#Rio in touch fly line review full
The InTouch RIO Grand is a full line size heavier than the industry standard, and. Orange is for those that want to best line visibility and the new Lumalux color can be charged with a light source so that it glows in the dark for night fishing. We really like this line as it fits in with so much of NZ backcountry fishing. Several notable improvements for 2013 include a MaxFloat Tip for better tip float, MaxCast coating throughout the line for better shooting and durability and two new color options. This is our favorite general-purpose Rio trout line. A long rear taper provides superb loop control at distance and the new Extreme Slickness technology helps it shoot like an arrow.

The Elite-level SlickCast lines share the same basic lengths, tapers, grain weights, and some select technologies as equivalent lower-tiered lines, but also offer some worthy upgrades. The Rio Gold forms the most beautiful casting loops we’ve ever seen and is a particularly good match for medium-fast action rods such as the Sage ZXL. RIO says that lab tests show the coating to be 33 more crack resistant and over 140 more abrasion resistant than the next toughest fly line available. This is the Rio line we’ve been waiting for, a high floating trout line that casts well with a variety of rod actions. Designed with all-weather in mind, RIO has created the Power Fly in such a way as to allow the line to remain supple, even in the coldest rivers. Also worth noting, the RIO Perception features their SureFire color system a three color system that allows anglers to better recognize distance before shooting the line (thereby also improving accuracy).
