Anglers will spend more time on the water fishing, not rigging.įor more details or information contact: Simon Gawesworth, or Zack Dalton, at RIO Products Intl., Inc. Never before has it been so easy and fast to rig a new fly line to a reel, or to change lines to meet changing fishing conditions. There is no quicker way to rig a fly line than to tie the backing to a loop with an improved clinch knot or tie a large loop in the backing to change lines quickly in the field. Due to popular demand, RIO now includes welded loops on both ends of the premium trout and saltwater lines. RIO was the first company to manufacturer all its premium lines with a neat welded loop in the front end. Casting the DualTone™ Lines makes it easy to see the pickup point, how much line to hold in the air when false casting and when to make the final cast. Each line has been tested on a selection of rods to determine the exact point on the line that achieves optimum performance on a variety of rods. The design of every fly line taper, its most likely application and each line size are all carefully taken into account and the location of the color change is unique to each individual fly line. Between the success of these products, and the positive feedback from RIO’s field testers and anglers, RIO decided to feature the DualTone™ load locator system to all of RIO’s trout lines including the popular RIO Grand, and the new Trout LT and Indicator lines. The color change gives anglers a visual reference point of where a particular line loads their rod.Īnglers have been testing RIO’s DualTone system for a number of years in two premier trout lines the RIO Gold and the WindCutter II.

RIO is loaded with products and experts to help you get out on the water, so don’t hesitate to give them a call.Dual-tone coloring - which shows the “sweet spot” in fly lines - has become a very popular feature of RIO’s higher-end fly lines in the past few years. Another favorite of mine is the RIO Gold Fly Line, the perfect all-around floating line. If you are looking for an intermediate sink tip that will work wading and, in a boat, this is for you. Having a sinking line is key to effectively streamer fish those big buckets and banks effectively, and RIO’s InTouch Sink Tip WF5F/S3 ($89.99) was perfect for me. With this sensitivity, even a smaller bump was detected like this brown trout. Also, with the low stretch ConnectCore technology, I always felt like a had a great connection with the fly. I could effortlessly flick the line floating body and change my swing. What I really loved was how easy mending was. On the Madison, I really got some time with my new RIO line. The weather had improved and there was talk of some BWOs getting the fish moving. Strip, strip, strip, WHAM! Perfect first fish on the new setup.Ī few days later I headed over to the Madison. Smooth cast without the abrupt kick that can happen with a heavy rig. The 15’ sinking section combined with the 21’ body loaded like a dream. Casting the InTouch Sink Tip was a dream. So, I rigged up my new streamer setup with a dark sparkle minnow and walked down. The first evening I was there as I was setting up dinner, I could see monster bows cruising the shore. Such a big river to tackle on foot and water was still cold and not much action but the sporadic afternoon midge hatch.īut, from there I was directed to a small lake as a good camping spot for me and the pup. I had some friends to see in Livingston so I decided to head there and spend a few days on the Yellowstone while hoping neighboring rivers would warm up a tad. Broken down this is an intermediate sinking tip with a sinking rate of 3 inches/second. This particular sink tip line would allow me to streamer fish both from shore and boat by adjusting the time the line sits in the water and stripping speed.
