Overview

Designed For Big Bull Gulf Red's, And Casting Larger Flies

RIO's Premier Redfish lines are designed for anglers targeting redfish and speckled trout on the flats and are built with two distinct tapers. The first is the Redfish which features a mid-length front taper allowing for more careful, delicate presentations of typical crab and shrimp patterns to wary reds. The second taper is the Redfish XP which is designed specifically with extra power in mind for the larger fish and flies typical of gulf redfishing. The line features a short front taper, turning over large mullet and baitfish patterns, while the short, easy casting head effectively loads the rod at close range. All lines in the series are built with medium-stiff cores and hard coatings that perform well throughout the range of temperatures encountered while targeting redfish.

Reviews

Great Line

"This line is great for fishing the Gulf coast, it handles all sized flies and temps. The taper and head weight allows you to load the rod very easily and get your fly out for those quick shots. I have used this line on 9wt R8 Salt, 10wt Salt HD and 10wt RPLXi with good experiences on each rod."

Redfish XP line

"This line was recommended by the region rep, Jeff Trigg, and performed beautifully where medium to longer casts were needed. Highly recommended!!"

— Bill B. (5/5)

Maybe for a trout fly!

"I don’t understand what type of flies this line is really designed for. I’m using it with the 8wt. Sage R8 Salt. Tried a #2 weighted Bonefish fly. You can’t keep it in the air. . you would think a brick is tied on. Tried it with an unweighted fly. Same thing. I used it with 4 rods. . Winston. Thomas, St. Croix and the Sage. Same result. Maybe I need go up a line size? Maybe someone can post a comment with the flies they’re using. . Cast great with a tiny practice fly. That’s about it."
