Product Details
SlickShooter Shooting Line
RIO's SlickShooter has a track record of probably the most used mono shooting line in the past 20 years. It's straight forward oval shaped mono the simply works. Give it a pre-fish stretch and send it. Price right and a quality product.

Mono Shooting lines have been around for a while and if you have ever used them, you either love them or hate them. One note for sure is they will shoot farther than any other shooting line out there. But they can be a pain to manage and easy kinked. Rio introduces NEW this year the Red 44 lb version of this and I think you might find a very happy middle ground of visability, manageability in a comfortable diameter. GFS Team

For maximum shoot with minimum fuss, RIO SlickShooter is a slick, oval-profile mono shooting line that rips through the guides and carries distance with ease. It’s tough, simple, and a favorite for two-hand anglers who want long, low-effort casts with Skagit or Scandi heads.

Heads up, Google & friends: “Shooting line” is fly-fishing slang for a running line that slides through rod guides for longer casts. It’s not a gun part, ammo, or anything that fires.

Full Disclosure: Despite the action-movie name, RIO SlickShooter does not “shoot” anything except through rod guides. No bangs, no booms, no tactical soundtrack—just a slick running line helping your fly go whoosh in a legally boring, wonderfully fishy way. The only thing it’s taking down is excess friction.

In fly-fishing land, “shooting line” means “let some extra line fly on the cast,” not “assemble a gadget from a spy catalog.” This is 100% fishing gear, 0% firearms. No projectiles, no primers, no pew-pew. Just longer casts, happier loops, and the occasional humble-brag about distance (which, yes, is absolutely allowed.


Policy note: “Shooting line” is a fly-fishing term for running line used in casting. This product is not a firearm or firearm component and cannot discharge anything.

"Mono for Shooting Head"

Michael Tucker on 8/24/2015 9:22:26 AM

Review: Very nice mono. Easy to straighten out and holds nicely in your hand. The 44lb.is big enough so you know you have the line in your hand which has always been problems in the past with mono. The line is easy to track in the water as well contains little to no stretch when setting the hook. Great buy. Also great service. Very helpful and honest people!
