Rio Elite Xtreme Indicator Flyline Floating
Fishing with the nymph is a very effective tactic to chase trout and other fish. To make this type of fishing even easier and more successful, RIO has released the new Elite Xtreme Indicator fly line.
The high-tech floating line has been specially designed for fishing with the nymph. Whether with or without a indicator, the powerful head of the line cast your fly with ease and directly to the next fish with just one false cast. The handling section of the line helps to find the perfect time to shoot. For better bite detection, there is a 2.7m colored section of the fly line. The total head of the line is 10 meters, this makes it possible to mend in a controlled way and present the nymph perfectly.
Those who want to effectively and quickly scan the whole river with their nymph will love the Xtreme Indicator!
In addition to weighted nymphs and indicators, the line is also ideal for large dry flies, foam hoppers and streamers. The colored area of the line helps you to recognize even careful bites in fast currents or to better guess in which area your streamer is currently located.
Rio Technology:
- Slick Cast
The name says it all! With this new technology Rio has stirred up the fly line market properly. 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 hold back a bit at first to avoid overshooting the metaphorical mark. So we can subscribe to Rio's claim
- MaxFloat Technology
Rio's all-new MaxFloat tip coating, patented to boot, ensures that the range floats twice as high as normal tips without increasing in diameter. This provides maximum buoyancy where it is needed most.
- ConnectCore Plus
Low-stretch braided core gives you ultimate control over your fly. The braid is strong and supple in equal measure, even in icy conditions the line stays absolutely curl free. Stretch is reduced by about 30% compared to other lines, so even at long distances every little tug arrives at the end of your leader. On the water, this means better bite detection and yield, and an even more controlled fly action.
- MaxCast
The MaxCast Coating is a HiTech coating that improves the slide of fly lines. It also makes lines float higher, stay cleaner longer and are more durable.
