Brookies Rule. Posted August 2, 2016. Rio Gold is a standard weight fly line. The Rio Grand is 1/2 weight heavier. Example a 5 wt. Grand is considered a 5 1/2 weight line where as the 5 weight Gold is considered a true 5wt. line. Some who have a FAST FLY ROD may prefer a Grand line to slow the action down a little. 1.

I got a new 9wt reel for my road and I need to put some good line on it. I plan to use this rod and reel when I go steelhead fishing in the fall to NY. I also plan to use it for what ever else I need a big rod for. My problem is finding a good all around floating line for it. I've seen the Rio st...
Penobscot Bay is a beautiful area and to know that one can catch quality stripers makes it that much more desirable. Im excited to travel back to the area and explore more of the seemingly endless amounts of coastline between the mainland and islands that make up the Bay. Gear. Sage Motive 9wt. Redington Grande 7-8-9 Reel.
I have a rio switch chucker at 570 grains in a 25 ft head on my 8 wt 11 ft switch. This is the rod I am thinking about trying for stripers. I remember Alan writing up a post about using straight t17 attached to a running line for overhead casting in the surf.
I seem to struggle with choosing a good flyline. I am refering to a good floating line. I purchased Cortland's 555 last summer and found it to be useless this spring. It kinks up bad, apparently this is not a good coldweather line. Would welcome any suggestions for spring and summer fishing.JayL
Posted November 20, 2016. I've had good luck with Prestige or Scientific Angler for floating line Wt forward is easier for beginners. I use the fastest sinking Cortland line i could find and like that. It's rated a 5 I think. Use that for deep ponds and 4-5' streams with faster moving water.
RIO's Switch line is the ultimate all-round line for the switch rod. A unique taper allows casters to either overhead, or spey cast according to skill and fishing application. The line will easily cast heavy nymph and indicator rigs, and with its long head, allows anglers to mend and control the way the fly fishes at distance.
I use the Rio striper leaders when I'm worried about presentation (flats and quiet areas) and 3-4'ish of straight 16# mono when I'm somewhere where it matters less (surf). I'm sure tapered leaders don't make much or any difference, but when I'm fishing a glassy flat I don't want to take the chance otherwise usually.
I picked up a pair of G3's last year. The more I wear them the wading belt seems to be poorly designed. The belt itself is like any belt you would find on much cheaper waders.
