Rio Elite Smallmouth Bass Fly Line

Target wary smallmouth with surgical precision using the RIO Elite Smallmouth Bass Fly Line. Specifically engineered for warmwater anglers, this floating weight-forward line features a powerful front taper designed to effortlessly punch heavy Clouser Minnows, poppers, and bulky bass bugs through wind and onto target.

Built on RIO's ultra-low stretch DirectCore, this line provides maximum hook-setting efficiency and immediate feedback during long-line strip sets. The extended handling section gives you ultimate mend control and stability at distance, while RIO's SureFire tri-color measuring system offers instant distance feedback. Finished with a specialized coating that stays slick in summer heat yet stays pliable during cool spring and fall conditions, the Elite Smallmouth is the ultimate line for river and lake bass applications.
