Rio Elite Bonefish Fly Line
The very best bonefish line on the market with low-stretch, ultra-slick performance.
RIO’s Elite Bonefish line features a long head and back taper to smooth out the loop and enable long, efficient casts. The mid-length front taper delivers great turnover and easy presentation of typical bonefish flies.
Each line is constructed with RIO’s low-memory DirectCore technology, which is extremely easy to anneal (stretch) and lies perfectly straight on the water. It maintains the stiffness required for casting in hot conditions.
Built with SlickCast technology, this line offers the slickest, most durable coating available—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

This line casts smoothly even in windy conditions. The presentation is precise and the flies stay in place well. I’ve used it for several weeks and it hasn’t lost any of its performance.
Kimberly Hamilton –
The low stretch and smooth taper make it ideal for bonefish fishing. It’s easy to cast long distances and the flies turn over naturally. Very satisfied with the quality and feel.
Anthony Paige –
Great for long casts and consistent fly delivery. The coating feels very smooth and there’s minimal drag. A bit more expensive, but worth it for the performance.
