Description
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR ANGLERS FISHING IN TROPICAL HEAT
- Powerful front taper that delivers larger flies with exceptional ease
- Perfect for "jungle" species such as Peacock Bass, Dorado and Pacu
- Easy annealing, low-memory core that lays perfectly straight
- Hard, tropical coating that will not wilt in the heat
RIO’s JUNGLE SERIES of fly lines are designed to withstand the heat of tropical and jungle destinations. Each line is built on RIO’s low-memory DirectCore that is extremely easy to anneal (stretch) and lies perfectly straight on the water, yet retains the stiffness needed to cast in hot conditions. Each line has a short, quick-loading head that will easily cast and turnover typical large flies, and a range of density options ensures anglers are covered for all species, conditions and waters.
F/I - A floating line with a 30ft INTERMEDIATE head, the first 10ft of which is clear
DIRECTCORE - DirectCore is RIO’s low-stretch core used in tropical lines. DirectCore stretches 30% less than other tropical cores, is exceptionally easy to pull coils out of, and lies exceptionally straight on the water.
EXTREME SLICKNESS - Extreme Slickness technology is a chemistry formulation that results in an ultra- slick line with dirt-repelling properties.
DUALTONE - Marks the sweet spot of a fly line by providing an obvious color change in the line at the sweet spot.
FRONT WELDED LOOP - A neat, bulletproof loop welded at the front of the fly line for fast rigging to a leader.
BACK WELDED LOOP - A neat, bulletproof loop welded at the end of the fly line for fast rigging to backing.
