RIO

RIO’s Hard Mono Saltwater Tippet is ultra-hard with high abrasion resistance. Perfect for large flies and strong wind. Available in regular and guide spools.

A bulk spool of medium stiff nylon that is ideal for butt sections. Three sizes to cover all fly line options. 

RIO’S Powerflex Plus Tippet is the strongest nylon tippet material ever made, with tensile strengths up to 20% more than regular tippet.

The Pike/Musky leader is designed for pike, musky, and similar toothy species. The ultra-stiff nylon leader is attached to a bite-resistant wire. Two wire choices are available.

RIO's Fluoroflex steelhead/salmon leaders are made of 100% fluorocarbon, and are the perfect solution for when a nearly invisible presentation is required in low, clear rivers and for spooky summer-run fish.

RIO’s Steelhead/Salmond Leaders are very strong and abrasion resistant, tapered to turn over large flies and handle strong winds. Perfect for all Spey rods and lines, as well as single handed fishing for steel head and salmon.

RIO’S TAPERED TARPON LEADER has been designed for the ultimate in performance when tarpon fishing, with a fully tapered leader running down to the shock tippet, which gives far better turnover and presentation than level ones.

The RIO Bonefish leaders are made with the traits needed by a bonefish angler. The medium-stiff nylon with a powerful taper allows bonefish flies to turn over with ease, while coping with strong winds.

RIO’S BIG NASTY TIPPET is designed to cast large, heavy or air resistant flies. The tippet is made of a medium stiff nylon that easily turn over streamers, big terrestrials (like hoppers and stoneflies), and cope with tough winds.

The RIO Suppleflex Tippet is incredibly strong, with excellent knot strength and, as its name suggests, unbelievably soft and supple. A featherweight presentation does not impede the natural movement of a fly in the current.
