Leland on the Rio DeapSea Fly Line with DC Head
Offshore and inshore this line is tough and rockets down to the
deepest depths. The braided mono intermediate running line is tough as
nails. The thick intermediate back taper turns over the weighted belly
for true
castability. Heading to Costa Rica? Better take this one along!
Specifications:
- Type of Taper: Weight Forward Sinking
- Total Line Length: 100 ft
- Core: Braided Monofilament
- Coating: Hard, smooth warmwater
- Color: Color coded for line weight
Leland on Saltwater Sinking Lines
Scientific Anglers and Rio increase fly line density
by adding powdered tungsten to the coating. By changing the amount of
tungsten and the diameter of the line, various sink rates are produced.
All Scientific Anglers and Rio sinking lines are density compensated.
This means that as the diameter of the taper changes, the sink rate
remains the same throughout the line. With density compensation, the
line descends at a uniform rate, increasing sensitivity and strike
detection.
Saltwater fishing can mean bigger flies,
windy conditions and warm water temperatures. A good salt water line
should be tapered for distance and turnover, bringing the fly into the
closest proximity to the fish. Lines, with the cores consisting of
multifilament for cooler conditions and single and braided monofilament
for warm to hot temperatures, should be designed for the intended
fishing temperatures. Finally, the coating must have ultraviolet
inhibitors to retard the effects of sunlight and a specialty saltwater
coating to increase durability against the elements. Much to the
chagrin of saltwater fish around the world, the gurus at Scientific
Anglers, Rio, and Sage have formulated lines that fulfill all of these
criteria. With proven taper designs, these lines will handle saltwater
conditions with ease, whether your target is bonefish, stripers, or
tarpon.

Rio on Rio DeapSea Fly Line
"DeepSea™ Fly Line - A super-fast sinking
fly line with a smooth tropical coating on a braided monofilament core,
with an intermediate sink running line and a DC 26 ft fast sinking
head. Called the self-casting line, it was designed by Trey Combs and
Jim Vincent to get down for sailfish and marlin as well as inshore
species in tropical conditions. Includes welded loops on both ends."
RIO on RIO Fly Lines
For more than 20 years, RIO has demonstrated passion, innovation and a
pure love for the fly fishing sport through its development of the
industry's highest performance fly lines. And the great news is, we at
RIO will continue to research, design and refine our fly fishing
products to ensure RIO fly lines are your preferred choice for years to
come.
In 1990, Jim and Kitty Vincent founded RIO in the mountains of Idaho on
the idea that exceptional fly fishing products should be built by
anglers for anglers. More than twenty years later, we're still fly
fishing in Idaho and driven by that same ethos. At RIO, we take great
pride in the promise to give you the absolute best of fly fishing on
your rod.
