* Specified Outbound fly lines will be named as suitable for cold/temperate or tropical conditions. * Multifilament core lines are low stretch (4-6%) * Lines with a multifilament core may be weldable. * Mono Core lines (clear tips or heads) are not practically weldable by the consumer. I find it practically * impossible to differentiate among any of these sink rates. * Most of the Intermediate lines are stated as having a 1.5 – 2.5 IPS sink rate. * Lines come with welded loop – front and rear. General features of RIO Outbound fly lines Note also that these are all lines that I consider “integrated shooting head” fly lines. Note that I’ve included the Coastal Quickshooter fly lines and the Direct Core Flats Pro line because as far as I’m concerned these are very similar variants of the Outbound. The purpose of this blog post is to distinguish the various outbound lines RIO offers and hopefully clarify the key differences among lines that all have “Outbound” in their title. Most of the lines I fish are Intermediate sink rate lines but I will occasionally fish full floaters and sink 3 or sink 6 lines. The fact remains that my head tells me the lines have improved, but for practical purposes, I had no complaints regarding the performance of the lines back in 2005, so, with the exception of adding the loops and the line labels and the low stretch core, I guess my satisfaction regarding the performance of the lines has remained strong over the decade I’ve fished Outbounds. I have been partial to fishing RIO’s Outbound fly lines since 2005 and have seen these lines evolve and improve over time.
