Leland on the Rio Tarpon F/I Short Fly Line
Influenced by the success of Rio's Outbound Short, the Rio Tarpon F/I Short Fly Line utilizes a short-head weight forward design to load rods in a hurry when fish are moving quickly in and out of casting range. The Rio Tarpon F/I Short Fly Line is a floating line with a ten foot clear intermediate tip. The tip allows the Tarpon F/I Short to better penetrate stiff winds, and to drop your fly a little deeper in the water column. The Rio Tarpon F/I Short Fly Line is sure to become a go-to line among the hard core of tarpon anglers.
