四十の手習い フライフィッシング修行中

RIO is pleased to be able to provide this line recommendation for a number of two handed rods on the market. You will notice two line ratings per line. The "A" rating is for more experienced casters, or for casters that like to cast off the tip of the rod. The "B" rating is for less experienced casters, and for casters that like to feel a deeper load in the rod. It is also a good choice for coping with tough winds, or using larger flies.

The "Skagit" column refers to either the Skagit Max, Max Short, Max Long or iFlight shooting heads. With any of the Skagit lines a front tip needs to be added, as well as a shooting line. When a tip is added, the overall weight of the line will increase by the weight of the tip. That weight increase has been allowed for in these recommendations. Do not subtract the weight of the tip you are putting on from these grain weights, unless you are only going to overhead cast it.

With the popularity of two handed rods growing for overhead casting in the surf, on a lake and even in a river, the column "OutBound" is listed and this applies to the correct weight of OutBound Shooting Head,OutBound or OutBound Short required to load the rod for overhead casting only - a weight that is less than what is needed for spey casting.

Finally, these recommendations are only guidelines as to the correct line weight to be used. RIO Products is not responsible for any rod breakages or if you find the line does not load as you would wish. How a rod loads is a personal feeling and these recommendations are only a guideline.

With the plethora of lines available it is impossible to have a column that separates Skagit Max from Skagit Max Shorts and iFlights, and OutBound lines from OutBound Shorts, and OutBound Short Shooting Heads. The simplest guideline is if the rod is less than 12' 6" long, choose the "Short" version of these lines.
