RIO InTouch OutBound Short - Intermediate
RIO
RIO’s InTouch OutBound Short series of lines are designed to cast large and heavy flies very long distances. Built with RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore Technology. A short, aggressive front taper easily carries large, weighted streamers, while the powerful head design loads rods deeply and efficiently for effortless casts. A full range of densities make this a very versatile line series. Each line features RIO’s XS Technology for super slick performance, and is built with a supple, coldwater coating that ensures the line remains tangle-free.
This is one of our preferred lines for beach fishing on Puget Sound.
This line is already over weighted for true "shooting head" performance. When choosing a line for your rod, select the line weight that matches your rod. I.e. an 8-weight rod would generally cast best with an 8 wt Outbound line.
With the introduction of the low-stretch InTouch core to the OutBound family of lines, the option of a "clear" intermediate is not available. All intermediate InTouch lines feature a gray-colored head instead of the clear head on past Outbound intermediate sinking lines.
