Rio Elite Perception Fly Line
The Rio Elite Perception is a modern WF fly line that combines all current Rio technologies for a truly impressive casting performance. It has the slickest, most durable coating on the market due to the innovative SlickCast Technology. Therefore, it has an extremely low friction when shooting through the rod guides, which creates phenomenal casting properties that will last for a very long time due to its impressive durability.
It has a short head that is absolutely great for fishing smaller streams. In fact, it is easy to cast and its powerful taper provides an outstanding all-round performance for a very flexible approach. Other than dry flies, nymphs and wet flies, it easily transports indicators, polyleaders and streamers. Therefore, you can spontaneously change your tactics according to the conditions. Further, its powerful taper is not only great for overhead casts, but also for all kinds of roll and Spey casts. This makes it absolutely perfect for targeting trout and other species in small creeks with limited casting space. In addition, the low-stretch ConnectCore Plus provides a direct contact to the fly and it enables effective hook sets at all distances. Last but not least, the extremely high floating tip with MaxFloat Technology allows a perfect presentation and silent lifting without spray.
In short: The extremely versatile Rio Elite Perception is the ultimate all-round fly line for fishing smaller streams!
