IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO / June 1, 2015
[dropcap]R[/dropcap]IO Products is a rare animal because it doesn’t always just self promote but educates. RIO goes a bit deeper and no example better defines than a series of clear, concise, step-by-step knot tying videos.
“The proof of the pudding is in . . .” these videos; plus all-important knot strength comparison.
“Education is a major focus for RIO, and helping anglers improve their casting and fishing knowledge is as important to us as producing the finest fly lines, leaders and tippet material possible”, says RIO brand manager Simon Gawesworth. “We wanted to create a resource for anglers to easily learn more about a variety of knots and to learn how different leader and tippet materials influence the end result and performance.”
