Czech“, „Polish“ and „Spanish“ styles. Line: one size fits all rods #2 - 5Length: 24,4 meterColor: orange / sage / olive 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 ge-neration 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. ;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.

Tied on a lightly weighted shank with a trailing stringer hook, and in a range of natural colors, the Flow Fly connects with both the reluctant nippers and the more aggressive headbangers.
