The redesigned and slick cast coating RIO Outbound Short. RIO’s OutBound Short series of lines are designed to cast large and heavy flies and get huge distances easily. Built with a short, aggressive front taper that easily carries large, weighted streamers, and a powerful head design that loads rods deeply and quickly for fast, easy distance. A full range of densities make this a very versatile line series for both the freshwater and saltwater angler. Best of all, the line is built with SlickCast—the slickest, most durable coating on the market.
There are 6 different density lines to cover every fishing situation:
A Full Floating line (F), for top water action
A Floating Line with 15ft of "hover" Sinking line, then 15ft of clear Intermediate Sinking line at the front (F/H/I), for fishing 2-3 ft deep
A Full Intermediate Sinking line with a 15ft clear tip (I), for fishing 3-5ft deep
An Intermediate sinking line with 17ft of Medium Sinking line, then 13ft of Fast Sinking Line at the front (I/S3/S5), for fishing 4-8ft deep
An Intermediate sinking line with 17ft of Fast Sinking line, then 13ft of Extra Fast Sinking Line at the front (I/S5/S7), for fishing 6-12ft deep
A Full, Extra-Fast Sinking "Dredger" line (S7), for maximum depth
FEATURES
Front loaded to cast large flies with ease
Designed for easy distance

EasyID- RIO’s printed line marking system that allows anglers to quickly and easily identify each line.
Far Bank recommends this line to pair with their redington predator rods. I haven’t cast it yet, but I am hoping it will help achieve greater distance while casting larger flies. I received this line already installed on a reel I also purchased. I noticed the backing knot had already cut completely through the line coating down to the core on the loop. I don’t know if it is a line quality issue or just the way it was tied. Disappointing for a premium line. I own many other Rio and SA lines and have not seen that before.

The 7wt intermediate tip is perfect to get the fly down into the zone quickly. Love this line on my streamer stick.

I use this fly line for trout fishing and sea bass fishing. I think it's easy to cast to the destination on this flyline. I am catching good fish in the deep part by this fly line. I like this fly line very much.

Pairs perfectly with my Redington Predator

Perfect match for my Redington Predator 9wt. Turns over large flies with ease and shoots better than any line I have. Perfect for chasing big predatory species in the surf or lake.

Better than the old outbound

I haven't found the new "slickcast" coating helps be shoot lone farther, it's definitely more supple and less prone to tangling. A nice improvement over the old outbound shorts.
