RIO Products Mainstream Series Saltwater Fly Line

Love this stuff, it's so smooth and was perfect for me fishing on the beach. I'll be buy this stuff again for whenever I get another saltwater fly rod set up.

This line has performed great. Unfortunately I have only been able to use it on one trip(finances). Throughout my trip, it was flawless. It stood up to every fish that wanted it. I highly recommend and it is a great price. Rio performs when you need it the most.

This line does not come with welded loops. Which is fine since l would have cut them off anyway and used a smoother connection. But it felt rough. I could hear it going through my guides. It felt sticky or grabby when shooting and stripping. I was disappointed. Then I applied some silicone from a line cleaning pad. All good after that. In fact I started liking the line a lot. Apparently, it does not come pre-conditioned. So you get what you pay for. It did pretty well for a warm water line in cold water. A little coiled at first, but straightened out easily. In warmer conditions it should be perfect. For the price, I give it 3.75 stars but you can only give full stars. If you want loops and/or pre-conditioned line, you can probably get that with a line that costs around $10 more.

I was able to shoot out further than I have ever cast before. I will be buying more for my other reels.

Unfortunately this is a horrible floating line (12wt) and very brittle. It literally broke each time I tied a knot to the leader. Very disappointed.

Great fly line , very durable , price is right ....I put this line on all my 4 salt water reels . this line will last, just rinse in warm water after every use .

purchased this line in 8wt to take to Belize to fish the flats as I needed a "tropical" rated line for the warmer waters there. I didn't wanna spend $100 on a premium tropical line as I would likely not use it much after this trip. The price for performance was a good balance, although there were times during the trip I had wished I ponied up for a better line. After fishing it for a while it would soften and then tangled fairly easily. A few times the slack line in the boat would knot from softening in the hot Belize sun. There were a couple of times I missed shots at fish from undoing tangles. It was a bit frustrating. It shoots fairly well though as long as you have good technique, and when the winds cooperated, I could shoot pretty much the entire line if needed. The winds on the flats in Belize however can often be brutal, and I found myself often wanting a bit heavier of a shooting head to punch through the wind better.In spite of the couple of performance downfalls on this line, I was able to land many bonefish throughout my trip, and even landed my first permit!Not a bad line for the price, but definitely better performing lines out there for tougher conditions. Will probably use this line for hitting local freshwater ponds this summer for bass and carp and will likely not have any issues for this purpose, but when I take another trip to the tropics, I will upgrade to a premium line.

WOW! got this for my tfo pro series 2 ...7wt and casts like a dream! loads the fast action rod like a charm and is smooth as silk. and just ordered an 8wt line for the other rods. love this line. ( and this is based on my first 2 casts!)update.. added the 8 wt line to an okuma crisium 7/8 wt rod and can cast to the backing with ease. line lands smooth and straight. just need rio to make this line in a 5 wt and a 6wt!

Es la segunda ocasión que adquiero esta línea económica; ya llevo más de 5 años con la primer linea (wf9f) y me ha resultado bastante buena, obvio, con sus respectivos cuidados, no sé ha deteriorado en lo más mínimo, ha pesar de ser de la gama económica, es una excelente línea de pesca, al menos para mi!

Matched with an Orvis Recon 8wt.It cast well in mildly windy conditions fishing on flats and lagoons in Belize. You can't go wrong for that price! (Paid 55$ or so)Caught bonefish, snappers, baby tarpon on #4-6-8 and even 1/0 flyes.
