Density Compensated (DC) Type 4 Full Sinking Fly Line4
|
|
|
The DC series of sinking lines have a denser tip than the body, ensuring the line sinks straight, not in the curve of regular sinking lines. This results in better bite detection and more hook ups. These lines are made on a supple core for memory free performance and have a super smooth, tungsten impregnated coating that makes distance casting easy. An essential range of lines for the serious lake angler.

Density Compensation
Sink tips and full sinking lines that have a front taper will normally sink in a curve. The thinner tip of the line has the least amount of plastisol and, therefore, the least amount of sinking compound. All of RIOs premier sinking lines and sinking tips feature Density Compensation. Rio adds a denser material to the front section of these lines to compensate for the thinner diameter. This results in the line sinking in a straight line, helping you to detect subtle strikes and providing faster hook ups. Yet another fish-getting improvement from the RIO laboratory.
