RIO Powerflex Ultra Shooting Line
A hard, tough coated shooting line designed for exceptional performance in shooting applications.
Optimized for Skagit or Scandi style shooting heads, this line combines a medium-stiff Powerflex core with an extremely tough outer coating. It delivers effortless long-distance casts, enhanced durability, and consistent tangle-free performance. The ultra-slick surface floats high on the water, reducing drag and improving casting efficiency. Bullet-proof welded loops at each end ensure quick and secure rigging. The front loop is large enough to pass an entire shooting head coil through, enabling fast setup and maximum casting speed.

This line makes long casts much easier. The coating is durable and doesn’t tangle even after repeated use. Setting up the rig is quick thanks to the large front loop. I’ve used it with both Skagit and Scandi heads and it performs consistently.

Great for long-range fishing. The resistance during casting is low, and the line stays smooth even in windy conditions. The welded loops hold firm and make rigging fast and reliable.

Solid performance for shooting applications. A bit stiffer than expected, but the durability is impressive. The front loop works well with my shooting head coil. Minor drag on very cold days, but overall excellent.
