Rio’s new LightLine ideally matches slower-action rods built from bamboo, fibreglass or classic graphite, as well as modern slow- and moderate-action rods. The short front taper, long body and extra-supple coating reduces coiling and yields a relaxed performance for shorter casts on smaller creeks. The rod is available in brown or ivory, and double-taper or weight-forward tapers, in weights 2 to 5.
