RIO Premier StreamerTip Fly Line
A series of fly lines with short, 10 ft sinking tips, specifically built for fly fishers that like to fish streamers out of a boat. A short, heavy head loads rods at close range, allowing anglers to make fast, one-shot casts. An aggressive, powerful front taper casts large conehead muddlers and bunny leech rigs with ease, while a welded loop on the front end allows anglers to change rigs quickly. Each line is built with SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
Two different density options available to cover every fishing situation:
- A floating line with a 10 ft clear intermediate tip (F/I), for hitting the banks
- A floating line with a 10 ft fast sinking tip (F/S6), for fishing in deeper water

This line performs well when casting streamers from the boat. The 10 ft sinking tip gets to deeper water quickly and the welded loop makes switching rigs fast and easy. SlickCast coating feels smooth and holds up well in wind.

I use it for muddler and leech rigs in rivers. The front taper helps with casting accuracy, and the sinking tip keeps the line down in deeper areas. A little heavier than expected, but that’s good for one-shot casts.

Great for fishing from a boat. The short tip helps with close-range casting, and the loop lets me switch between rigs without retying. The coating doesn’t snag on rocks or reeds.
