Rio's Elite Metered Shooting Line is an incredibly sensitive coated running line with low stretch, ultra-slick behaviour and features a recurring colour change for easy distance determination. This running line comes with Rio's innovative ConnectCore Plus and SlickCast technologies and is without doubt one of the best shooting lines on the market!
SlickCast is the smoothest and most durable coating on the market and produces the lowest friction ever measured in a fly line. The ConnectCore Plus core, on the other hand, ensures particularly low stretch, which means that even fine and cautious takes are immediately noticeable. The resulting outstanding line control not only has a positive effect on strike detection, but also on controlling your swing. In addition, the unique ConnectCore Plus technology makes it much easier to set the hook over longer distances. But that's not all, because the innovative Elite Metered Shooting Line from Rio has a colour change every 3.05m. Thanks to this 'RangeFinder' system you always have your casting distance exactly in view. For example, when fishing for Salmon or Sea Trout in the river, it's easy to target promising spots and cast repeatedly at a later time. Last but not least, a short, compact front taper for ideal power transmission and loop stabilisation perfectly rounds off the extremely successful Elite Metered Shooting Line from Rio!
