Pairing a long head with a long rear taper makes for easy mending, allowing you to fine-tune your presentation no matter how variable the currents may be. With this unique taper, you can count on quick roll-casts and single-hand spey casts when in those canyon-like stretches of water. This line features Rio's SlickCast coating to help you make those long casts as well as their ConnectCore to ensure minimal stretch when setting the hook and when some fresh chrome takes off upstream. Made in line weights 6 through 10, this line has an option whether you're dealing with dropback steelhead in the spring or larger salmon in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlickCast and ConnectCore\u003c\/strong\u003e - For exceptional line slickness and castability, Rio incorporates their SlickCast coating into this series of lines.

ConnectCore is also an excellent feature whenever you're coming tight to a fish and need to deeply set the hook, and it even reduces memory, making hand-stretching your line in between sessions nice and easy without hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eNymphs, Wet Flies, Dry Flies, and Streamers - Rio's Elite Salmon\/Steelhead series are do-it-all lines that can handle just about any steelhead fly in your box.

They've made this line with a solid taper for it all. With its long head and rear taper, Rio provides the perfect taper for mending over currents at nearly any distance as well as controlling your fly while it's swinging.
