Rio Elite Flats Pro Floating Fly Line Aqua/Orange/Sand

The RIO Elite Flats Pro is the ultimate tropical floating fly line, purpose-built for serious saltwater anglers targeting bonefish, permit, and tarpon on the flats. Designed to perform flawlessly in extreme heat, this line excels in temperatures from 24°C to 38°C, delivering smooth casting, precise presentations, and rock-solid hook sets.

Built on RIO’s low-stretch DirectCore, the Flats Pro offers exceptional sensitivity and powerful strip sets, while remaining easy to anneal and laying perfectly straight on the water.
