Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This fly line is an integrated body and requires the addition of appropriate RIO MDC, MOW, or T-Tips for full functionality. Select a tip that matches the water conditions and your desired fly depth and presentation. Attach the tip securely to the front of the integrated body using a strong knot, such as a blood knot or surgeon's knot. Ensure the loop-to-loop connection, if used, is tight and secure.
Compatibility:
Designed for use with modern double-handed rods and switch rods. The line's taper and weight distribution are optimized for these rod types. Ensure your rod is rated to handle the line's grain weight for optimal performance.
Care:
To maintain the line's performance and longevity:
- Clean Regularly: After each use, rinse the line with fresh water to remove dirt, salt, and grime. Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth if necessary.
- Dry Properly: Allow the line to air dry completely before storing. Do not leave it coiled in direct sunlight or heat.
- Store Carefully: Store the line loosely coiled in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a breathable line bag. Avoid sharp folds or kinks.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the line for nicks, abrasions, or delamination, especially at the density changes and the connection points for tips.
