The Rio Elite Stillwater Floater fly line is a perfect all-around stillwater fly line, when fishing from a boat. Belly boat or from the shore. The line's long, balanced head makes long distance casts a breeze and Rio's ingenious technologies provide brilliant contact with the fly and fish.
The Rio Elite Stillwater Floater fly line has an approximately 15-meter head that can be held in the air with ease for maximum distances on the lake. The head and the actual weight of the line are limited to 9 meters, the rest of the head is a finely tapered, 6 meter long rear taper, which may hang out of the rod as desired. One thing is clear, the line with the extra smooth Slick Cast Coating already shoots superbly as soon as the first 9 meters are out of the rod tip. The extremely low-stretch ConnectCore Plus offers an incredible level of sensitivity for better detection of fine bites, faster reaction time when setting the hook and more control when drilling a fish. Optimal, therefore, to still detect a bite even at long distances. In addition to the application in the lake, the Rio Elite Stillwater Floater fly line is a popular line on medium-sized rivers, because the long head of the line allow an ingenious Menden of a nymph mount with Indicator. The orange front taper of the fly line offers an additional visual aid for bite detection.

Rio Technologies:
- Slick Cast
The name says it all! With this new technology, Rio has really shaken up the fly line market. Rio itself promotes it as the smoothest coating on the market. Shootability, noise minimization and longevity of the line are improved. We ourselves found the lines so smooth that we had to rein ourselves in a bit at first to avoid overshooting the metaphorical mark. So we can subscribe to Rio's claim.
- DirectCore
Low-stretch braided core for saltwater lines gives you ultimate control over your streamer. The braid is strong and supple in equal measure, even in hot conditions the line offers unrestricted performance. The stretch is reduced by about 30% compared to other lines, so even at long distances the hook can be set immediately.
