RIO Products Ambassador Series – Phil Rowley Lake

Fine-Tuned Lake Lines with integrated tippet ring designed by ambassador Phil Rowley for a more streamlined leader connection and easier change out of lines without sacrificing existing leader setups.

Phil has chosen some of his favorite RIO lake lines, particularly those that are typically used with long leaders, to make up this new series. The Stillwater Floater, Aqualux, and all configurations of RIO Midge Tips will be available with integrated tippet rings in 6wt and 7wt. 

• Integrated tippet ring for east tie-off point and smooth line-leader connection
• Multiple configurations available, coming in our most popular RIO lake line tapers
• Built with RIO’s exceptionally slick, durable SlickCast coating

“I love fishing lakes using long leader presentations. For years, loop-to-loop leader connections have made these presentations challenging. We now have a solution. As a devoted stillwater fly fisher, these Ambassador lines are a game changer, making long leader presentations a breeze. The smooth leader-to-line connections of these lines slide through my rod guides smoothly, not only when threading the rod and preparing to cast but, most importantly, allow me to bring long leaders into the rod without binding at the tip to land fish efficiently. With loop-to-loop leader-to-line connections removed, on-the-water line changes are now a breeze. Having these lines in my kit bag gives me a critical presentation advantage.”
