RIO Elite Predator Fly Line

The RIO Elite Predator Fly Line is the definitive choice for anglers who need to cast large, heavy, and wind-resistant flies. Whether you're targeting aggressive trout, bass, pike, or musky, this line is specifically designed to deliver bulky flies with a seamless blend of power and precision. Built with a specialised short, powerful front taper and a full suite of RIO’s most advanced technologies, the Predator line is the ultimate tool for pursuing your next big fish.

The Predator line features a short, powerful front taper with plenty of weight at the front. This design ensures that the line has no problem casting the biggest and heaviest of flies with ease, effortlessly turning them over and punching them through the wind.

The Predator series provides complete coverage for every fishing situation. With four different density lines, you can perfectly match your line to your fishing depth and technique:

Full Floating (F): Ideal for topwater action with poppers.

Floating with Hover/Intermediate Tip (F/H/I): For fishing in the top 2-3 feet, with a slow, controlled sink.

Floating with Intermediate/Sinking Tip (F/I/S3): Perfect for fishing mid-water with a medium sink rate.

Floating with Fast/Extra-Fast Tip (F/S5/S7): Designed for getting down deep and fast to target fish in the depths.

Each line is built on RIO’s revolutionary low-stretch ConnectCore Plus for maximum performance and sensitivity. This core provides enhanced detection of takes and more positive hook sets, while also giving you greater control when playing a fish.

The Predator line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market. This technology produces the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line, ensuring your line shoots through the guides with minimal effort for maximum casting distance.

The line features RIO’s SureFire tricolored measuring system, which makes it easy to gauge casting distance with a quick glance, ensuring increased accuracy and control on every cast.
