I've been through a lot of rods and flylines and fly lines and currently found the NRX+ to be amazing with an outbound short 9wt line on a 9wt rod. My zane pro 8wt is awesome with a 6wt outbound short. Orvis blackout 8wt likes the slightly lighter SA lines.
I like the outbound short because I have found it to have a larger temperature tolerance than others. In the northeast it gets tricky choosing between coldwater and tropical lines in late June and late September. I have very little issue with the cold water outbound short year round here. Oddly enough, the coastal quickshooter which is also by Rio seems to be very dependent on temperature. Even if water is 64 degrees, if ambient temps are 84 degrees the line becomes limp. I just got the Cortland striped bass blitz line, ill try that out in another couple of weeks once ambient temps are below 80.
@@Tridentflyfishing I used it today for the first time and really liked it. It shoots a little less than the outbound short but casts a lot smoother and turns over flies a lot better. It was a little slippery at first but that was just whatever dressing was on it from the factory. The diameter of the body is pretty large and when I first saw it I thought it would be an issue but it didn't feel big in the hand and I think its why it turns over the flies so well.
Manufacturers are not listing grain weight of lines anymore and finding the right grain weight was extremely important for the performance of my rods. If you guys posted a chart with with modern flylines and their grain weights that would be awesome.
I have to mention that those fast sinking lines are a pain in the ass casting on classic saltwater rods. I found you need streamer specific rods to sling those lines around like Winston Alpha Plus, T&T Exocett SS, Sage Payload etc. Those rods makes all the difference in the world when it comes to full heavy fast sinking lines.
I get wanting to stay with the shorter/heavier lines, but SA’s cold redfish and cold sink 30 are both GREAT options. Airflow’s striper series is also one of the best casting, not overweighted, lines out there.
It is the Echo SR 71010-4 and the grain wt is 420 to 450 I am interested in the outbound lines for overhead casting at the beach S.F. Bay Area and Pyramid Lake . All so interested in a intermediate sink as well but a little confused if the Outbound are already two lines over weight . Thanks for the reply

Sounds like some dialed setups! The NRX+ 9wt with an Outbound Short is a monster

Let us know how you like the Cortland Striped Bass line

@@thomasgallo7271 Good to hear
How do you feel about the cortland blitz? Looking to try it out

Hi Kevin, we post the grains on the fly line's product page

There is some truth to this, for sure.
What do you recommend for the Sector 9wt? I primarily fish with closers and deceivers for stripers.
The RIO Striper 9wt at 330 grains should work well, same with Scientific Angler's Sonar Titan. The Outbound Short will probably be a bit heavy.
I get wanting to stay with the shorter/heavier lines, but SA’s cold redfish and cold sink 30 are both GREAT options. Airflow’s striper series is also one of the best casting, not overweighted, lines out there.
The Airflo line can be a solid choice in the right conditions/situations like sight fishing on a flat, etc.
My favorite line for pike up here in Minnesota is the outbound short.
Great line, for sure.
Would my 7 wt Echo switch rod pair with a 9 wt Rio Outbound short S7
Which Echo is it, and do you know the grain window?
It is the Echo SR 71010-4 and the grain wt is 420 to 450

@@jklavarta53 A 10wt Outbound short is 425 grains, so that might work.
We want to know how durable is Rio's new coating. Need some test from reviewer
Much improved!
How does the coastal quickshooter compare to these lines?
The standard or 'XP'?
