Leland on the Rio Tropical Intermediate I/I Fly Line
An all-purpose saltwater intermediate fly line, the Rio Tropical I/I Fly Line is an outstanding complement to your full floater, whether you're fishing for bonefish, tarpon, permit or GTs. With a powerful weight forward taper, and increased density over a floating line, the Rio Tropical I/I Fly Line is an absolute gift in windy conditions. But more importantly, the Rio Tropical I/I Fly Line enables you to present the fly well in deeper water, getting deep and keeping it down where a floating line simply can't access.
