HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

RIO Products was founded in 1990 by Jim and Kitty Vincent. The company started with waterproof journals, labels, and hand-tied leaders before expanding its product line. In 1993, RIO introduced the 'Powerflex' tippet material, which quickly gained popularity. By 1997, they began manufacturing fly lines, solidifying their place in the market. RIO has been at the forefront of innovation in fly fishing, with technological advancements such as interchangeable tip lines, density compensation, durable running lines, specialty spey casting tapers, welded loops, and dual coatings on fly lines. The company has always been staffed by passionate fly fishers who prioritize practical experience in their product development. In 2005, RIO was acquired by Far Bank Enterprises, the parent company of other notable brands like Sage and Redington.
