Review: Great Starter Line - A very nice starter fly line from Rio, just like you would fight at Bass Pro or Cabela’s and, if I remember pricing, may be a bit cheaper!
Review: Good fly line - The Rio Mainstream fly line I ordered is reasonably priced and suits my purposes very well. Fished with it today and encountered no issues. Now I'll see how it holds up. One observation: the line doesn't come with preformed loops on each end. A couple of nail knots aren't difficult, but would factory loops jack up the price?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Starter Line
*by L***Y on December 13, 2025*

A very nice starter fly line from Rio, just like you would fight at Bass Pro or Cabela’s and, if I remember pricing, may be a bit cheaper!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good fly line
*by B***S on July 25, 2024*

The Rio Mainstream fly line I ordered is reasonably priced and suits my purposes very well. Fished with it today and encountered no issues. Now I'll see how it holds up. One observation: the line doesn't come with preformed loops on each end. A couple of nail knots aren't difficult, but would factory loops jack up the price?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The line I was looking for!
*by G***Y on August 11, 2025*

This is a well-regarded brand of fly line that is generally considered a good value. Local stores did not have this line with the particular specifications I wanted, so I looked for it on Amazon and bought it there. I wanted a fly line with the specs I was accustomed to, but the stores were catering to what is currently more popular. I use a lot of other RIO products with confidence.
