RIO ELITE Tropical Outbound Short Fly Lines - Excellent for everything from Roosterfish in Baja to Giant Trevally in the Seychelles
Please Note: In case you are not familiar, this is a VERY HEAVY fly line. A shourt head and around 2 full lines sizes heavier than standard for each weight (so the box says 8wt but it's really 10wt equivalent weight for example). Not every fly rod will like this line. Only order this if you are familiar with it or your guide/lodge told you to get it for your trip. Otherwise do yourself a favor and buy Flats Pro or a species-specific line like any of the RIO Tarpon series. Call us if you want more info or suggestions, we are happy to help.
ULTRA POWERFUL, EASY CASTING line built for exceptionally long casts—with lowstretch, ultra-slick performance.
RIO’s Tropical OutBound Short lines are designed for fishing in hot climates. A short, aggressive front taper easily casts large and weighted flies very long distances, while the powerful head design loads rods deeply and efficiently for effortless casts. A range of densities including Multi Density Control allows the angler to cover the water column top to bottom with this versatile line series. Now built with RIO's SlickCast and DirectCore technologies, the Elite Tropical Outbound Short is the highest performance line onthe market for delivering big flies to big fish under tropical conditions.
There are 4 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:- A Full Floating line (F), for top water action- A Floating Line with 15ft of hover Sinking line, then 15ft of clear Intermediate Sinking line at the front (F/H/I), for fishing 2-3 ft deep- A Full Intermediate Sinking line with a 15ft clear tip (I), for fishing 3-5ft deep- An Intermediate sinking line with 17ft of Fast Sinking line, then 13ft of Extra Fast Sinking Line at the front (I/S5/S7), for fishing 6-12ft deep
