Features

Color-Coded Rear Loops – Rio color-coded loops make for fast identification and easy swapping whether you’re prepping for tomorrow in your living room or standing at the head of your favorite run.

Uses
Dry Flies, Wet Flies, and Streamers – Providing constant contact and excellent depth control across fourteen density options, Rio’s Classic Sink Tip is ready to deliver anything from a ligthweight Bomber to a super heavy Intruder.

Temp

Cold to Moderate – Designed for two-handed applications, this tip can handle those cold winter temps just as well as the warmer water you might face in summer.

Taper/Weight

Multi-Density Control Taper – Rio’s Classic Sink Tip employs a density taper. In other words, its not the lines diameter that changes, but how heavy (or buoyant) it gets along its length, which is exactly what gives anglers ultra clean turnover and direct contact with their fly through the entire presentation.
