RIO Smallmouth Fly Line

$74.95

It is finally here! After a few seasons of our guides beating up the prototypes we have the finished product in hand. I feel this is the finest Smallmouth Bass line ever made. The line is designed for casters. It is very accurate for picking apart a shoreline and carrying a ton of line in the air. I also am excited about the super hard coating for fishing it in warm climates. Let's face it, hot weather=great smallmouth fishing. Old lines turn into a puddle in the heat.

RIO's Description:

RIO's Smallmouth Bass line has been designed for the specific demands of the smallmouth fly fisher; featuring a unique taper design that loads a rod at close range, a medium length powerful front taper that is ideal for casting smallmouth flies and a long back taper to smooth out the casting loop and keep the line stable on long shots. A very unique handling section at the back of the head gives anglers increased mending ability and line control at range. It is the perfect line for smallmouth bass when accurate presentations are important. A hard coating over a medium stiff core results in a fly line that will not wilt in the heat, while RIO's XS Technology keeps the line super slick for fast long casts. The line also features RIO's Dual Tone that allows anglers to easily find the line's loading area. A welded loop in both ends makes it very easy and fast to rig.
