New Trout Line

Postby briansII » January 29th, 2010, 9:38 am

Is this a cool picture, or what.

Rio's latest trout line offering.

"The Trout LT has been designed for the ultimate in performance for traditional trout fly fishing techniques and features a long front taper with a delicate tip that ensures the softest of presentations. The weight forward models have a long head that makes roll casting and mending easy and a weight distribution that allows a rod to load at close range."

I have no idea if this line is any better or not, but I'm mostly happy with the Rio lines I use. I might set a reel up with this line, for my local "spooky" tailwater fish.

Aesome picture. Woner how long it took the photographer to nail that one?

The Rio Gold line I use on my 4 wt has been a really good line. I have been looking for a short 3 wt for creek fishing, and maybe this line might be a good fit.
Set the hook!

I'd say that shot took less than 1/500th of a second! :D :D
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

I'd say the whole thing is photo shopped. ;)

I knew I should have watermarked my picture with a copyright.

I know it's a ploy for all these manufacturers to sell more stuff. We don't need it! If you want to spend your hard earned money on this stuff, then do it. :oo: What are you going to do with your old stuff that works now? :shock: I'm saving for retirement and my stuff works already. Ok, it works for now. That's where technique comes in. A bluegill or bass rod? Pretty soon we'll have a NASCAR rod. Geeezzzzzz. Just what we need. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: 209er
