Targeted to the overall needs of the average fly fisher.

• RIO's Mainstream saltwater fly lines have been developed to meet the overall needs of the average and novice fly fisher, and are designed to optimize rod performance with slightly heavier and shorter head lengths. Every Mainstream line undergoes the same rigorous production processes and quality control standards as all RIO fly lines, and is made in RIO's Idaho manufacturing facility. Each saltwater line is built with a hard, saltwater coating for the best in performance.



 
• Slightly heavier than standard lines for easy loading
• Supple core with a warm water coating that stays slick in the heat

A hard, tough coated shooting line, which excels on the shoot RIO's Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line is an excellent shooting line for anglers using Skagit or Scandi style shooting heads.

It features an extremely tough outer coating, over a medium stiff Powerflex core that shoots with unbelievable ease for ultra-long casts, has greatly increased durability and ensures tangle-free performance, cast after cast.

The line's ultra-slick coating floats high on the surface, allowing for reduced drag and making it easy to shoot. Bullet proof welded loops on each end make it fast and easy to rig, while the front loop is large enough to pass an entire shooting head coil through, for maximum speed and efficiency when rigging.

A hard nylon shooting line with a unique handling section – the best choice for distance

• RIO’s new GripShooter is based on the very popular SlickShooter, but has a thick, coated handling section that makes it very easy to grip in cold conditions. The thin nylon shooting line gives casters maximum distance, is light enough to hold off the water at range and allows anglers great control of their head and fly far out in the swing. A neat 8” welded loop at the front end allows for fast and efficient head changes.



 
• Thick, highly visible handling section for grip, durability and visibility

Designed to optimize rod performance at normal casting ranges with shorter heads, tapers and running lines that empower novice casters to make the cast.

RIO’s Metered shooting line is the ultimate shooting line; packed with features that result in long casts, greater hookups and more efficient fishing. The low stretch core provides enhanced detection of takes, more positive hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, the line features RIO's "RangeFinder" system, with a color change every 10ft making it easy for anglers to gauge how far each cast is, and consistently fish through a pool. A short front taper stabilizes the cast and ensures maximum distance and flight time, while large welded loops on each end allow for fast rigging changes.

In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
