A weight forward floating design made specifically for the casting demands of steelhead and Atlantic salmon fly fishing. The long belly and long back taper were developed for long controlled mends, roll casting and single handed spey casting. A bullet front taper turns over bombers and other large flies with ease. This line works well with a greased line or waking fly technique. RIO's state of the art technology allows them to make a very long rear taper for mending and adds weight in order to load the rod for casting performance. With Agent X, it's easy for the angler to lift line off the water to make extremely long casts and mends.To view taper click on photo.
