Features
- + OUTBOUND SHORT: This series of lines are designed to cast large and heavy flies and get huge distances easily. Built with a short, aggressive front taper that easily carries large, weighted streamers, and a powerful head design that loads rods deeply and quickly for fast, easy distance. A full range of densities make this a very versatile line series for both the freshwater and saltwater angler.
- + FEATURES: RIO’s Dualtone marks the sweet spot of a fly line by providing an obvious color change in the line at the sweet spot, while RIO’s Easyrid printed line marking system allows anglers to quickly and easily identify each line. Front & Back Welded Loops, a streamlined, bulletproof loop welded at the front of the fly line for fast and easy rigging and another at the end of the fly line for fast rigging to backing.
- + TECHNOLOGIES: Multi Density Control is a combination of different density sinking coatings in a single line that gives anglers complete depth control and perfect contact with the fly, while RIO’s SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market, producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.
