Rio Coastal Crabber Fly Line

DESIGNED WITH NEW ENGLAND’S TECHNIQUE-PIONEERING PRO JOE WEBSTER FOR EFFECTIVELY, MORE EFFORTLESSLY FISHING CRAB FLIES TO BIG BEACHROAMING STRIPED BASS. Front and Back Welded Loops   Easy ID DualTone  The Coastal Crabber was designed, tested, fussed-over and perfected in conjunction with one of the most dedicated striper anglers on the planet: RIO Ambassador Joe Webster. Joe once fished over 1,000 days consecutively – and many of those days were spent targeting trophy, green crab-eating striped bass on the beaches of New England. The Coastal Crabber’s fast-sinking head lets you present crab flies realistically, anchoring them to the sand and crawling them up the beach. The line is built on a low-stretch core for increased sensitivity and more powerful hooksets into the tough mouths of big stripers. Even the line's coating was selected specifically for this technique, with its slightly harder formulation for improved durability when dragging through sand and rocks. “Dragging crab flies across sand or mud is one of the most productive ways of catching stripers here on the Maine coast. The Coastal Crabber is the perfect tool for the job. Its abrasion-resistant coating caters well to a wide range of temperatures, which can vary greatly over the course of the striper season. And its well-thought-out taper provides a clunk-free casting experience with sink-tips, allowing for optimal distance – to the point that 100ft wasn't long enough and we had to extend it to 110. Pro Tip: Stretch thoroughly before use.”  - Joe Webster / RIO Ambassador
