Conquer the flats with RIO’s Elite Flats Pro tropical saltwater line. This line has a mid length head and long back taper for smooth, effortless loops, and a weight distribution that provides perfect presentations of just about any fly you are likely to use. Each line is built on RIO’s low memory DirectCore and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. In addition the line is built with SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
In our opinion the RIO Elite Flats Pro is THE VERY BEST ALL-AROUND FLATS LINE, and perfect for multiple destinations, species and water types.
