The Rio Premier Tarpon QuickShooter fly line is a line with a short, powerful head designed specifically for fishing tarpon, but is also optimal for other species on the flats. It charges the rod quickly, casts large flies and has excellent shooting characteristics.
The short and powerful head of the Rio Premier Tarpon QuickShooter gives the line its name: Quick Shooter! And we can confirm this! The line loads the rod incredibly fast and the 9.1 meter long, short head is with few false casts outside the rod, so that the line can be shot quckly to the next fish! The ingenious Slick-Cast Coating also contributes to the fact that the line flies far and smoothly. The dynamic structure of the head is but not purely for hunting the Silver King to use, it offers itself almost as an all-round line for big fish in warm water, because all sizes of flies, can be transported with ease. The line plays out its strengths in difficult, windy conditions, when the fish are seen late and must be cast quickly. For a good orientation of the head, the running line was of course colored, so it is even easier to match the exact time to shoot.
In short, the Rio Premier Tarpon QuickShooter fly line is a great choice for windy days on the flats or from the boat, as the line's 9.1m short head is outside the rod in a flash. The ingenious SlickCast Coating takes care of the rest when letting it shoot, making fishing fun!
