The RIO GRAND is a full line size heavier than the industry standard and features more weight distributed towards the front of the line to easily load faster action fly rods.
The line has a short head that is easy to cast, and is built with "MaxFloat Tip" technology, RIO's proprietary tip coating formula that floats more than twice as high as regular line tips, without any increase in diameter. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.
The slick coating also allows anglers to fish more effectively as line slides out of the guides with less friction for extended drag-free drifts. Additionally, SlickCast continuously releases essential slickening agents that migrate to the line’s surface. This ensures that the line remains as slick as the day it was made giving anglers many years of high performance and easy distance. As for durability, SlickCast’s proprietary formulation produces the toughest and most durable fly line coating in the world. Lab tests show that a line built with SlickCast lasts 140% longer in abrasion testing and lasts 33% longer when testing a fly line for cracking, that is one tough fly line.

I was looking for a good new line for my Loomis NRX LP 5wt.
I wanted a head length that wasn?t too long,so I could use it as a shooting head on lakes.
A short front taper for rivers and I wanted the 1st 30 feet to weigh around 140 grains (true 5wt)
The Grand range are sized one size heavy,so this WF4F gives me the perfect 5wt I wanted!
Add to all this,the stunning new ?Slick cast? coating and its a great new line for my LP rod.
I got my choice spot on,it does it all very well!
