Another great new innovation is the RIO iFlight/iShort– a casting head with a floating back portion and an Intermediate front section. You add your favorite sinking tip. This line will do a great job of getting the fly down quickly and will help keep it there throughout the swing. It will also be a real help in mending as the Intermediate section will help “hold” the sunken tip of the line in position as the floating line is moved back upstream.
It all adds up to the fact that we now have the most complete series of lines ever created for big rivers and big sea run rainbows. How important is this? I would be the first to admit that perhaps fly fishing for sea run rainbows is not always the most important thing in life, but it sometimes it feels that way, and when it does and you need the “perfect piece of string” for your choice of rivers, rods, flies, rain jackets, boots, hats and waders etc, just go to http://www.rioproducts.com/. The line you are looking for will be there
