Rio Fly Lines

In his travels across the continent, from the rich tarpon waters of Florida to the broad steelhead rivers of British Columbia, Rio founder Jim Vincent learned that life is far too short and fishing time too precious to use just any fly line. Fishing in myriad weather conditions and

locations, with the input of numerous guides and anglers, Vincent's decade of traveling inspired him to found a company based on the idea that specific fisheries demand specialized fly lines, leaders and tippets. Aided by an extensive field staff of anglers, guides and captains, Rio tests and then retests every product before releasing it to the public. Rest assured that every RIO product is a proven fish-catcher before it ever makes it to the shelf. His quest to perfect the fly line has led to the RIO Grand, a favorite for today's modern fast action fly rods, and Density Compensated (DC) lines that allow sinking lines to sink on a level plane, eliminating the sagging effect that can result in missed strikes. RIO continues to innovate with technologies like Agent X, which both cleans fly lines and maximizes floatation and shootability, to Super Float Technology, which accounts for RIO's super high floatation, to XS (Extreme Slickness) Technology that allows for near-frictionless casting. If you've never tried a RIO fly line, you're missing out.
