The latest generation of the popular Rio OutBound Short is here! The perfect line when it comes to quickly loading your rod with few false casts. The Outbound Short has been an absolute favorite among predator anglers for many years and rightly so, because the compact taper loads your rod effortlessly even with large, bushy and weighted flies. The optimal line for the next saltwater trip and that in any wind!
The compact taper quickly transitions into the supple running line, which has incredibly good shooting characteristics thanks to the ultra-smooth SlickCast coating. In practice, this allows particularly long casts with few false casts. Exactly the right thing, then, when it comes to quickly and easily casting to the passing fish before they leave the reef again.
The F/H/I variant (Floating/Hover/Intermediate) also offers the perfect control to the fly and that even in the breaking waves at the edge to the flats or a reef. This is because the slightly sinking line lies below the rolling waves, just where the fish are hunting and the fly is always in view. In addition, the 15 ft long transparent part of the line ensures that even shy fish are not spooked by the line.
In short, the Rio Elite Tropical OutBound Short Fly Line F/H/I is a perfect all-around line that will bring a fish in most situations. In addition, casting with the OutBound Short is a real pleasure, effortlessly and with few false casts the line fires fabulously!
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 durability 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 Plus
The low stretch braided core for saltwater lines gives you ultimate control over your streamer. The braid is strong and supple in equal measure, offering unrestricted performance even in hot conditions. The stretch is reduced by about 30% compared to other lines, so the hook can be set immediately even at long distances.
