THE LINE
RIO’s Smallmouth line has been specifically designed to meet the demands of the modern bass fly fisher. The weight distribution and powerful front taper easily casts typical Clouser and Bass bug flies, while a unique handling section at the back of the head allows anglers to mend and control the fly effectively. The line is built with a hard, warm water coating that withstands typical summer heat, and ensures the line shoots through the guides with ease.
THE LEADER
RIO’s bass leaders are designed and built to match the needs of the bass fly fisher. The leaders are made of a medium stiff nylon and have a powerful taper design that will easily turn over large flies, and cope with tough winds. The copolymer material is incredibly tough and abrasion resistant. Each leader is 9ft long, and offered in 4 sizes from 8lb (0.011″) to 16lb (0.015″), and available in a single pack, or a money saving 3-pack.
THE TIPPET
RIO’s Bass Tippet is a medium stiff tippet material with great abrasion resistance. It is ideal for casting bigger flies like Clouser minnows and poppers, and tough enough to withstand being scraped over rocks and submerged trees. Four sizes are available; 8lb, 10lb, 12lb & 16lb, with 30 yards of material on each spool.
