![]() ![]() With the Freshwater version, cold is no problem (there is a coldwater saltwater line, but not currently in Type 3) and RIO’s slick XS technology makes it cast very, very nicely. The Type 3’s 30ft sinking head has a moderate descent rate (3-4 inches per second) and leads to an intermediate running line, giving me a non-hinging and easily controllable natural sink, perfect for the slower rivers and intercoastal tides that I will be prospecting in. Just as I started my search for a new line, RIO came through with the Outbound Short Type 3 and it hit my sweet spot. We get that, but we’re here to tell you that our experts have a detailed. However, you have some apprehensions when it comes to ordering gear online. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t be seeing the warm side of 70 for a while and the cool coiling Tropical just wouldn’t cut it.

With the temperatures in the low 70s, the line stiffened up and coiled like a slinky, giving us a frustrating hour or so before the sun really got going. ![]() The 9 wt 375 grain intermediate I had worked like a charm in both the surf and offshore – except that one morning when things got chilly. The RIO Shorts are built with short, 30 foot, aggressive front tapers to load fast and get big flies to big fish as quickly as possible. Last spring I spent a week in the Baja, chasing roosters up and down the beach, and was impressed with the RIO Tropical Outbound Short that I had carried along. ![]() No waterhauls or lead ropes draped across the boat. No new clouser earrings today, thank you very much. Down.īut I don’t want to be chuckin’ and duckin’. Down into the deep intercoastal holes where the specs love to congregate.
