Overview
Specfically Designed For Delicate Presentations Of Small Flies To Technical Feeders At Range, With Low-Stretch, Ultra-Slick Performance.
RIO's Elite Technical Trout line features a long, fine front taper for the lightest of presentations and delicacy and is the ideal choice of line when fishing dry flies, nymphs, soft hackles and emergers to tricky eaters at distance. The line has a long head and back taper to increase loop control when carrying long lengths, and for making precise casts to rising fish, while the weight distribution makes it easy to turn over long leaders for technical feeders at range.
This line is built with RIO's low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, resulting in exceptionally smooth, durable fly lines, with the added benefits of incredible levels of sensitivity when casting and fishing, and providing enhanced detection of takes, faster hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, RIO's proprietary coating technology, creating the slickest, most durable fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

"This is my 3rd line weight for Technical Trout lines. I love the long gentle front taper and the very long rear taper. It lands more gently than a traditional weight forward line and the long rear taper allows for easy mending and roll casting."
