    Default Any reviews on Rio's Perception lines?

    I searched the forum and I can't find any reviews/opinions of Rio's Perception lines. Anyone willing to talk them up or down? They've been out long enough that some folks have probably fished them. Thanks,
    Rich

    There are few things in life more pleasing than the sublime marriage of form and function that is found in a well crafted fly rod.

    I have a wf-6. Its a great line. I've used it for trout and bass. I started using a new the rod at the same time, so I can't compare it to other Rio lines. I'm sure its at least as good the Gold, my previous favorite line.

    I have a 8wt Perception line. I've been using if for bass and carp. It has a slight texture, with bothers me. It's not as bad as a Sharkskin, but it's still annoying. I'm neutral on the color coding and it doesn't seem to be more 'sensitive' than any of my other lines. It turns over heavy flies just fine.

    Other than the texture (and occasional friction burns) it's a good line. However, I would have been happier with good ol' Rio Gold.
