Overview
RIO's OutBound Short series of lines are designed to cast large and heavy flies and get huge distances easily. Built with a short, aggressive front taper that easily carries large, weighted streamers, and a powerful head design that loads rods deeply and quickly for fast, easy distance. A full range of densities make this a very versatile line series for both the freshwater and saltwater angler. Best of all, the line is built with SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
There are 6 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:
A Full Floating line (F), for top water action
A Floating Line with 15ft of "hover" Sinking line, then 15ft of clear Intermediate Sinking line at the front (F/H/I), for fishing 2-3 ft deep
A Full Intermediate Sinking line with a 15ft clear tip (I), for fishing 3-5ft deep
An Intermediate sinking line with 17ft of Medium Sinking line, then 13ft of Fast Sinking Line at the front (I/S3/S5), for fishing 4-8ft deep
An Intermediate sinking line with 17ft of Fast Sinking line, then 13ft of Extra Fast Sinking Line at the front (I/S5/S7), for fishing 6-12ft deep
A Full, Extra-Fast Sinking "Dredger" line (S7), for maximum depth

haven't caught a fish yet
"haven't caught a fish yet in the short time I have tried the line. I am only an average caster but I like what it does in salt water as an intermediate sink rate. I must bring the fly to the top in order to cast effectively. I expect that is the practice anyway. I am a float line fisherman."
— Craig M. (4/5)
Must have line -Pyramid Lake
"Must have line for Pyramid Lake, whether casting from a ladder or a ‘toon!"
— Darren H. (5/5)
Launching a rocket
"This line really takes off if you have it on the right rod. The short heavy head means a minimum of false casting and shooting a lot of line. I’m using the full intermediate and the I/S3/S5 versions in #10 on a 10wt sage RPLX single-hand rod and an 8wt sage Z-Axis two-handed rod. It’s like launching a rocket. But on a slightly more moderate sage RPL 8wt single hand rod, the #8 outbound short was total overload. Given how fast action most rods are today in the heavier line classes, this fly line will make you a better caster. But like most high-quality performance gear, you need to find the right match. On the right rod, it’s 5 stars."
— Grant M. (5/5)
I match this line with
"I match this line with Sage/Salt 10wt; Casts big flies with ease; I like the fact that the running line is not thin, it's slick and runs well through the guides. I will recommend this line, good job Rio!"
— dorin c. (5/5)
