Description / RIO GripShooter Shooting Line
The Gripshooter is a hybrid of a standard fly line type running line and the far shooting, yet awkward to handle at times nylon alternative. This unique new shooting line from RIO, combines the best of both worlds, without any of the disadvantages.
Based on the slim nylon SlickShooter, but with a thick, coated handling section similar to a fly line that makes it very easy to grip in cold conditions. The thin nylon shooting line gives casters maximum distance, is light enough to hold off the water at range and allows anglers great control of their head and fly far out in the swing.
Another winning advantage is that the fly line style front end section allows RIO to fit a neat little 8 inch welded loop, removing the concern of how to join your nylon running line to the shooting head.
Available in 3 different breaking strains:
25lb in Blue/Hot Orange colour
35lb in Green/Orange colour
44lb in Red/Orange colour
50lb in Yellow/Orange colour
Thick, highly visible handling section for grip, durability and visibility
Super hard, ultra slick coated nylon shooting line

The Gripshooter is an excellent running line. The 14’ handling line is easy to use. Getting more distance now.

Too thin
Review by
Tim
The grippy part of this line is great - highly visible and easy to hold on to when casting. The main running line however is ridiculously thin, stretchy and absolutely not what you want to be pulling through fast water in the cold (red/blue 15lb variant). It twists and tangles and catches in everything. I’ve had more user-friendly guitar strings. Frustrating and gimmicky.

Excellent for distance
Review by
James
This is my second Gripshooter shooting line, I'm a big fan of the way the combine an easy-to-handle front section and thin, memory-free nylon. Greater distance is more easily achieved than with a coated running line and, unlike some mono shooting-lines, there is no worry about coils getting tangled.

Brilliant
Review by
Phil
Further to my earlier comments, I've now fished with this four times. It is absolutely brilliant! Really slick with low "hold" in the water. Adds yards I agree. But also low risk of tangles - very few despite deep wading. A bit awkward, knots get small and tight easily, need a bit of effort to undo them. But overall a superb product and really much better than the line I replaced.

Excellent service as usual
Review by
Phil
Product is interesting. I had thought I was ordering the Connectcore (I think!) that I've had before. But the slick surface of this line is very nice, and I suspect it'll be more tangle free, as it's a little stiffer. And with the grippy bit at the front, it shouldn't shoot through my fingers on the cast - except when I let go!
