Loop one of these fast sinking 7' RIO VersiLeaders onto your floating or sinking line. A floating line then becomes a mini-sink tip, or your sink tip will now get the fly down even faster into the strike zone where it counts. The 24 pound PowerFlex Core is built strong for steelhead and salmon and the fast sinking tungsten polymer mixture coating keeps your fly in front of fish. An ultra smooth RIO welded loop in the butt lets you attach, or unattach, these leaders, in seconds, with your fly line.

Traveling cross-country every year in search of Florida tarpon and West Coast steelhead, Jim Vincent learned the true meaning of life: It's too short for using lousy fly lines and leaders! The truth is, being exposed to so many different fishing conditions, guides, and anglers, Jim came to understand there was a need for specialty fly lines, leaders and tippets for differing fishing conditions. After 10 years of travel, he started his company. With the help of his field staff of guides, captains and anglers, like you, Jim tested and retested every product before releasing it to the public. He wanted it to be right the first time. RIO makes the perfect leaders for trout, steelhead, salmon, the saltwater flats and blue water big game with accurate turnovers and high tensile strength. Now all you have to do is add the fish!
