The very best Bonefish line on the market with low-stretch, low-memory performance.

RIO’s DIRECTCORE BONEFISH line has a long head and rear taper to smooth out the loop, and to make long efficient casts, while the mid length front taper produces great turnover and easy presentation of typical bonefish flies.

Each line is built on RIO’s low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to anneal (stretch) and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. A high floating coating ensures the running line will not sink when wading.

The core strength of this line is as follows:

WF6 - WF7 = 30lb

WF8 - WF9 = 40lb

• Long head, and rear taper for maximum casting versatility
• Hard, tropical coating that will not wilt in the heat
• Easy annealing, low-memory core that lays perfectly straight
• High floating running line will not sink when wading

The demands of bonefishing require a balance of long and short casts with precise presentation. RIO’s Bonefish line does just that, starting with a medium-length front taper to improve turnover without sacrificing presentation, and a slightly longer back taper to smooth out the casting loop.

The tropical AgentX coating combined with a Powerflex single-strand monofilament core and the new Extreme Slickness (XS) Technology results in longer casts and a line that will not wilt in most extreme tropical conditions.

With AgentX, the line floats higher than competitors’ lines, is easier to pick up off the water, and unlike competing products the running line will not sink and tangle while wading. Includes a welded loop at both ends for easy rigging.
