Rio
WindCutter II™ Floating Fly Lines
This
taper was designed especially for western rivers where delicate presentations
are required in windy conditions. Accurate casts can be made with the WindCutter
II with just the tip of the rod for a very tight loop; yet for windy conditions
or when distance is needed, the thick belly will load the butt section of modern
graphite rods.
The Super Floatation Tip, with a welded loop, acts as an indicator to detect
subtle takes when fishing emergers subsurface. It also facilitates quick leader
changes. The AgentX coating delivers smooth casts in coldwater fishing
conditions, and the two-colored line shows exactly the loading point of the
head.
Length: WF3F – WF5F 90 ft (27.4 m); WF6F – WF8F 100 ft
(30.5 m)
Color: Yellow/Sage

 AgentX
is a manufacturing process in which two coatings are applied to the fly line at
the same time. As a result of these coatings being produced simultaneously, they
fuse together in what RIO calls “Fusion Technology,” forming a seamless single
coating that will never separate or break down. The advantages of Fusion
Technology are vast. The “under coating” not only seals the core and covers any
blemishes in the braid; it also adds a super low density proprietary coating.
This under coating fuses to the outer coating, resulting in the smoothest,
slickest, highest floating fly lines ever made. The combination of these
processes ensures that the outer coating is perfectly centered around the core
and allows for greater durability, less dirt pick up and longer casts.
To accomplish this, RIO developed a radically new
chemical that gives a floating fly line a specific gravity as low as 0.65 –
something unattainable with normal microspheres. This new chemical is five times
lighter than the standard microspheres used in fly line manufacturing, but with
much increased durability. By making the under coating with this new super
floating material and the outer coating with lesser amounts of abrasive
microspheres, the result is a fly line that has both a much higher buoyancy
(around 0.70 specific gravity) than competitors’ fly lines (normally 0.85 to
0.90 specific gravity) and the extreme durability for which RIO fly lines are
known. Using the super floatation chemical in the front four feet of a fly line,
coupled with RIO’s unique welded loop (that stops water wicking up the core),
RIO can now produce fly lines where the tip will never sink – an end to that
age-old problem. Super Floatation Technology™ has been incorporated in many of
RIO’s premier trout lines, thus enhancing better strike detection when nymphing,
easier pick up of the fly line when making a cast, and avoidance of sub-surface
micro drag as the tip pulls the leader tight when one is dry fly fishing.
