Rio Summer Redfish Fly Line

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   I think the Rio Redfish taper line is outstanding. I have it on my 7,8,and 9 weights. The line casts really well in close and turns over a long leader at distance. The head is fairly short at just under 40′ but it isn’t designed like a typical shooting head where the mass of the line increases from the rear to the front. The Redfish line weighted more heavily toward the rear of the head and the taper steps down towards the front. So what you get is a shooting head that shoots line as you’d expect with a softer front taper that turns over long leaders and lays them down softly. I’ve also used this line to fish for carp and bass. It lays down softly and loads close for the carp. For the bass it has enough mass to push a deer hair popper and it always turns the thing over. The line doesn’t go soft in serious heat either. Awesome line, easy casting, easy shooting, and really nice in close and at distance. Pairs exceptionally with the Sage One, Scott S4S, and the Scott A4
