Conquer the tropics with the ultimate saltwater fly line designed for the most demanding flats environments. Whether you are targeting bonefish, permit, or tarpon, this line provides the perfect presentation and performance needed to succeed in saltwater. Featuring a mid-length head and a long back taper, it delivers smooth, effortless loops and balanced weight distribution for casting a wide variety of fly patterns with precision.
This high-performance line is built on DirectCore technology, a low-stretch, low-memory core that is easy to anneal and lies perfectly straight on the water. This provides hard, solid strip sets and increased sensitivity while maintaining the stiffness required to perform in blazing tropical heat. To ensure maximum distance and longevity, the line is finished with SlickCast—the slickest and most durable coating available—reducing friction and increasing the life of your gear.
Designed for versatility, this series offers multiple density options to cover every scenario on the flats, from stealthy surface presentations to reaching fish in deeper water. The SureFire tricolored measuring system provides increased accuracy and distance control, while the Easy ID printed line specs allow for quick identification.
Key features include:
- Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating.
- Low-stretch DirectCore for hard, solid strip sets and minimal memory.
- High floating running line designed to stay on the surface and not impede the cast.
- Available in multiple densities: Full Floating, 6ft Intermediate Stealth Tip, 15ft Intermediate Tip, and Full Intermediate options.
