When it comes to casting bonefish quickly and accurately, the Rio Elite Bonefish fly line is a true game changer on the flats. The line has a long head and an extra long back taper area, this allows not only clean loops and finest presentation of the fly, but also a fast as lightning pick up of the line and new cast to the passing bonefish. The mid-length front taper of the head allows for a quiet but perfect casting of your typical bonefish flies, without scaring away the fish by bouncing the line.
The DirectCore core gives you always a direct contact to the fly and you notice even the stripping through the fine sand of the flats. When you strike, this in turn ensures a direct setting of the hook without loss of power.
If the fish are at a distance, this is no problem with the Rio Elite thanks to the SlickCast Coating, the coating is the smoothest coating from Rio and can be shot at extreme distances, so no wandering troop of fat bonefish escapes you.
In short, the Elite Bonefish fly line combines a perfectly thought-out design and the best line technologies to a truly impressive performance.
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.
