Tackle Week 2020: The year’s best new fly-fishing gear

Best Line

FATHOM CLEANSWEEP SINKING LINES

Rio has turned its product designers loose on sinking lines, and the result is a line with a clear, intermediate-sinking front, a faster-sinking body and a slower-sinking running line. During the retrieve, this configuration causes the fly to sweep down deep from the surface, then back up again, allowing you cover a variety of depths with each cast. Fathom Cleansweep comes in line sizes 5 to 8, as well as three different sink rates.
