Not sure which running line to get for your switch or Spey rod? Get this one. We love Rio’s Metered Running Line. It is super slick so it really flies but it is still easy to handle with cold hands. It has a low stretch core so hook sets are solid and executing casts is straight forward. And the color changes every 10 feet so you can easily gage how far your cast went and effectively cover a run or pool.

Description

RIO’s Metered shooting line is the ultimate shooting line; packed with features that result in long casts, greater hookups and more efficient fishing. The low stretch core provides enhanced detection of takes, more positive hook sets, and far greater control when playing a fish. In addition, the line features RIO’s “RangeFinder” system, with a color change every 10ft making it easy for anglers to gauge how far each cast is, and consistently fish through a pool. A short front taper stabilizes the cast and ensures maximum distance and flight time, while large welded loops on each end allow for fast rigging changes. In addition, this line is built with SlickCast, creating the slickest, most durable coating on the market—producing the least amount of friction ever measured in a fly line.

Both ends of the running line have large loops to allow for quick and easy head attachment and rigging. Total line length is 100′ and the color changes every 10 feet.

Select your line based on the grain size head you will be casting:

200-450 grain head -> .026″/20lb
450-575 grain head -> .032″/20lb
575-675 grain head -> .037/30lb
675 grain and up -> .042/30lb
