New for 2020, RIO 2-Tone Indicator Tippet in Black/White. Also available in Pink/Yellow

Tie in as a straight indicator tippet or use it to build "slinky" sighters. Available in 1x to 6x.

New for 2020: RIO Euro Nymph Shorty

ULTRA-THIN, SUPER-SENSITIVE FLY LINE, designed for converting a regular fly line into a Euro Nymph line

The line is deliberately made short (20 feet) so it can be added to the front end of a regular fly line utilizing the thin welded loop on each end.

The idea is that anglers can fish their normal fly fishing style with their regular trout line, and when they come to a run they want to fish Euro nymph style, they simply loop the Shorty on and start nymphing. RIO FIPS Euro Nymph Fly Line

The Euro Nymph Line was designed by Steve Parrott to satisfy the need for a one size fits all European style Nymphing line that is competition legal. The line is built on a thin diameter, low stretch, supple core to maximize sensitivity and allow for lightning fast hook sets, while a highly visible tip helps anglers detect the slightest of strikes. This line is designed specifically for European style nymphing techniques, such as "French”, "Czech”, "Polish”, and "Spanish” styles.
