Saltwater Fly Lines
RIO DirectCore Bonefish fly line
RIO’s DIRECTCORE BONEFISH line has a long head and rear taper to smooth out the loop, and to make long efficient casts, while the mid length front taper produces great turnover and easy presentation of typical bonefish flies. Each line is built on RIO’s low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to stretch and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. A high floating coating ensures the running line will not sink when wading.
The core strength of this line is as follows:
- WF6 - WF7 = 30lb
- WF8 - WF9 = 40lb
Features:
- LONG HEAD, AND REAR TAPER FOR MAXIMUM CASTING VERSATILITY
- HARD, TROPICAL COATING THAT WILL NOT WILT IN THE HEAT
- EASY TO STRAIGHTEN, LOW-MEMORY CORE THAT LAYS TRUE ON THE WATER
- HIGH FLOATING RUNNING LINE WILL NOT SINK WHEN WADING
RIO DIRECTCORE FLATS PRO Fly Line
RIO’s new flagship saltwater fly line has been designed for anglers hitting tropical flats in search of bonefish, permit and tarpon. The line is built on RIO’s new DirectCore, a proprietary low-memory, low-stretch monofilament core that retains its stiffness in tropical heat, yet lies straight on the water without curl or retraction. The core, which has 30% less stretch than regular tropical saltwater fly lines, ensures solid strip sets and shortened fight times.
The new core isn’t the only technology advancement in this fly line. RIO’s SureFire technology, which has been used in their freshwater fly lines in the past, is added to the Flats Pro line. This triple color, distance-marking design takes the guesswork out of accuracy and distance control, allowing anglers to make higher percentage shots to cruising targets.
The DirectCore Flats Pro line is available in floating models and a clear tip “StealthTip” option that features a full-float head with six feet of clear intermediate at the tip. This nearly invisible front section allows for shorter leaders and easier, more accurate casts, while the increased density provides greater wind penetration.
Each line is built with a front taper that loads easily at close range, and with a mid-length head and extended back taper that provides stability for fast, accurate, long-distance casts.
This phenomenal line won “Best New Fly Line for 2018” at the European trade show “EFTTEX”, and “Best New Saltwater Fly Line for 2018” at the US trade show “IFTD".

RIO InTouch Striper Intermediate sinking fly line
RIO’s InTouch Striper intermediate sinking line is an easy casting, full intermediate sinking line that is built on RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for the maximum in performance. The line sinks about 1.5 to 2 inches per second, and is ideal for fishing 2 to 4 ft deep, or in waves and on a windy day when a floating line would "ride" the waves; resulting in anglers losing contact and control of the fly. The line has a supple, coldwater core and coating that has no "memory" and will not tangle.
A short, powerful head of 30ft, and an agressive front taper makes it easy to cast Clousers, gurglers, poppers and other typical striper flies. The line also has a luminous running line that can be charged with a bright light source so that it glows in the dark, making it ideal for night fishing. In addition the line has welded loops on both ends of all lines make for fast rigging
The core strength of these lines is 30lb.
