FAQs

What is the best way to clean my RIO Elite Stillwater line?

Use a fly line cleaner specifically designed for this purpose. Apply the cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the line down.

How often should I clean my fly line?

Clean your line after every few fishing trips, or more often if you fish in dirty or saltwater conditions.

What size of backing should I use?

Use the backing capacity recommended for your reel and the appropriate line weight.

How do I store my fly line?

Store your fly line in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can store it on a large diameter spool or in a line wallet.

How do I choose the correct line weight?

Match the line weight to your rod's rating (WF5, WF6, WF7, or WF8). The line weight should be printed on the rod.

What if my line gets a cut or abrasion?

Inspect the line for damage regularly. If you find a cut, the line may need to be replaced, especially if the core is exposed.

Can I use this line in saltwater?

Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt.

Troubleshooting

Line sinks or doesn't float properly.

Clean the line thoroughly with a line cleaner. Ensure no cracks or damage that might cause the line to take on water.

Difficulty casting or tangles.

Check your casting technique. Inspect the line for any damage or tangles. Ensure the line is properly spooled on the reel.

Line memory or coiling.

Stretch the line before use to remove memory. Store the line properly when not in use.
