RIO Premier Grand – Camo/Tan – Slick Cast Fly Line
The RIO Grand is a full line size heavier than the industry standard, featuring more weight distributed towards the front to easily load faster action fly rods. Built with a short head that is easy to cast, this line is also an excellent choice for novice casters who need a little more ‘feel’ when casting.
Enhanced with SlickCast, RIO’s proprietary coating technology, this line delivers the slickest and most durable performance ever seen in a fly line. Lab tests show it has the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line. The line also features MaxFloat Tip Technology, RIO’s proprietary tip coating formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips.
