Rio Elite Switch Indicator
The Indicator line is designed for long casts and big dead drifts with indicator nymph rigs. Wading anglers and anglers fishing from an anchored boat can maximize their drift with this line by casting far upstream, mending as their rig drifts even with their position, then mending with ease as it travels far downstream. The long head allows for more efficient mending at distance, especially when combined with the extra length of a switch rod, creating a seamless and longer natural drift. 30ft weights are selected to easily load switch rods when overhead casting and have enough mass to carry and turn over big indicator rigs. Strike, Set, Game On.

FAQ
What makes the CONNECTCORE PLUS core different from standard line cores?
The CONNECTCORE PLUS core features a next-generation, low-stretch design that improves casting performance and maintains stability during long drifts, reducing line movement and enhancing control.
Is this line suitable for use with switch rods?
Yes, this line is specifically designed to work efficiently with switch rods, allowing for long casts and smooth mending during upstream and downstream drifts.
Can the 30ft weights be used for overhead casting?
Yes, the 30ft weights are selected to easily load switch rods when overhead casting and provide sufficient mass to carry and turn over large indicator rigs.

Used this line for a recent trip on a slow-moving river. The long head made mending much easier when casting far upstream. The weights held well and didn’t shift during drifts. Great for indicator nymph setups.
Jessica Abraham –
Felt more control during long casts than with previous lines. The low stretch core kept the line stable even in windy conditions. Slightly heavier than expected, but that’s fine for the drift performance.

Perfect for wading and boat fishing. The 30ft weights load the rod smoothly and keep the rig upright. Drifts feel natural and the mending is seamless when moving downstream.
