Streamer/Sinking Fly Lines

A floating line with a 9.5 ft clear intermediate tip, this is an excellent line for fishing streamers in fall as well as for nymph and chironomid fishing on lakes. The clear tip sinks at  1.5 – 2 ips, perfect for just under the surface or on windy days where a floating line will lose contact with the fly. Built on a Clouser taper it’s fantastic for casting big streamers or teams of flies and for managing wind. The single-strand Powerflex core with coldwater coating provides high line speed for maximum distance and the highest casting performance. Also includes the RIO welded loop on the front end for easy rigging.

WF4F/I – WF8F/I | Length: 100 ft (30.5 m) | Color: Yellow / Clear Tip

RIO Density Compensated sinking tip fly lines are designed with a balanced length of thick floating body so there is no hinge, or kick, during the casting stroke. Density compensation stops the problem of sinking tips or full sinking lines from sinking in a curve. With density compensation, the tip sinks at the same speed as the body, producing more strikes, precise depth control and better strike detection. These lines are available with a 7 ft or 15 ft sinking tip and have a coldwater tungsten coating on a braided multifilament core. Length: 90 ft (27.4 m).

7 ft:      Type 6 WF6F/S - WF8F/S

15 ft:     Type 3 WF4F/S - WF8F/S
            Type 4 WF5F/S - WF8F/S
            Type 6 WF6F/S - WF9F/S

Length: 90 ft (27.4 m); Color: Yellow with black sinking tip

The Density Compensated 24 ft sink tip lines from RIO are the best in the world. The short, thick body section behind the sinking tip makes these lines much easier to cast than competing lines, while the density compensated tip ensures the line tip sinks at the same speed as the body, resulting in better strike detection and more hook ups. The durable running line ensures that these fly lines will outlast anything else available. These lines are unbeatable for trout and all types of anadromous fish.

24 ft: 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500 & 600 grains 
Length: 100 ft. Color-coded.
