RIO Elite Tropical Outbound Short Fly Line

The RIO Elite Tropical Outbound Short Fly Line is an ultra-powerful, easy-casting line built for one purpose: delivering big flies to big fish in hot, demanding climates. Designed to perform in tropical conditions, this line combines a short, aggressive taper with RIO's most advanced technologies to provide an unparalleled blend of power, sensitivity, and effortless performance.

Ultra-Powerful, Easy Casting Design: The Outbound Short is significantly heavier than standard fly lines, with a unique, front-loaded weight distribution. This powerful head design loads rods deeply and efficiently, allowing you to cast large, weighted flies very long distances with ease. Its short head length makes it incredibly easy to cast and handle, even when you have limited back casting space.

Low-Stretch DirectCore: This line is built on RIO’s revolutionary low-stretch DirectCore, which is designed to lie perfectly straight on the water and retain the stiffness needed for casting in hot climates. The core provides incredible sensitivity, allowing you to detect subtle takes and deliver hard, solid strip sets that are crucial for saltwater hook-ups.

SlickCast for Unmatched Performance: The Tropical Outbound Short 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, resulting in exceptionally long casts.

Versatile Multi Density Control: A key feature of this versatile line series is its Multi Density Control system. This allows the angler to cover the water column from top to bottom, making it an ideal line for a variety of tropical fishing situations, from casting topwater poppers to getting flies down deep to target submerged fish.
