Well, here we go again.

In the new Kali Fly Fisher, October 2002, Rio is advertising on page 3 (actually the first page past the inside cover, the whole page) their Spey lines.

It looks like they may be dropping their Accelerator line as it is not mentioned. The Windcutter, Midspey, and Grand Spey are advertised as their 3 Spey lines.

There is nothing on their website at this time.

Does anyone know about this new line?

Dana, it appears that we need a section just on Spey Lines.

Not understanding Hal. Scroll to the bottom and it gives you all the reccomended RIO lines for your rod.

As for what line to choose (Accelerator,Midspey,Windcutter) that is up to your casting style. They all will work on your rod in the right wt. The difference between them is the length of the belly and if you prefer a longer or shorter bellied line.

I am just starting out but for lines I am gravitating towards the length of the Midspey. Seems about right for me for short casts and longer ones when needed.
