The Evolution of Fly Lines: RIO's Elite Series

Fly fishing has long been an artform, a dance between the angler, the fly, and the water. But as every seasoned fly fisher knows, the unsung hero of this dance is often the fly line itself. Enter RIO's latest offering: the Elite series of fly lines. 


Expertly crafted and meticulously designed, this series promises to redefine performance, precision, and ease for anglers worldwide. Whether you're wading in tranquil streams or casting in dense jungles, the Elite series ensures that every cast is more than just a throw – it's a statement. Dive in as we unravel the magic behind each version of this revolutionary fly line series.


RIO Elite Indicator Fly Line 


Perfect for wading or fishing from an anchored boat, the RIO Elite Indicator Fly Line is every angler's dream. Engineered to effortlessly turnover a variety of indicators and fly sizes, it ensures extended, accurate casts, and efficient mends for an impeccable dead drift. Its unique design permits anglers, whether wading or in an anchored boat, to cast further upstream and achieve a longer, more natural drift. 



The long head not only facilitates efficient mending at a distance but also enhances stack mending techniques downstream. Advanced features such as the low-stretch ConnectCore Plus and SlickCast technology amplify casting control, performance, and durability. Furthermore, the EasyID on the front taper guarantees quick line recognition. Available in White/Red/Gray, this line promises "Strike, Set, Game On."


RIO Elite Smallmouth Bass Fly Line 


Specifically tailored for the ardent bass angler, the RIO Elite Smallmouth Bass fly line guarantees precision and accuracy when targeting smallmouth bass. Its powerful front taper makes casting typical bass flies effortless, while its extended handling section ensures impeccable control and delivery of the fly from a distance. The line's specially crafted coating maintains its slickness during summer but is easily straightened in the cooler spring and fall temperatures. Combined with the SureFire tricolored measuring system, this Moss/Chartreuse/Beige line is truly the epitome of excellence for bass fishing.


RIO Elite Warmwater Predator Fly Line (Sink Tip Version) 


Destined to be a game-changer, the new RIO Elite Warmwater Predator Fly Line is the definitive choice for casting large, heavy, and wind-resistant flies, especially in warmwater and jungle scenarios. Whether targeting Largemouth Bass or Peacock Bass in the dense jungle, this line has got you covered. Taking inspiration from their popular Elite Predator line, this version ensures that casting big flies remains a breeze. 



With a floating running line and the (F/S5/S7) density combination, it promises a swift and deep descent. Presented in a striking Black/Yellow/Blue color, it's bound to be a favorite among anglers.


RIO Elite Warmwater Predator Fly Line (Intermediate Tip Version) 


Another masterpiece in the Elite series, this RIO Elite Warmwater Predator Fly Line, with its floating/hover/intermediate profile, promises top-notch performance when casting large flies in warm waters. Its short, powerful front taper combined with a floating running line guarantees effortless mending and pick-up. 


This particular line features a (F/H/I) density combination, making it ideal for fishing in the top 2-3 ft of water. With a beautiful Clear/Sand/Yellow/Blue color palette, it not only performs well but looks the part too.
