RIO Premier Tarpon Clear Tip Floater Fly Line
THE ULTIMATE CLEAR TIP FLOATING LINE FOR ANGLERS MAKING STEALTHY PRESENTATIONS TO WARY TARPON
RIO’s Tarpon Clear Tip Floater features ten feet of gin-clear floating line, eliminating the need for a long, cumbersome leader, and allows the angler to cast flies closer to the target without spooking the fish. The subtle seafoam head color behind the clear tip helps the angler and guide track the location of the fly throughout the retrieve. Built with RIO’s classic tarpon taper, this fly line combines a mid-length head and a short, powerful front taper, designed to efficiently cast typical Tarpon flies. This unique design makes quick casts to moving fish easy while also enabling longer shots when you need to reach out to distant fish on the flats.

Used this line on a tarpon outing on the flats. The clear tip worked perfectly for silent presentations. The seafoam head helped me see where the fly was without disturbing the fish. Casts were smooth and accurate, especially when targeting moving fish.

Great for close-range fishing. The line is easy to handle and the clear tip doesn’t attract attention. I noticed the seafoam head made it easier to track the fly during the retrieve. A solid choice for tarpon anglers.
