RIO PRODUCTS Elite Flats Pro Saltwater Fly Line – Float 9wt, 1.5ips, 2/0–8

RIO PRODUCTS Elite Flats Pro Saltwater Fly Line: Smooth Presentations on Tropical Flats

RIO's Elite Flats Pro is built for tropical saltwater environments and flats fishing. With a mid-length head and long back taper, this line delivers smooth, effortless loops and precise presentations for a wide range of flies.

Key features blend performance and durability so you can focus on the moment on the water. The line uses DirectCore low-stretch technology to reduce memory and allow it to lie cleanly on the water, while SlickCast coating minimizes friction for longer casts and a smoother line life. Front and back welded loops enable quick rigging to leaders or backing, while Surefire triple color line markings and Easyrid printed markings help gauge distance and line load at a glance.

Field-ready benefits and possibilities include precise distance control on flats, easy loading for quick casts into wind, and reliable float performance across color options. The line is available in Clear, Aqua, Orange, and Sand, and is built to perform in tropical saltwater conditions with lines designed for bonefish, permit, tarpon, or big baitfish patterns.
