Don't turn up your nose. Look under it. Ponds are everywhere and were the original stomping grounds of many lifelong anglers. Get back to your roots or introduce someone new to the thrill of eager eats and putting a bend in the rod. Find a pond near you, and watch 'em eat!

Break out RIO's Dog Days Gold line at your favorite farm pond when that summer sun is on the beat down. Its hard coating and medium stiff mono core won't wilt in the heat like a standard line, so you can keep the warmwater hookups coming even when the air temps peak.

RIO's Powerflex leaders feature a powerful butt section that provides unsurpassed turnover for effective wind penetration and to cast streamers and indicator rigs easily. Combined with our Powerflex Tippet, anglers have a nylon terminal rig known for its superior knot strength and versatility.

Remember to mimic the natural insects you find, turn-over rocks, and when in doubt try multiple options.
