He breaks down the specific uses for each taper and discusses line weights vs rod weights. He tackles some interesting questions on line weights, line care, and then finishes with the low-down on RIO’s new SLICKCAST Technology and what makes it SOO GOOD. It is a long video as it is the entire presentation to the club so, grab a drink, settle in and enjoy. You’ll come out with a better understanding of fly lines.
