The Rio Streamer Tip fly line featured here in the Type 6 sink tip.
A series of fly lines with short, 10 ft sinking tips, specifically built for fly fishers that like to fish streamers out of a boat. A short, heavy head loads rods at close range, allowing anglers to make fast, one-shot casts. An aggressive, powerful front taper casts large conehead muddlers and bunny leech rigs with ease, while a welded loop on the front end allows anglers to change rigs quickly. Each line is built with SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
There are 2 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:
A Floating line with a 10ft clear Intermediate tip(F/I), for hitting the banks- approximately 2 ips
A Floating Line with a 10ft fast Sinking tip (F/S6), for fishing in deeper water- approximately 6 ips (featured here)
* Short, powerful head to load at close range
* Aggressive front taper easily cast large streamers
* Range of densities for all fishing situations
* Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating
* Welded loops for super fast rigging
* DUALTONE- Marks the sweet spot of a fly line by providing an obvious color change in the line at the sweet spot.
* EASYID- RIO’s printed line marking system that allows anglers to quickly and easily identify each line.
* FRONT WELDED LOOP- A neat, bulletproof loop welded at the front of the fly line for fast Spey-specific rigging.
* BACK WELDED LOOP- A neat, bulletproof loop welded at the end of the fly line for fast rigging to backing.
SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable coating on the market – producing the least amount of friction ever measured on a fly line.
