RIO Fly Lines & Backing

RIO Products have been in existence for only 10 years yet in that time RIO fly lines, tippets and leaders have become a major international brand.

The reason that Jim Vincent and his team at RIO have achieved such rapid growth is that at RIO they never stop fishing, experimenting and "tweaking" their products. They are not content just to develop products solely in the lab. Instead they field test and get fishing guides to field test hundreds of prototypes of new products before they are satisfied that they have the products right.

RIO use fishing experience and their high tech production facility to develop fly lines that they believe have the best tapers, slickest coatings and greatest line durability's available.
