Rio has enhanced the performance of this wonderful fly line by building it with SlickCast – RIO’s proprietary coating technology. SlickCast creates 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. In addition, the line features MaxFloat Tip Technology, RIO’s proprietary tip coating formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter.

    Matt (verified owner) –

    This line casts very well! It flies through the guides of the rod so much better than what I was using previously. It has made it much easier to cast farther for sure. The only thing that kept it from 5 stars for me would be that it seemed to have a lot of memory after being on my reel and going unused for about a week. Maybe it’s just because it’s brand new line and that will work itself out, but I was surprised how much memory it seemed to have. I’m still pretty new to fly fishing so this might be normal…not sure. Still worth it based on how smooth and east it casts!
