RIO’S BIG NASTY LEADERS are designed to cast large, heavy or air resistant flies. The leaders are made of a medium stiff nylon and have a powerful taper design that easily turn over streamers, big terrestrials (like hoppers and stoneflies), and cope with tough winds. The copolymer material is incredibly tough and highly abrasion resistant.
With a RIO Cranky kit, anglers can change lines quickly and efficiently as fishing conditions change. Simply wind the line off the reel through the rod on to the fly line spool that is provided, unloop the line from the backing, then loop the new line to the backing and wind the new line on to the reel. With this technique anglers will not need to restring the rod.
Engineered to fit the angler (not the other way around), the Axiom II fly rod offers the optimization of the three-dimensional approach to casting a fly, hooking a fish and landing it.
