, from Columbus, OH, USA Summary:
I like this line a lot. It has held up for me (something I cannot say for the Orvis lines). Its taper is very subtle in it's presentation. The line turns over marvelously.(A note on that: I had to experiment to find the right leader. Use an epoxy splice to the butt section because a loop is too much weight for the 1 wt. line. Secondly, a leader with a butt section about.019' turns over much better than a thicker one. I like the 9' 6x Maxima leader for this line). This line realy completes my light line outfit, and I would recomend it to anyone for a similar purpose. Strengths:
I got the camo green double taper 1 wt. line. It turns over beautifuly. The green is almost a dark olive color; its quite stealthy for skitish trout. The taper is perfect fore slower rods (I have it on the Orvis superfine 1 wt,). Weaknesses:
None that I have found. I have only had it for 6 months... durability? It seems to be holding up so far. Customer Service:
I have not needed to use their customer service to replace anything. They were, however, very willing to help over the phone on the issue of finding the right leader for such a light line. Similar Products Used:
Orvis Hy-Flote and Wonderline

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CLASSIC DOUBLE TAPER FLY LINE FROM RIO I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANY THING ELSE. I ONLY BUY THERE LEADERS AND TIPPETS NOW ALSO. RIO REALLY IS A HIGH QUALITY MANUFACTURER, AND I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER CHANGE Strengths:
THIS FLY LINE IS VERY DURABLE. IT FLOATS HIGH ON THE WATER, AND CASTS EXTREMELY WELL. RIO IS A HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT Weaknesses:
I WISH IT CAME WITH ITS OWN LINE CLEANER( LIKE CORTLAND). I ALSO WOULD LIKE IT IF IT CAME WITH A LOOP CONNECTOR( ELIMINATE ALL OF THOSE KNOTS) Customer Service:
I REALLY DON'T . I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS Similar Products Used:
I HAVE CORTLAND 444SL DOUBLE TAPER. BUT FOR ME AND MY FISHING I HAVE CHANGED OVER TO RIO.
