RIO GOLD IN TOUCH FLY LINE FULL

The In Touch RIO Grand fly line earns Dry Fly status. The line retails for about $89.īDF uses a three tiered gear rating system for gear reviews. The coating is very slick, and the weight of the line felt perfect for a fast action rod. This fly line is very impressive, and I would recommend it. I was able to cast this line into tight spots landed quite a few trout on the dry fly. On one occasion, the trout started looking up, and I spent an afternoon fishing a size 14 parachute adams using this fly line. It’s a great mid-weight line, and its a true line size fly line meaning that it weighs in at an actual 5 weight for example, rather than a 5 1/2 weight like. I cast streamers and heavy flies with ease during the time on the water. RIO Gold This is the best all around trout line in my opinion It will fish streamers, indicator rigs, and will lay down a dry delicately at 45 feet. Hook sets also seemed to be better.while impossible to truly quantify, it seemed as though I lost fewer fish on the hook set, which would be due to the low/no stretch core.Ĭolor different between the body and running line. Time spent with this line verified these claims as accurate, as I noticed that the line seemed more 'connected' to the rod and the reel. Rio says that this line contains an ultra-low stretch core for easier line lift, more precise mends, and better cast timing. Where typical fly lines will stretch about 30 of their total length, the new lineup of InTouch flylines have dramatically reduced the amount of stretch in the line through ConnectCore technology.

The In Touch RIO Grand line is one full line size heavier than the industry standard, which I really appreciated in my fast action rod. The long head of the RIO InTouch Gold Fly Line provides excellent loop control at long distances whether youre casting size eight salmon flies or size 20 midges. I was able to get more distance, and more accuracy by noting the different sections of the line as they flew through the guides. While casting the line at distance on the Gunnison, I found it extremely helpful to note the different colors when loading the rod. This intrigued me, since I am a 'feel' caster, and not very technical. This fly line uses different colors to indicate the different parts of the line, including the front taper, the body, and the running line. There are two loop connectors on each end, and the colors are bright and visible.

The line has several features that I liked immediately. I was looking for a line to use for this year's trip, and discovered the RIO In Touch RIO Grand WF6. When I fish a fast action rod, I like to use a fly line that is a bit heavier so that I can load the rod to take advantage of it's capabilities. This requires that I get my fast action Sage VPX 6 weight out of the bag when fishing big water in pursuit of the large trout and salmon. The primary objective of the annual Gunnison trip is to catch big fish.
