RIO Elite Xtreme Indicator Fly Line is built for anglers who spend real time under an indicator and want a line that makes the system easier to fish. Indicator rigs create their own problems: weight, wind resistance, and the need to constantly manage line on the water. A general-purpose trout taper can work, but a dedicated indicator line tends to feel more stable and predictable when you are turning over larger flies, split shot, and bigger indicators.
Where this line earns its keep is in control. It is designed to help you roll cast and reposition efficiently, keep the line floating high for cleaner mends, and maintain better drift management across seams and varying currents. If you fish heavier nymph rigs, switch between short and longer leaders, or spend time on bigger rivers where mending is non-negotiable, a purpose-built taper helps you stay in rhythm and fish the run more effectively.
This is a strong choice for anglers who want an indicator setup that turns over confidently, mends cleanly, and supports consistent drifts without feeling like a compromise.
Description
The Xtreme Indicator line has been designed to be a very effective tool for anglers that fish nymphs and indicators out of a boat. The short head has a powerful front taper that casts indicator rigs with ease, and loads up with a single cast. Built with RIO’s low-stretch ConnectCore Plus, the line allows for intuitively better cast timing, easier line lifts and sharp, precise mends. Lack of stretch also means faster reaction time when setting the hook.
