The RIO Premier Tarpon is a line specially designed for tarpon fishing, combining power, precision and delicate presentation. It features a mid-length head with a short, powerful front taper, ideal for propelling typical tarpon flies (shrimps, crabs, streamers) in windy conditions or at long range.
The profile is designed to load powerful rods quickly while allowing precise casts in front of wary fish. This is a line that excels on tropical flats, where every casting opportunity counts.
