Rio Bonefish Fly Line

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.

Rio MOW Sink Tips

Skagit MOW Tips are dynamic new tips that makes casting sink tips exceptionally easy.

MOW Tips are based on the type of sink tips that Skagit maestros Mike McCune, Scott O’Donnell and Ed Ward have designed and used for years. Not only are the MOW tips exceptionally easy to cast, but they also give anglers far more precision in depth control than has ever been possible in the past.

There are three different sets of MOW tips scheduled for release each featuring six different tip densities. The Medium and Heavy Skagit MOW Tips will be available from May 1st, with the Light MOW tips scheduled for release August 1st.

The MOW tip concept is simple; keep the tip length the same, regardless of how long the sinking section is. The majority of MOW tips are 10 ft long and feature a combination of floating and sinking line that gives anglers the greatest depth control. The six tips are as follows:

1. 10 ft floating tip

2. 7.5 ft of floating line seamlessly integrated into 2.5 ft of sinking tip

3. 5 ft of floating line seamlessly integrated into 5 ft of sinking tip

4. 2.5 ft of floating line seamlessly integrated into 7.5 ft of sinking tip

5. 10 ft level sinking tip.

6. 12.5 ft level sinking tip

Each tip features RIO’s new skinny welded loop in both ends for the easiest and fastest rigging.

Rio Skagit Short Spey Line

Skagit short lines are designed for Skagit style casting with shorter rods – both single handed and switch rods, 9’ – 11’. The heads are 20 ft long with an integrated running line and blue colored line in between the head and the running line. There is a loop on the front and is designed to be used with tips. The sizes range from 275 to 525 grains, in 50 grain increments. Because they are dense in grains per foot (essentially cut back versions of the 375 to 700 27’ Skagit heads) , ranging from 13.5 to 26 grains per foot, the turnover of tips and flies is remarkable. These also work well on the 5 and 6 weight, 12’ 6” spey rods.

525 grain line is new for 2010

The line is manufactured with RIO’s latest high tech coatings: XS Technology for a super slick, dirt repelling coating, AgentX for an ultra smooth surface and high floating running line and Super Floatation Technology that creates a high floating tip.
