The RIO Grand is the best choice of line for the modern, fast action fly rod.
The RIO Grand is a full line size heavier than the industry standard, and features more weight distributed towards the front of the line to easily load faster action fly rods. Built with a short head that is easy to cast, this line is also an excellent choice for novice casters who need a little more feel when casting.
We have enhanced the performance of this great trout line by building it with SlickCast - RIO's proprietary coating technology. SlickCast creates the slickest, most durable fly lines on the market. Lab tests show that lines built with SlickCast have the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line. In addition, the line features MaxFloat Tip Technology, RIO's proprietary tip coating formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter.
- A full line size heavier to easily load fast rods
- Front loaded, short head
- Built with RIO's exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast
- Made with a supple, coldwater core and coating

Rear/Fore Grip Handle Material
cork
A Classic look and feel. We use only the highest grade of cork when making our custom rods. This is the standard option, and our most popular.
Duracork
Duracork is an inorganic material that will not dry-rot or deteriorate. It is incredibly durable, and slightly lighter then regular cork. It has a rough texture, but smooths out after use.
