Traveling cross-country every year in search of Florida tarpon and West Coast steelhead, Jim Vincent learned the true meaning of life: It's too short for using lousy fly lines and leaders! The truth is, being exposed to so many different fishing conditions, guides, and anglers, Jim came to understand there was a need for specialty fly lines, leaders and tippets for differing fishing conditions. After 10 years of travel, he started his company. With the help of his field staff of guides, captains and anglers like you, Jim tested and retested every product before releasing it to the public. He wanted it to be right the first time. RIO makes the perfect tippet for trout, steelhead, salmon, the saltwater flats and blue water big game with accurate turnovers and high tensile strength. Now all you have to do is add the fish!
