A surprising number of GLers like that RIO S/AS line as it'll turnover
heavy tips and it's long 65' belly packs a lot of grains for an
overhead WF (I'm guessing at 600 for my WF-10-F). There's no problem
finding the sweet spot on it. It won't blow long casts like a real
spey line (front taper is too blunt and short -- the rest of the belly
is too light) but it is tractable over a broad range of shorter casts.
Too bad it isn't made anymore.


Are you sure ? It's in the latest catalog.
GLers should like it because it casts far
enough for most of the steelhead streams we
fish, since most are in the 18-Mile Creek
class. And with a rod like the Loop, which
has oversized guides, you can shoot the line
somewhat if you need to get it out a bit
further.



Must still be available then -- somebody on the Speyclave said it was
discontinued. That's good then -- it's a very nice line and it works
great for ordinary nymphing.
