We love the offerings by Rio Products in the world of tropical fishing, especially their tarpon lines. Rio has just expanded their tarpon offerings with this short head line for fast action rods, with quick loading sensitivity for close shots. Don’t be stuck trying to force a long head through your rod tip as the fish stream by. Check out the Tarpon QuickShooter.
Idaho Falls, Idaho / March 2, 2015
RIO Products, manufacturer of fly lines, leaders and tippet material, expand their fly line options for tarpon fishing with the new Tarpon QuickShooter
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Tarpon QuickShooter is designed with a short head that is 30 feet in length and a full line size heavier to easily load modern saltwater rods. The powerful front taper makes it a breeze to cast large flies or to punch into tough winds, while a long back taper and handling section enables anglers to pick up and re-target second shot casts. This line is ideal for close range shots at tarpon and on low light days when quick casts are essential.
This line is available in both full floating and floating with a 10 foot, clear intermediate tip that will sink at 1.5 inches per second. Welded loops on both ends allow quick rigging, and the AgentX and Extreme Slickness coating on the strong, stiff core will not wilt in the heat.

The Tarpon QuickShooter is available in WF10F – WF12F in sea grass and sand color and WF10F/I – WF12F/I in clear tip and sea grass color for a retail price of $89.95.

How are these lines different from the existing tarpon quick shooter they made?
Hey Jay- Thanks for the excellent question. The Tarpon QuickShooter is a totally new line this year. It happened to be released on August 1st last year, but as a new product for 2015 Rio held back the press release until Tarpon season. Hope that makes sense. -Ed
