THE ULTIMATE LINE FOR TARGETING SMALLMOUTH BASS WITH PRECISION AND ACCURACY
RIO’s Elite Smallmouth Bass line has been specifically designed to meet the demands of the smallmouth bass angler. The front taper easily turns over typical Clousers and bass bugs, while a long handling section allows the caster to deliver and control the fly at distance. The line is built with a coating that stays slick in typical summer heat but remains easy to straighten when the temperatures dip in the spring and fall – covering the full range of smallmouth bass fishing conditions. When presentation and accuracy are paramount, the Elite Smallmouth is the ideal line for the job.

This line casts smoothly even in hot weather. The front taper handles my Clouser flies well and I can keep the fly in place during presentation. Great for accurate shots in the early morning or late afternoon.
Rose Hamilton –
I’ve used it for several weeks now and it performs consistently. The handling section gives me more control when casting from a distance. It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but that’s fine for bass fishing.

The line stays slick even on hot days and straightens up when it cools down. I appreciate the balance between accuracy and distance. It’s become my go-to for smallmouth bass in lakes and rivers.
