Description
AN INCREDIBLY SLOW SINKING LINE, BUILT AN RIO'S ULTRA-LOW STRETCH CONNECTCORE FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
Features:
- ULTRA-LOW STRETCH CONNECTCORE FOR THE ULTIMATE IN SENSITIVITY AND LIGHTNING FAST HOOK SETS
- HANG MARKER HELPS INDICATE WHEN TO CAST
- INCREDIBLY SLOW SINK RATE TO FISH JUST BELOW THE SURFACE - GREAT ON WINDY DAYS
RIO’s InTouch Hover lines are built on an ultra-low stretch core for incredible sensitivity to the take and lightning-fast hook sets. The line sinks at less than 1’ per second and is a fantastic line for fishing just under the surface, particularly on wind days when a floating line is difficult to control. The line is built with a "hang marker" approximately 13ft from the front end for fishing the hang, or judging when to make the cast, and also includes a welded loop on the front end for fast rigging.

Technologies:
ConnectCore
When you rely on touch to know what’s going on in the depths, line stretch is the enemy.
Our ConnectCore lines open up new worlds of perception and sensitivity with ultra-low stretch performance. Soft, subtle takes become positive grabs, and without stretch to dull reaction times, hook sets are instant and sure. ConnectCore. The secret weapon for success.
Extreme Slickness:
Every fly fisherman is looking for a slicker line, and for good reason. Slicker line means longer casts, which is something all anglers strive to achieve. XS Technology is the latest development from RIO's lab coats that focuses on creating an ultra slick line, with dirt-repelling tendencies.
XS (Extreme Slickness) Technology began when RIO's chemists began reformulating conventional chemical combinations. Although RIO's formulas were great, our scientists are fly fishers, and by definition they want an even slicker fly line - it's just part of the deal. So first, they tackled the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating and through intense scrutiny down to the polymeric mix level, (say that 10 times fast) they defined some fundamental limitations. Out went the old PVC/silicone formulas and by methodically adding a little more of this, a little less of that, and a pinch of secret sauce, the lab coats cooked up a completely new and improved recipe. With XS Technology, RIO has developed a fly line that is slicker, more stable, and far less apt to attract dirt, and paired with AgentX Technology, it engineers a line that is less dense, casts further and more accurately, floats higher, lasts longer, and offers more consistent performance cast after cast, strike after strike, fish after fish.
