RIO Premier Bank Robber Fly Line Precision and power for terrestrials and stoneflies.

The RIO Premier Bank Robber Fly Line is the ultimate tool for presenting terrestrials, hoppers, beetles, and stoneflies tight against bankside cover. Designed with a fine front taper, it delivers pinpoint accuracy and delicate presentations, while the rear-loaded head easily turns over large, bushy patterns like salmonflies. A long back taper enhances mending and drag-free drifts, and a unique bright green marker shows the perfect loading point for efficient casting. Built with RIOs ultra-slick and durable SlickCast coating, this line stays smooth and easy to shoot even in hot summer conditions. Purpose-built for bank-side precision, the Bank Robber helps you put your flies where the big fish live.

Specifically for presenting terrestrials and stoneflies close to bankside cover.
When fishing stoneflies, hoppers, beetles, or cicadas, the most effective presentation emulates flies dead drifting and tickling the bank. The RIO Bank Robber was designed specifically for this style of fishing. Its fine front taper enables precise, accurate casts while its rear-loaded head easily carries the biggest and bushiest salmonfly pattern. The long back taper makes it easy to mend and extend a drag free drift while a unique, bright green section marks the ideal lengths for loading the rod and picking up for another cast. Finally, the Bank Robber is made with a slightly harder SlickCast coating than a standard trout line, keeping it slick and easy to shoot on even the muggiest summer hopper days. It has never been easier to get your fly up against that cut bank and keep it there, cast after cast.
