When casting a fly line, slickness is often the name of the game, with dirt, grime, sand and sunscreen all conspiring to slow down your line. Rio Products is hoping their new Extreme Slickness (XS) Technology will help offset these factors and keep your line flying through the guides when necessary.

The big difference with Rio’s new XT material is that the PVC coating is applied prior to curing, not after, so the “slickness factor” goes right down to the core and isn’t just a coating that can wear off or be rubbed off.

The new technology will be used in Rio’s full line of premier freshwater and saltwater lines.
