The other major improvement with the SlickCast technology is substantially improved durability. According to their studies, they just squeaked past the new Airflo Superflo, which we have also been testing, and the SlickCast far surpassed the other competition in the slickness department. Less friction means increased line speed, which translates to increased distance and a greater ability to feed line through the guides for extended drifts. Rio claims this New SlickCast coating has the lowest friction rating out of any fly line technology on the market. "Butter" would be the word to describe our initial reaction. We caught wind of this new fly line coating in early March before the pandemic and were able to lawn cast them on the New Sage Sonic Rod series. Rio has stepped up to the plate big time to compete with the SA Amplitude powerhouse unveiling their New Rio Elite Series and Premier Series Fly Lines this past week featuring SlickCast. Their "textured" coatings and AST Plus slickness is pretty legit. Scientific Anglers has been leading the pack with their mega popular Amplitude series and rightfully so. thankfully! Currently there is some stiff competition with the three big manufacturers, Scientific Anglers, Rio, and Airflo. Like many of you, I remember when the $10 Scientific Anglers AirCel was the "average" line and a Cortland 444 Lazerline was the next big thing since sliced bread.įly line technology and tapers have come a long way since those days. In the ever changing world of fly fishing gear, the fly line is no stranger to the latest and greatest improvements. SlickCast Technology - Slicker than Snot.
