ConnectCore Shooting Line
New for 2014. An incredibly sensitive shooting line with fantastic no-tangle performance - the best shooting line ever made

RIO’s new ConnectCore, shooting line is the very best coated shooting line on the market with tremendous assets for the Spey fly fisher. Built on RIO’s ConnectCore the shooting line has virtually no stretch, allowing anglers to stay perfectly in touch with their fly throughout the swing and feel every slight touch. A thicker diameter handling section prolongs the life of the line and ensures it is very easy to grip the line in cold conditions, while the highly visible front section makes it very easy to see when to stop stripping and make the cast. The unique core also ensures the most perfect coils of line when stripping in – resulting in far few tangles and snarls. A neat 8” welded loop at the front end allows for fast and efficient head changes, while the super slick XS Technology coating floats high and shoots far.
