Leland on the Rio Smallmouth Bass Fly Line
Just the ticket when fly fishing for smallies, the Rio Smallmouth Bass fly line balances turnover power with soft presentation ability. As bass anglers know, smallmouth flies come in a range of sizes, and casts can vary widely in length. With this in mind, the mid-length front taper of the Rio Smallmouth fly line delivers just the right power to the leader, while the line's long back taper stabilizes your loops in the air. The result? The Rio Smallmouth fly line gives you the ability to place flies on the mark in every bass fishing situation.
