RIO Products Ambassador Series – Blitz Line

Description

Deliver big flies quickly to powerful, fast-moving fish with wind-cutting efficiency and minimal false casts

• Unique 26-foot short head taper keeps false caststo a minimum
• Extended handling section for greater accuracyon long casts and easier pickups on second shots
• Multi-Density Control maintains a straight line connection to fly

The Blitz lines short, 26-foot head enables the fastest possible delivery and easy shooting. An extended handling section behind the head allows the angler to carry more line for greater accuracy on long cast and easier pickups for second shots. The idea was inspired by chasing albies in the mid-Atlantic, but the Blitz line will be right at home in any fishery where speed counts in order to get a fly in front of fast-moving, feeding fish.

Blitzes are brief surface feeding chaos and the RIO Blitz Line is like using the drive through window at a fast food joint. The short, heavy head loads the rod quickly, so the fly gets delivered with minimal false casting and an improved thicker running line makes retrieving and recasting a dream. The Blitz Line is not some one trick pony. It can deliver big nasty flies into tight cover or reach out with long probing casts. This taper and running line setup is also good for beginning casters, because the rod loads easily with less false casting.
