How is a fly line made? - RIO Products' Making the Fly Line

Ever wondered how a fly line is made? With great pride, RIO has opened its tightly controlled doors and produced a short film on just how a fly line is made.

I´m from Brazil, here our fly lines are pushed to their limits because of the hot climate and big fishes that go to the submerged stones and branches... And I use RIO products with excellent results. Thanks.

We have just changed the printing system to include sink rate and weight on all tips now, so you will see that trickle through the system. Thanks RIO

Well since my comment, over 7 months ago I have in fact went out and tried Rio fly lines. I tested them on a few different categories. To be 100% honest with you the only damage the Airflo line did was to the Rio fly line that I tested it against. The Airflo line out performed the Rio line in every category I guess that's why Airflo is the number 1 best seller of fly line in the world.. Thanks for responding to my comment so fast, 7 months goes by so fast and a lot happened in that time.

You know your lines! We only just released the Perception line 8 days ago!! Both the Gold and the Perception are very versatile lines. The Gold has a long head of about 15 metres, whereas the Perception has a shorter head of about 11 metres. It is also the only floating trout line we make on the ultra-low stretch ConncetCore, which creates a really nice fishing and casting line. Thanks for your interest. RIO

I love my Rio Lines! I even won a free one at The Fiberglass Manifesto and when Rio sent it out to me they didn't skimp a bit! Gold baby.. Rio Gold.. and Grand for my meat sticks haha.

Nice to know you have good taste, Craig!

Andrew That part is proprietary information, sadly, so we could not show it in the film. Simply, though, the liquid is thick enough not to run when it is deposited on to the moving core. It enters the orifice that scrapes the line to the required diameter, and then immediately enters the curing over that sets it. This probably won't make sense to you, but is about all we can pass on. Thanks RIO

The script of this video was narrated so well that I would buy this fishing line and I don't even go fishing
