Key Specs
Features
- + Fly Fishing Tippet: RIO's newest tippet material is an ultra-strong, 100% fluorocarbon with exceptionally high tensile strength. The material is very easy to tie knots in, with high knot strength and a smooth finish that ensures knots seat easily and tightly.
- + Trout Fishing Leader: The high break strength to diameter ratio makes this a fantastic fluorocarbon for the trout fly fisher.
- + Half Sizes: RIO is proud to introduce "half sizes" of core trout diameters, giving anglers an extra choice when faced with the decision to choose between, say 4X and 5X. Our new 6.5X, 5.5X and 4.5X sizes will make those decisions easier.
- + 100 Yard Spools: Each spool has 100 yards of top quality material spooled on, though for those who use a lot of fluoro, our Guide spools each have 100 yards spooled on.
- + Target Species: The RIO fly fishing leader is designed for trout fishing, and other freshwater applications. Ideal for dry flies, soft hackles, and nymphs.
