Overview

Designed For Switch Rods, whether for overhead or spey casting, with low-stretch, ultra-slick performance.

RIO offers two types of Switch lines; a long head Switch Line, and the short, easy-loading Switch Chucker. Each line has the head and running line seamlessly integrated into each other, which avoids any loop to loop connection running through the guides. The Switch Line is the best choice for anglers that want control of the line and fly at long distance, while the Chucker is best for fishing tight in and for easy casting of big flies, sinking tips and indicator rigs. Built with RIO's ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Technology.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 42 reviews.

Awesome line was easy to

"Awesome line was easy to cast"

Brett J. (5/5)

Another Winner

"After a few lessons and tips from friends, this line was recommended. It works very well for its intended purpose and for shorter, accurate single hand casts with just the head. The head has a thick diameter, taking up space in the reel and landing on the water a little harder than I like. It would be great all around switch line if it was thinner. As it is, it works as described and I love all the benefits of the Elite series."

Bryan S. (5/5)

Newbie to switch casting.

"Even though I ‘ve been fly fishing for 60+ years, I’m a newbie to two handed casting. A shoulder ingery has kept me from flycasting the last few years. Switch casting has allowed me to cast with minimal pain. The Switch chucker line allows me to do it again. Thanks."
