RIO lines

[Punchshot]

Looking to buy a line for my new Ross BG, does anyone have, or tried the Rio striper line DC Versitip line, any comments would be great - Punch

I use the same lines on the same reel. LOVE them!!! I have a striper clear int. and a 350gr on another spool. Had them both for 3 years now. If I were getting another line, it would be a RIO. They stretch easily, but do need stretching every outing. But what line doesn't? The sink has an intermediate running line that stays firm even in the dog days of summer. The clear intermediate does get a little gewy mid day in the summer, but by then I am fishnig deep with the sink anyway so it doesn't bother me a bit.

Thanks Shaun, think that's the line I'm going with.

I also use the RIO DC 350gr Striper and the Striper Inter W/ glow section.
Both great lines.
My only suggestion with the 350 is too stretch the line according to the manuf directions.
I am not sure they enclose the booklet I got from the dealer but its the proper way to stretch this line.
If you need it, I will fax it too you

I bought a 250 and 350gr last year and had problems with tangling even after stretching and following directions as per Rio.I went to the Marlborough show and talked to the rep and they changed the core last September,I sent them back and have two new lines.I figure it will be about 60 days before I can test them.
