this an ideal fly-tying kit to satisfy the
keen beginner and established tyer alike.

bullet bobbin holder, a pair of scissors, a
whip finish tool, hackle plier and dub-
bing needle. Some of the materials included in the

New technical lines
RIO’s new Technical Trout linehas been
designed for the angler fishing at range with long
leaders and needing pinpoint accuracy and feather-
weight presentation. The line has a long head and
back taper to increase loop stability and long-range
control, and a weight distribution that easily turns
over long leaders for wary trout. The line comes in
both weight forward and double taper options and
is ideal for fishing dries, nymphs, soft hackles and
emergers to tricky fish at distances.

RIO’s InTouch Technical Trout has the same
taper and weight design as the Technical Trout but
is built on RIO’s ultra-low stretch ConnectCore to
provide even better casting control and enhanced
sensitivity when casting and fishing. With the long,
fine front taper, delicate presentations and pinpoint
accuracy are assured, and the extended head and
back taper increases loop control to make that
possible from distances.

Protection for all your reels
Simms’ Bounty Hunter large reel casefeatures padded, configurable
dividers for keeping eight to ten reels at the ready. The compression-moulded
exterior protects your beauties while in transit and a removable divider shields the
reel tops. The interior casing has padded walls and a non-scratch brushed liner
fabric for scratch-free protection. Multiple zippered mesh pockets and sleeves
keep leaders and lines organised. Built from bomber 1680D dobby ballistic
fabric with a water-shedding DWR finish. Dimensions: 14.5” x 5.5” x 4.75”.
