Rio Premier LightLine Floating Fly Line
One of the few lines that is true to lineweight
RIO’s LightLine has been designed to load slower, more traditional action fly rods such as bamboo, glass and the more “Classic” flexing graphite rods. Built to precisely match the industry line standards, this line will not overload such rods – even at longer range. The weight distribution and short front taper ensures the line loads at close range, making it ideal for fishing on smaller creeks and streams, while the softer, supple coating ensures the line remains relaxed and easy to handle in the majority of conditions.

I’ve used this line with my bamboo rod for years and it feels perfectly matched. It doesn’t feel stiff or overloading, which is exactly what I wanted for small stream fishing. The short front taper makes it easy to cast in tight spaces.

Great for slow-action rods. The line stays relaxed and doesn’t snap unexpectedly. I noticed a smoother cast compared to other floating lines I’ve tried.

Perfect for fishing in small creeks. The coating is soft and the line loads gently, which helps with accuracy and control. I’m happy with the performance in both calm and slightly windy conditions.
