While fishing the Bitterroot last month, I purchased the RIO Classic in a
DT5F, I have only fished it 4 days, however was happy with the line.



Thanks JT, ZapAGap is what I've used too... similar technique


I like my Rio ... except that it seems to have a rough finish that collects
dirt quickly ... when clean and freshly treated it suits me fine

I spent some time looking on line mfg websites today ... the hype is so
thick it slowed download time noticably, sticking in the webpipes ... you
can now get "5wt" lines that "weigh more" ( doh, ain't it the weight of 30
feet that makes it a 5wt ) and 1/2 size lines, clear tip lines ( Mr Fish
can see a size 28 midge that is so clear you can see it's innards, but NO!
he can't see our miraclewonderline :-) and lots of other silliness ...
I make a point of supporting people that "support" me ... I'll just wait and
buy whatever line is suggested by a shop owner I "owe one" .... but other
people's opinions are always interesting


Hum, my Rio has a loop ... did you cut that off and use a nail-knot? I
like the loop-to-loop thing more than I dislike it ( everything having both
good and bad points )
