Rio InTouch MidgeTip Long Floating Line
The InTouch MidgeTip Long is a floating line with a 6ft long, clear intermediate tip that sinks about 1.5 inches per second. Made in a clear-camo coloration for maximum stealth, this line performs exceptionally well on windy days and in shallow bays, near lake shores, and over weed beds. It is ideal for fishing nymphs, emergers, and chironomids (buzzers) in the top 24 inches of the water column.
Each line features an ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for superior sensitivity and lightning-fast hook sets. A welded loop on the front end allows for quick and secure rigging.

Used this line during a morning session near the lake shore. The clear-camo tip blends well with the water and the sinking rate is just right for nymphs. The loop makes setting up the rig fast and the sensitivity is noticeable when the fish take happens.
Owen Parsons –
Fished in a shallow bay with light wind. The line stayed stable and the chironomids were easy to detect. The sinking speed is consistent and the hook sets feel sharp and responsive.

Perfect for weed beds. The tip doesn’t get snagged and the sensitivity helps me feel every nibble. I’ve used it for buzzers and emergers and caught several small trout.
