Overview
THE ULTIMATE LINE FOR TARGETING SMALLMOUTH BASS WITH PRECISION AND ACCURACY.
RIO's Elite Smallmouth Bass line has been specifically designed to meet the demands of the smallmouth bass angler. The front taper easily turns over typical Clousers and bass bugs, while a long handling section allows the caster to deliver and control the fly at distance. The line is built with a coating that stays slick in typical summer heat but remains easy to straighten when the temperatures dip in the spring and fall - covering the full range of smallmouth bass fishing conditions. When presentation and accuracy are paramount, the Elite Smallmouth is the ideal line for the job.

Just Enough Heft for the Application
"Perfect for casting larger flies for predatory fish. You'll easily be able to delivery your larger flies to the target with this line. I'm always apprehensive buying line designed with a heavy head to "turn over big flies" because, in my experience, that usually means the taper going to be weighted too far forward and will be too heavy for the rod weight specified to put on. This line is just about perfect; it casts great with bigger flies but does so without the extra bulk at the front of the taper. This line allows you to get the larger flies out there and land with just enough of a "plop" to grab the fish's attention, but not so much that it sends them swimming for the next time-zone. Rio got it right with this one!"

Wasn't sure which Smallmouth Rio
"Wasn't sure which Smallmouth Rio Line to get so I got both the Elite and Avid lines and took them on a 3 day New River Smallmouth trip. After a morning of casting small and large bugs on the Elite, I switched to the Avid and wow...what an improvement! The Avid threw any fly effortlessly compared to the Elite. Apparently the Avid is for novice anglers but after 25 years in the industry, I am no novice and don't care what I cast so long it I can make good presentation with little effort. I am on the river to enjoy myself and enjoy casting. The Avid line won me over the Elite, hands down."
