RIO Products, manufacturer of fly lines, leaders and tippet material, is proud to introduce the new Tarpon Technical, Tarpon Short floating lines and Pike/Musky lines and leaders.
Technical Tarpon
The Tarpon Technical is a floating line with an extended head of 60-feet that is designed for more advanced casters and ideal in calm conditions. The long head length makes this a fantastic line for pick-ups at distance and for repositioning second shot casts to traveling fish. The Tarpon Technical line is available in WF10F through WF12F line and is built on a medium stiff core featuring a hard, tropical, AgentX coating that ensures the line does not wilt in the heat. Welded loops on both ends of the line allow anglers to rig easily.
Tropical Tarpon Short
The Tarpon Short Floater has an ultra short front loaded head making this line simple to load and cast. Perfect for beginners or for fishing on cloudy days, the powerful front taper casts large, heavy flies and punches into the wind with ease. Available in WF10F through WF12F, this line also has the AgentX hard tropical coating and welded loops making it a fully featured line for tarpon anglers.
Both lines retail for $79.95.
Pike/Musky
Pike/Musky
The new Pike/Musky series incorporates two different line density options; a full floating line and a line with floating-running line and a 28-foot stealthy, clear-camo intermediate head (with a sink rate of 1.5-2 inches per second). The short, ultra-powerful head easily turns over the typical large flies and streamers used to target these fish, while the braided core ensures memory-free performance in cold-water conditions.
The new lines are available in WF8 to WF11 s, and retail for $79.95.
To complement the new lines, RIO is also introducing a selection of Pike/Musky leaders with two different wire options. The leader features a 6.5-foot tapered, nylon leader that tapers down to 16 pounds, attached to a 1-foot section of wire, for a total of 7.5 feet. The wire options (from 15lbs to 45lbs) are either a tough, silver wire with a quick-change snap link or a flexible, easy-to-knot braided bronze wire.
The Pike/Musky leaders retail for $7.95 each.
