New Rio Line

Im going to admit. I have NOT tried the product I'm about to praise....but I'm very excited about it. Although its released for this season expect to see this line in most shops next year. Im pretty sure Rio has knocked this one out of the park for those of us who like high performance rods or have fast casting strokes.

One thing that Rio did not do with this line is reinvent the wheel. This line is built around the super popular and well loved Gold taper but they added a lot of the features you see in their newer lines like the "perception" which is my favorite offering up till now. 

Here is a blurb from the Rio website

Idaho Falls, Idaho (July 1, 2014) – RIO Products, industry-leading manufacturer of fly lines, leaders and tippet material, is proud to announce the launch of the new InTouch RIO Gold trout line – blending RIO’s best-selling line taper with award-winning technology.

The InTouch RIO Gold is based on RIO’s popular trout line, the RIO Gold but built on RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore for enhanced casting control, increased sensitivity and lightning fast hook sets. In addition, the line features RIO’s triple colored SureFire Technology; a line coloring system that helps anglers improve casting accuracy and distance control. With a long head and rear taper, the line allows for incredible loop stability at range while the weight distribution and unique front taper delivers ideal presentations when fishing with flies from size #2 to #22.

In addition to the above technical features, each line has an Easy ID Tag for quick line identification, MaxFloat Tip and MaxCast technologies for the ultimate in performance, and features rear and front welded loop for easy rigging. Available from WF4F through WF8F, this line retail for $89.95 and can be found at RIO dealers from August 1st
