RIO Premier Grand – Green/Yellow – Slick Cast Fly Line
The RIO Grand is a full line size heavier than the industry standard, with more weight distributed toward the front to easily load faster action fly rods. Its short head design makes it easy to cast, and it provides novice casters with a better sense of feel during casting.
Enhanced with RIO’s SlickCast proprietary coating technology, this line offers the slickest and most durable performance available. Lab tests show it has the lowest friction ever measured in a fly line. The line also features MaxFloat Tip Technology, RIO’s proprietary tip coating that floats more than twice as high as standard line tips.

Smooth as silk. The friction is minimal and I can cast with confidence. The MaxFloat tip keeps the line from snagging, which is a big plus in the field.
